Some of you must be blind then. I really do despair with some of you. What about Butch James, or Claasens. Tigers shouldn't sign Jerry Collins? Get real. I am not understanding your message as well. How about the above that have got Bath the Challenge Cup? I guess you wouldn't admit that you might b...

Disagree. Thought it was a great atmosphere. Guess though some will see it as otherwise. You should have been there.

Iain, I am not a fool. I am quite justified I believe in my unease over this board, even if not many others on here will come out and back me up. Just because I disagree with you and others who take the rosyish line does not make a fool on that argument. You as an exmod should know as much as anyone...

I am not asking them to sign every Tom, Dick and Harry, or to be like Saracens as you put it. All I am asking them to do is to sign more of the sort of players that Bath and Gloucester and likes of Wasps have that have mostly worked so well. But then maybe too much to ask. And to keep all of the pla...

Well, if you're just satisfied with those signings.Personally, would rather have had the likes of Hernandez or Evans or Butch James. Good as Toby Flood might be he isn't at this stage at least in the quality of those IMO. I don't doubt that Aaaron Mauger will be very good for us, he has shown glimps...

That's good and I imagine any player might be very excited to tour New Zealand.Not least, our own Dan Hipkiss! :smt001 :smt002

Wish though that he was now officially signed with Tigers rather then it being almost a certainty.

I have been disappointed with some of the criticism of Munster on the unoffy and some here. Yes, Munster did run down the clock a bit, but would many other sides not have done differently in such a situation? We have done at times as said on here. Secondly, I was there, and Munster did at times try ...

If suddenly witn the new sponsorship deal, if it was this week, we were told the players we need were coming and they were of the sort of quality we need, then yes I might reconsider.

However, I very much doubt that will happen, and that many people are deluding themselves if they think it will.

As said before recently, they have consistently missed out on top players, they have let two scrum halves go without even replacing them, etc... Not great management skills IMO. People like yourselves will go on defending them to the hilt, saying all is rosy, when in fact all is not rosy behind the ...

To be honest, I am still weighing up whether I will renew mine. The seemingly lack of ambition or positive action of our board, plus travel and often frustration factors are weighing against renewing mine at mo. Would be at bottom of pile, but may stop all the constant travel.

To be fair to both Newby and Woods they aren't really in the same league as Jerry Collins, so I would go for him, but knowing Tigers we probably won't. He would probably end up at somewhere like Gloucester or Bath or maybe Northampton. It would show that we are serious about getting those sort of pl...

I was there at Cardiff, and have to say I didn't notice that incident but obviously was wrapped up in the emotion of Munster winning! :smt001 :smt001 Obviously an unsporting act then from the Toulouse No 22, however to then to tar all French players with the same brush is wrong and may I say ridicul...

Dave, I would gladly give my ticket even to someone if there was a way to do it at this late stage. It is more then likely with the team that Tigers have put out and due to getting back late from today's final, that I will not be going tomorrow. I am not that bothered about spending another £55 trai...

Tigermilo, don't agree with all of your main gist on the world cup. I am fairly confident that NZ will be able to host a decent world cup. Agree that they tend to get quite a few south sea islanders, but don't Australia sometimes do also? I do agree that the scheduling of this fixture wasn't the bes...

Pity we can't field more of an experienced team. Though I suppose they don't want too many injured for the next week. You would expect that team to be well beaten though. It gives a lot of youngsters experience but I expect anyone like myself who has a ticket will feel quite disappointed seeing the ...
