Re: Leinster mind games begin? - Champions Cup (A) - Saturday 06th April 2024 - KO:8:00pm

Orla Chennaoui as main presenter on TNT, I can’t get on with it I’m afraid. Not sure why Sarra has been “sidelined” to the undercard but I preferred her. I guess Leinster Craig will be like a kid in a sweet shop for our game !?

Re: Leinster mind games begin? - Champions Cup (A) - Saturday 06th April 2024 - KO:8:00pm

Again your opinion, you have no facts to back that up, much as mine is my opinion, unless you have access to the goings on at Oval Park. And your answer yo being annoyed about something which is so random that a couple of scores or results could have changed it, is to change the whole rules of the ...

Re: Leinster mind games begin? - Champions Cup (A) - Saturday 06th April 2024 - KO:8:00pm

Don’t get why everything that isn’t totally explainable is a worry, but that’s your opinion. It could be just not recovering as quickly as hoped, look at JVP. Realistically Saints beat Munster and have another European game, we loose have a week off and have a fully fit firing squad in 2 weeks. Som...

Re: Leinster mind games begin? - Champions Cup (A) - Saturday 06th April 2024 - KO:8:00pm

The annoyance with playing Leinster again is more one across much of this round as a significant number of the match ups are simply repeats of pool stage matches. Our reward for getting out of the pool of death is to play it again. A simple approach of winner of pool A plays lowest qualifier of poo...

Re: Leinster mind games begin? - Champions Cup (A) - Saturday 06th April 2024 - KO:8:00pm

Reported as coming back from 6 nations as battered, no point in making them worse Battered but fine for Reffell and Chessum to turn out vs Gloucester ??!! "We're going for every trophy that we're in" doesn't really add up. And neither was anywhere near their best especially Reffell who wa...

Re: Leinster mind games begin? - Champions Cup (A) - Saturday 06th April 2024 - KO:8:00pm

No Martin, Chessum or Reffell - it's a worry unless they're being "saved" to be ready for Saints away. Reported as coming back from 6 nations as battered, no point in making them worse Battered but fine for Reffell and Chessum to turn out vs Gloucester ??!! "We're going for every tro...

As we thought, Leinster's "injury concerns" were probably minor niggles.

Re: Tigers v Newcastle (A) - Premiership - Friday 29th March 2024 - KO: 19-45

Be very tempting to play a mix n match side for Leinster game and focus on the Prem. Tough one for the coach. Pick a full strength team. Get hosed. Pick up a couple of injuries. Weakened for Saints game. It's worth noting that Leinster have a number of injuries/injury concerns. It may well be a mix...

Re: Tigers v Newcastle (A) - Premiership - Friday 29th March 2024 - KO: 19-45

If McKellar is telling the players to throw wild passes, carry so you’re isolated, kick aimlessly or give away silly penalties then he should go. The reality is, these are relatively experienced players making errors and bad decisions that bring the opposition back into the game, week after week. Gr...

Great to see JVP back on form, but Wiese was player of the match in my eyes. Superb in the carry, some massive hits and great work in the tight. We’re really going to miss him next season.

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester (H) - Premiership - Friday 22nd March 2024 - KO:19.45

Not content with beating us twice, Shedweb seem more interested in Diamonds comments about our driving maul. Apparently 2 of our tries were illegal ! Comical ! It was fine when that’s all Gloucester had wasn’t it !?

Re: Tigers v Newcastle (A) - Premiership - Friday 29th March 2024 - KO: 19-45

Steve Diamond - comedy value right up there, absolutely hilarious. Maybe he should concentrate on what his side are doing, or rather not doing. It's a test for Dickson as it will be in the back of his mind for sure. Whilst Newcastle are missing a few key names with injury, I'm not overly confident, ...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)

In terms of young players coming through, there's attitude where you're supremely confident in your own ability and driven to get to the top and that manifests itself in many ways, work rate, leadership, ability etc - then there's misplaced attitude, where you think you should be playing at a higher...
