Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
Even at 100K increases each that should count for 300K extra off. I struggle to see us just signing 3 players, I don't expect any more obvious starters for next season but depth wise centres will be bare bones. I don't see realistically how we could afford to buy out Simmonds and Marchant and if an...

Find that very strange as Andrea stated that we would spend up to the cap. We must have knocked at least £1M off the wage bill with those departures and even if the 3 new signings + contract renewals amount to the same the cap has gone up by £1.5M so either Andea has mislead us or their are more si...

Having released 10-12 players(including short term signings) would have thought that we have more players incoming. Hoping for a prop who can play both sides, a centre and a big nasty no 8. Its the hope that kills you :smt002 Heard from a very good source that no more significant signings incoming.

Yes, excellent points, and your opinion. Mine is different, I don’t have confidence at this point, happy to be proved wrong. my opinion is that finishing in the second tier of Europe, with this squad would be dire, especially compared to the fantastic job Wiggy did, retiring, taking his first head ...

Pep finished 3rd in his first season at Manchester City, he is now on course to have won the league in 6 of the last 7 seasons. Using some people's ideas or thoughts on here, he would have been gone after the first season. Head Coaches / DoR's do need time to be able to implement ideas. As others h...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
Agree that we cannot judge McKellar until next season at the earliest when he has got a full coaching staff and some of his own signings. He has inherited this squad and will no doubt have 3 or 4 players that he wants to bring in once current contracts have expired. I am somewhat bored with this ar...

I get fans frustration I just don’t understand the mind set. If Mckellar were to go what happens next season if his replacement fails in the mind of fans, do we get rid of them too, then rinse and repeat until we luck on a successful one. It is no coincidence that Exeter and Sarries have long stand...

When have we seen anything near a full strength squad turn out this season! Yes, all teams get injuries etc but when I’m not watching Tigers home and away I watch the other Premiership teams and they manage to get settled squads out. Borthwick had a season of awful performances before turning thing...

They do run everything imo- they don’t do everyone’s job, they know what each person is doing and how they are doing it. SB had a defence coach that had no experience in Union, an attack coach that was still playing and had little coaching experience and he plucked his scrum coach from the academy. ...

What makes you say that with all his experience. You earn over a period of time were you expecting miracles. Again I cite the examples of the head coaches at Bath and Gloucester Plus Borthwick had a free pass season to start with! I get fans frustration I just don’t understand the mind set. If Mcke...

Re: Black Lions fixture
Why oh why do they schedule it for Friday night? For those reliant on ever diminishing and unreliable public transport or who have to travel any distance after work it becomes almost impossible to attend. I know that TV schedules force us to have some games on Friday nights and every year I resign ...

6 backs 6 forwards listed. Of those Powell signed to cover RWC, Wollett only ever short term, Atkinson was a surprise but was 3rd choice 10 and received an offer from Gloucester. The other 3 Cocanasinga has never really impressed despite being given opportunity, Scott wants to move back to Edinburg...
