Re: Trailfinders a sad indictment of rugby
Ring fencing has killed four clubs, how many more are you planning on letting go to the wall, fans will not follow a game where there is little or no jeopardy, protectionism has failed to work anywhere. Ringfencing didnt cause their downfall, all 4 played at stadiums that conformed to size etc, mos...

Re: Trailfinders a sad indictment of rugby
Promotion and relationships be a factor at all.levels and at all times, jeopardy will mean relegation battles and meaningful games the chance of promotion will mean the same. If say Ealing and Doncaster were added to the Premiership but to bring numbers back to a desirable 12 and the following seas...

Re: Trailfinders a sad indictment of rugby
As usual some very interesting points made. Ealing and their owner are obviously ambitious, I do feel their fan base might be an issue. Yes Tigers were missing most of their big stars, but an Ealing win would have got them a home final in a National competition you would hope that would have attrac...

Re: Ealing PRC game info
Great comments as always Ian and once again …”hear, hear” No team has the divine right to win any game including Tigers. It is rare that any players is never “up for it” that’s just a nonsense cliché We battled out a win with the best we could muster We were far off our best in terms of personnel a...

Re: Ealing PRC game info
Has the final been confirmed for the 15th. There aren’t a huge number of changes we can pick because of the eligibility criteria. Ealing had a definite bonus at the start today having been playing competitively regularly. Gloucester and us should be in the same boat Although we have given Gloucs ho...

Re: Ealing PRC game info
Surely we’d go stronger for a final? Including Cronin/Montoya/wiese/youngs/pollard minimum I was querying it in terms of eligibility. Commentary has said Montoya etc not eligible. Good question but I don't know the rules but suspect that the team we have now will be what we have for the final if we...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - Crocodile McKeller: Men at Work
Could the De Bruin be a swap with Hurd potentially? We could do without 3 of our TH's being in international setups. A Scottish team may want him as a Scotland prospect for the SRU to have more control? Not saying he's going, but wouldn't shock me Fair comment. I'd rather not lose Hurd. He's a Leic...

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
Do defences really dominate now ? Take the Five Nations of 1973 as an example; the biggest single score was Wales' 25 against England. Otherwise 10-9, 14-6, 12-3 and 6-4 are representative examples that year. The rose-tinted specs always paint the good ol' days as an era of beautiful, free-flowing ...

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
Still not convinced Dingwall is what England need at 12. Other than the try I only noticed him missing tackles. I thought Steward had his best game for a while, needs longer studs though. Pack fronted up well, but probably need a brute like Martin in there. If you pick Martin, in which position and...

Just a light hearted question, if LH is 1, Hooker is 2, TH is 3, why are repacements LH17, H16, TH18?Jimmy Skitz wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2024 6:02 pm props changed, change the 7 and we'll have a full pack on the field
