Re: Tigers v La Rochelle (A) - Champions Cup - Sunday 14th January 2024 - KO - 3-15pm

Managing expectations I think, we are in our first season with this set of coaches and players and you think we are going to turn over back to back Champions of Europe in their own back yard? I always hope we will win, but I have a realistic head after over 60 years of following the club, we need p...

Re: Tigers v La Rochelle (A) - Champions Cup - Sunday 14th January 2024 - KO - 3-15pm

The minute or two either side of half time killed the game - going in 14-7 would have been different. Then at 28-7 getting them down to 13 and Pollard kicking dead, followed by Hatherall (I think) dropping a catch when we had a 3 on 1, followed by Mike Brown knocking on cost us 90m and the ball and ...

3 basic errors killed ourselves - still would have been tough but you won’t get close with those basic mistakes

Even he can't run without his legs
He would run with 10 players around his legs, especially backs.
No chance
From 5yds he can just about flop over even if he’s tackled - running at full pelt you’ve got little to no chance

Re: Tigers v La Rochelle (A) - Champions Cup - Sunday 14th January 2024 - KO - 3-15pm

For me the re-signing of Watson has not been good business is this the second time he's been named in the side and pulled out? We cannot keep letting this happen it disrupts the planning unless he's 100% don't pick him Could be coach decision to protect Simmons from being identified by ROG and in t...

100% red - reckless, out of control, high, with force

I still don’t think the ref is right even if the law is applied to the letter?

The glasgow flanker was attached to the collapsed scrum until the 8 picked it up 🤷‍♂️

Full bore without taking any risks if that makes any sense!

By that I mean if anyone has a knock or niggle then don’t risk them. Hopefully we have a hooker back fit to ease the burden on Montoya

Re: 23/24 Injury/Suspension/Absent International List

Freddie Steward had his left arm in a sling after the game yesterday. Sadly not surprised that tackle whilst he was in the air should have been reviewed and it only was not because it happened in the first 5 mins of the game. In my opinion Pearce bottled it Not for me - just a rugby collision with ...

Re: Tigers v Saracens (H) - Premiership - Saturday 06th January 2024 - KO- 3-05pm

Really good game - like Oz I think it’s a positive that we are clearly a work in progress. Get those passes and those off loads in hand and we’d have walked it. It’ll come if we can keep players fit and continuity builds across the paddock. Oh and whiteley was excellent along with Kelly and the whol...

Re: Tigers v Saracens (H) - Premiership - Saturday 06th January 2024 - KO- 3-05pm

Decisions could have gone either way - hey ho but we are fronting up well and most of the game is being played in Sarries half. It’s just a good old fashioned game of rugby with some good forward battles and some decent play in the backs at times too. It’ll be tough 2nd half but we are doing okay so...

Re: Tigers v Bath (H) - Premiership - Sunday 31st December 2023 - KO 3-00pm

Anyone else amused by the noise from the Bath supporters that the reason they lost was because they sent a weakened team. We beat them at their place with a hatful of internationals available compared to their one or two. Now we have a hatful of players injured and some rested we beat them relative...

Re: Tigers v Bath (H) - Premiership - Sunday 31st December 2023 - KO 3-00pm

With all front row, Wiese and Reffell replaced...Tigers lost shape....in a tighter game would not have expected the replacements so early Exactly - we ended up with a back row and front row that had never played together before as far as I can recall. And then changing back 3 too It was never going...
