Leicester Tigers

he doesn't have to focus on just two centres, and i definately think the hipkiss situation was strange as i thought he was a good player, but do you agree a centre partnership of manu and 12T is not as defensively organised as one with only 12T or manu? if so is it better to then play 12T with smith...

but do you agree that an international fly half or back row should be able to call some shots themselves? maybe the fact that neither deacon or geordan were on the pitch affected this somewhat? at the level there playing at the coach should be redundant in some aspects of a game. i saw castro at twi...

i'll admit now that the 12T situation is definately a catch 22! the way i see it RC has developed Allen into a contender for the england 12 shirt (whether MJ sees it that way his up to him!) and developed Manu into a contender for the england 13 shirt. it seems that you take the view that 12T could ...

thank you! i've always looked onto the forum now and again to check any rumours mainly, thought i'd pitch in with my opinion this time. i accept that RC should be the one calling the shots for the intial game plan, but where do you draw the line exactly? at some point players have to take responsibi...

i agree! but RC and O'C obviously do judge that as with harrison - he's not in the academy squad. i accept that thats a completely different problem in that if he's in the proper squad then they obviously think he's ready! i do think gridal is definately underated on this forum though! my point was ...

you're right, blame was probably the wrong word! an international fly half should be able to realise when he should stand deep and kick for territory if there back line isn't going anywhere and change his plan accordingly. he should marshall the back line accordingly, at the end of the game at twick...

is it not pretty obvious from the academy and LV cup games that the standard is actually pretty low in these games, and even in the championship! i don't see how people can assume that shoving a young player thats showed a little bit of something in one of these games onto the bench is going to help...

i don't understand why everyone seems to be blaming RC for not being able to adapt to teams that can match us up front and negate are game play?! for most games such as the leinster QF and the sarris final we played much better in the second half so obviously things were said at half time to change ...
