Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2020/21 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD Part 2

Manu Tuilagi is coming across as a bit of a diva, Tigers have stood by him during his injury, legal and immigration status problems, this was no act of charity, but a calculation that he was worth the trouble and cost but his benefit to the team over the past few seasons has been very limited. Now w...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2020/21 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD Part 2

I am disappointed in the conduct of some of the players or their agents (family) but we should bear in mind the old saying never meet your hero's. Modern media perhaps brings us too close so we can see the people behind the image, it is not always a pretty sight. Being a great rugby player does not ...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2020/21 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD Part 2

Sadly the clubs relationship with the Tuilagi brothers has always been one of mutual self interest not loyalty, we allowed the best of the brothers Alesana to leave when he was offered a better deal, the same with the other brothers, so thank you Manu and best wishes for the future, his contribution...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2020/21 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD Part 2

In all this talk of contacts, no one has pointed out that most contacts have a Force Majeure clause, I would assume Tigers will have activated this clause in all the players contracts that is how they can legally change the terms otherwise they are just whistling in the wind. Tigers would have a ver...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2020/21 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD Part 2

People should listen to what our chairman says whenever he gets the chance, he wants Tigers to be here for a long time, the board are just custodians. That being so, playing in the championship for a season or two is not the big fear for the board, going bankrupt is the thing they will not allow! Th...

Player rebellion at Tigers

Telegraph reporting that up to 12 senior players are refusing to sign new contracts and face exiting the club is they do not sign by 5 pm today Another mess at Tigers, symptomatic of the last few years, for me losing the international players is a gain, they bring nothing to the club when they retur...

Re: Provisional Premiership Return Date ?

Rob Baxter quote from today's telegraph "Physically, I think we can do it if we start soon and we have no breaks but for me to sit here and go 'we are going to be playing in mid-August' is ridiculous,” said Baxter who has not yet been able to do hands-on group coaching as the players’ furloughe...

Re: SA to join a 7 nations set up

I like having the 6 nations on the BBC but losing the comedy duo of Brainfart More and Buttermouth Butler would be a welcome bonus, we might actually get some commentators that explain the action not just bicker constantly.

Re: Scotland V England

Please can we change the playbook.
Turnover possesion = kick it
Lineout posetion = kick it
Ruck possesion = kick it, and on and on, it is so boring and mostly stupid, we won as the Scots were even more dire than us.

If that is the best we can do we may as well give up!

Re: France v England

This is worrying as England normally start well in the 6N and then fade away the longer they are in camp, so if the usual patern is repeated we are in for the wooden spoon!

Does anyone have the win- loss ratio with England v anyone with Nige as arbiter of which laws laws to ignore?

Re: IS this season a waste of money and time

The reason to watch this season, is to see if we can develope our game without the trapdoor of relegation as an excuse for the dire dross we have had imposed on us for the past few years GM can unleash the team without fear, we can lose without consequence so it realy should be style over substance,...

Re: Bath vs. Tigers - Sat 25 Jan 15:00

The lineout is a mess we lose the game, have I heard that before?
Under pressure Tom Youngs could not hit a cows behind with a banjo, for how many years has that been true?
