Re: Tigers v Gloucester - Premiership Cup Final - Friday 15th March 2024 - KO:7-45pm

Sadly it’s one of the most inept, passionless and baffling performances of the past few seasons. I cannot name one player who has stood out for us. Next week will be a massive point in the season because with season ticket prices having gone up some fans are already thinking of not renewing! If the ...

Re: Tigers v Gloucester - Premiership Cup Final - Friday 15th March 2024 - KO:7-45pm

Interesting selections really:we have Cole, Steward, Martin, Chessum away with England and knowing our luck all of this quartet not be available next week. Then JVP, Watson, Cronin, Henderson, maybe Dolly, Clare out injured and Youngs fit but can’t play due to rules! Gloucester: Balmain, Atkinson( c...

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

I think Furbank is a very good player but Borthwick needs to find out if he can become World Class like Freddie: I also read a couple of weeks ago that Freddie had picked up a niggling injury! Furbank has also been quite a versatile player and we know Borthwick likes that too. No one expects England...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - Crocodile McKeller: Men at Work

Wigglesworth did a great job when he suddenly took over at Tigers After a tricky few weeks our attack improved. I’m not sure England have had enough time to get their act together. I do hope though that Borthwick soon decides who he believes are the best players to take England forward. Ireland are ...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - Crocodile McKeller: Men at Work

Like some others I too thought Martin could be a very good. Player at 8 but then was privy to a chat between our props who said the “ scrum was a different beast with George ‘s power at lock!”
Our 3 best locks areChessum, Martin and Wells. Wells’ defensive work and line out jumping is underrated!

Re: Next seasons season ticket

All I’m saying is like City fans and many other fans of clubs, there are many of us who will support our beloved club whether results are always good or the prices increase! In the early days we struggled to find the money for season tickets so decided to forgo an annual holiday! Like everything it’...

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

Thanks for that as I thought the same and until then Christophe had been pretty good. Still: well done Italy.

Re: Next seasons season ticket

Like many of us I continue to support Tigers at most away games so I’m on the other Premiership Clubs’ emailing list. Our season ticket prices have been incredibly good value since COVID and having already seen some of the prices for other clubs for 24-25 I’m sure we will continue to be one of the “...

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

Personally I thought Cole had a decent game as did Martin when he came on but Genge looks half the player he was with us and Earle today gave a couple of daft penalties away and I’m not convinced he’s a good enough player at 8. Play Earle with Mercer at 8 and that might add a better skill set. Itoje...

Re: Trailfinders a sad indictment of rugby

It doesn’t matter what we fans think unless the powers that be urgently look at the game from the top to the bottom! Tigers despite not selling out now but do a have much larger seasonal average attendance than in the days of Johnno and Backy: Quins also now have a much better average attendance: Sa...

Re: Ealing PRC game info

Tigers weren’t at their best but all that matters is the result. The pitch looked like the artificial pitches that have been down too long. Players absent: Cole, Heyes, Hurd, Montoya, Dolly, Vanes, Cronin, Henderson, Chessum, Martin, Reffel, Weise, JVP, Youngs, Watson, Bassett, Simmons, Steward. Onl...

Re: Ealing PRC game info

Well done Ealing as they gave a great account of themselves and if Mike Brown had been playing full back for them they’d have won! Some of our decision making and efforts in the scrum and line out need addressing quickly as does the baffling decision to turn down 3 points like we did just before hal...

Re: Ealing PRC game info

I’m going to say it now: we were 7-6 so why not build the score.
We aren’t playing well so take every 3 going.
