Contenders for end of season awards?

I know we have 3(?!) games to go, but any thoughts on how these might go? To get the ball rolling: Player of the season: I can’t really look beyond Montoya again. Honourable mentions to Martin, Wiese and Pollard Most improved player: Between Ollie Chessum and Cam Henderson? Given that a year ago we ...

Re: Other Fixtures April 14th - 16th

The way this season is ending, Bath could end up above Gloucester in the table. You could have got very good odds on that in January!

Re: Tigers v Leinster (A) - Champion Cup - Qtr Final - 07th April 2023 - KO 8:00pm

Leicestershire clubs seem to have a vibrant Sunday morning junior games and support, why don't Tigers jump on this and select 11+ kids from the clubs and give them Tigers coaching on Sundays, start from this age not wait until the 15/16 groups start. Yes it might take some talent away from club Sun...

Re: Tigers v Leinster (A) - Champion Cup - Qtr Final - 07th April 2023 - KO 8:00pm

The Leinster forum is dripping with confidence. They’re saying our pack isn’t as strong as last year, Cronin has wound them up a treat and it should be a stroll into the semis !! Pin it on the changing room wall someone. Was it Telfer who said “They don’t rate us?” in that Lions speech. Let’s rip i...

Re: Tigers v Leinster (A) - Champion Cup - Qtr Final - 07th April 2023 - KO 8:00pm

IF we were to win this, as a Tigers watcher for 73 years, imo this would be our best ever win... apart from 2 Euro Finals! In the wider context of the power balance in NH rugby, winning on Friday would arguably be even more impressive than those cup wins! Mind you, I say that with a mere 30 years f...

Re: Tigers v Leinster (A) - Champion Cup - Qtr Final - 07th April 2023 - KO 8:00pm

Really excited about this - rational assumption is Leinster start as strong favourites, and if this match was played 10 times would probably expect them to win 8 or 9. The beauty of knockout games is that 10-20% chance of an upset is an enticing prospect! Tigers probably need to make it ugly and scr...

Re: Tigers v Leinster (A) - Champion Cup - Qtr Final - 07-09th April 2023 TBC

Sir, these days can be swayed by the crowd. Put something "iffy" up on the big screen and the partisan crowd will be crying for blood. And here’s me thinking Tigers recent record at WR was down to the quality of our team - kind of takes the gloss off it to realise the cards have been stac...

Re: Edinburgh match.

Just logged on to buy tickets for the match, thinking maybe I'd left it a tad late to get a decent spot. Noticed there were spaces everywhere, so did a bit of calculator maths. At the moment there are 8737 space left - a heck of a lot! i thought the place would be heaving. TV coverage, cost, Friday...

Be good to see Exeter get through to the Champions Cup QF now - they’d probably send a 2nd XV to us if so :smt002
