Leicester Tigers

Ten years since bloodgate. Quins made the claim at the time, but couldn't support it with evidence. Monye pulls fewer punches in his article in the Guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/apr/12/bloodgate-made-us-a-laughing-stock-but-the-collateral-damage-was-brutal He makes the point that t...

My point about Ben Kay is that we always have to have someone to blame when things go wrong. There was clearly a lot wrong with Tigers from way back before he and Rory were directors, even Sir Clive. The family atmospher at Tigers was real, very much like the one enjoyed by Exeter today. The castin...

So Ben Kay is the new "aunt sally"? Give it a rest. How ridiculous. There is a board of executive directors running the club Non executive directors have a very small input in any BOD. (I have been one). It's alright having an opinion on club matters but if you don't know the full facts, ...

Cocker inherited a squad that was lying eighth in the Premiership and looked to be out of Europe, he had an immediate impact and we actually made the Heineken Cup Final with our injury hit squad although losing after further on pitch injuries. We also won the Premiership. Over the next few years un...

How to avoid relegation? Accept the teams limitations and play a style suited. Like many teams struggling Leicester don't particularly know what their playing identity is in my opinion. Leicester are a big heavy pack and not suited to endlessly running around, they scrummage and can carry the ball ...

Apologies if this point has already been made, too many pages to review. There were two issues that struck me. Firstly players were making line breaks and getting in to good positions, but rarely was there close support for the off-load; no one was offering themselves as an option rather than go for...

Spot on Wells,I'll get slated for this too probably but even though he's very good at what he does Connor Murray bores me to tears at times,scripted rugby can be awful. But then I see Toulouse score a try from their own 22 and the world is alright again! :smt002 No slating, but I am interested in y...

When you need to perform the sorry excuse for a tactic that is the catapillar as often as Leicester do then know they are in trouble! White even encourages it, my word he is so so slow that it's unreal that he's actually paid to play! But if you are using the box kick, you want to give your SH the ...

What a weekend for England and Leicester sport! :censored: depressing. On reflection, Tigers were no better or worse than I expected us to be, given the time of year. The problem as I see it is, the 6N period and the expectation that our second and third string can compete with a club who are not d...

I thought that was a try, if players are going to chop tackle then it's fair enough that attackers will try and step over it, otherwise we will be seeing more broken legs! So even though there's a law stating you cannot jump into tackles or over players to avoid a tackle, you thought it was ok If t...

Doyle had an interesting day, quite right about the illegality of the jump but then fails to tmo more obvious questions. What were his TJ's looking at? Stops the game for no injury, but allows play to head to a prone player resulting in a further injury. I presume some questions will be asked.... A...

The forum is being over run by footy fans! That was a gutsy performance today given the circumstances. Part of the rebuilding process.. a great defensive effort.........we've been moaning about poor defence for how long, the boys put a shift in against a top notch back row and still we moan. I'm go...

The club doesn’t need to get rid of all the coaches :censored: It’s what has caused this problem to begin with. As Genge said sacking so many coaches and players causes teams to lose that pack mentality. Tigers need to be patient bring in some senior people who know how rugby players think at put t...

Agree with Genge, the academies all around England are private school focused mainly because it is the most cost effective, Schools hire ex players to coach, Schools give scholarships to best club players, ex players have links with Prem clubs etc etc. And I'm not against picking players from priva...
