Re: Quins must win 23

You 'll be delighted to hear that I have got it sorted. Or at least I can, with authority, state what the problem is. It's the back row. Hold the front page, it's the half backs, no wait it's the centres. Definitely the centres. Oh, it just may be the defensive structure. No, it's the failure of the...

Re: Murphy appointed head coach

3 words as to why we will do well under him... Anglo-Welsh Cup 2017 So, after many years as an integral coach at Tigers, what has Murphy added to the squad in your view? Skills? Attack? Defence? Team morale? Continuity? Tigers spirit? Recruitment? Development of prospects? all of which btw have bee...

Re: Quins must win 23

I don't really see the main problem as the back row, its in the centres where the opposition just run straight through us. One other fault I see is an individual charging up to make the tackle, being side stepped then setting off straight down the middle with no one bringing him down. Problem is de...

Re: Quins must win 23

I bet Murphy needed that like a hole in the head....i wonder what team will be put out?? and who is out? Another thought, surely the team would have all had their flu jabs?? I've never had flu in my life until, working for the NHS, I was badgered into having the jab. Never been so ill in my life! N...

Re: Quins must win 23

You disagree but then don't point out the conclusions! What follows has absolutely nothing to do with the stats quoted. I agree totally with your conclusions, just not the way you arrived at them. My maths teacher said you should always show your workings. Sorry. I don't quite understand the antago...

Re: Quins must win 23

I think it would only take a defensive system the scale of Blake's catenaccio plus little boosts like the return of Denton to see us winning a lot of games. I do subscribe to the theory of Board neglect since 2012 and would add that those Board members with responsibility for team affairs (and sack...

Time for him to show everyone he is in charge of the tactics and playing style.
Good luck reigning in the lip but totally agree!

Re: Time for us all to really back Geordan

Pleased for Murphy. Now, let us fans who as usual will be at Welford Road v Quins, get right behind the team. And the players: if you don’t play now with pride and for a bloke who is Tigers to the core then we don’t need you. Well done The Board but this is only the start. Go and look at Sarries an...

Re: Murphy appointed head coach

Ok I'll come off the fence. I hope all goes well for Geordan because A) l like the bloke. B) I like the bloke. And C) l like the bloke. What can I do to change the appointment? Rock all. To paraphrase a Scouse mate of mine "One has to perform with the equipment one has." So let's get on w...

Re: Murphy appointed head coach

Murphy is a great backs coach, nothing more... And the best spiral kick I've ever seen. But why oh why are the Board so blind to the obvious - the club is in disarray and uncles Cohen and Glynn are Teflon ..... Well falling season ticket revenues stick, fans in uproar sticks, worst run since 1975 s...

Re: Give Murphy the job

The people that ask for coaches to be sacked, generally don't. They never give names of who we could get to replace a sacked coach and then usually respond with "It's not my job to appoint a new one" not realising that it's not their job to sack the coach either but it doesn't stop them s...
