Then it must be something about us that players like that declining us.

Ok maybe certain things have happened beyond our control, but its still disappointing. Why didn't we go for Nick Evans? Why we are we missing out on so many big targets? Ok though, it seems we were shafted by Stade's assistant coach. Maybe try again next season. It does seem that so any of these rum...

Even so, we have still missed out on one or two very good scrum havlves, somthing that we desparately need, and are light on flyhalves even if Flood has joined us, and this Argentinian bloke joins us. Would still rather have had Hernandez. We have got to finals and won two out of them, at least, but...

Anyone going to Heineken Cup Final?

I was wondering if any of you are planning to make the long trip to Cardiff on Saturday. I am going as although the game kicks off at 5.00 pm, I will be able to catch an 8.30 train back. I am not staying overnight as planning to go to Tigers v Classic All Blacks game. Who is going? and where might y...

My argument has nothing to do with balance sheets, you misunderstand me. My argument has to do with the quality or lack of quality player we are generally signing, to do with the fact that we missed out on either of Hernandez or Evans, that we have missed out on the scrum half and many of the other ...

Disappointed to hear that Ollie so adamant about not returning. He could have maybe said may return or something like thinking about it. But that sounds bit like sour grapes and disappointing after all Leicester did for him, especially under Pat Howard. Disappointed similiarly with Luke. Maybe thoug...

Our board may have got some things right but they have also missed out on many good players, and are letting good ones go, so no wonder some people are unhappy with the board. And we are being told that some of the players dislike our current Head Coach. Yes, there may be something in your argument ...

I suppose likes of myself have got wrong end of stick about Ollie in not acknowledging fans. What I can't understand is the depth of many it seems resentment or unhappiness with ML. If anything, you would have thought it would have been more towards Richard Cockerill. Maybe some may have problem wit...

Hi Former Prop. I'm great. Hope you are too. I suppose so!! :smt003 I am trying to enjoy what we have achieved in last two weeks and its like a dream in way, but I just seem to get angry at this board's running of the club. Guess I should try to focus more on what we are achieving on playing field. ...

I certainly go along with maybe sacking the board. For me they seem to have little clue in what they are doing and are light years away from making this club the best in the world. In fact, they could end up dragging it backwards. It is criminal that Ben Herring seems to be going. And they expect pe...

Well for me, there are still considerable behind the scenes problems at this club, not least because of the board not handling things right at the top. Putting that aside, its a magnificent achievement in this sort of season for us to get to the final again. Lets hope we do turn up at Twickenham aga...

Stevie is probably right about ML and it maybe largely communication problem. And he does have habit of banging on about all in the mental preparation. However he did so well with Argentina so he must have had some people skills with them? :smt017 Disappointed in what I am hearing about Ollie going ...

I'm back for bit. I find it quite incredible too. I wonder if the board really know what they are doing. Re, the muck up over not signing either Hernandez, or Evans, lack of signing a new scrum half, failure to do more to encourage Ollie Smith to stay, and now getting rid of one of the best chances ...

Did say wouldn't post for while, but couldn't resist this one. Tigers at best 4th, and possibly worse. I think the predictions given are pretty right. I can see Wasps getting top three at least on current form. I don't think we'll beat Bath or even get a point and Quins at home won't be easy on thei...

I wonder whether some of the reasoning behind those strongly supporting Lewis on here is down to sentiment to a part. I wonder if they would be so supportive of someone with not such a big name at Tigers. I have no personal issue against Lewis but he has had more then his share of injury and other u...
