Learning lessons is exactly why the selection was made! That and preparing for Europe.

Re: Gloucester vs. Tigers - Sun 30 Aug 20 (1630)

Been doing it for the last 2 seasons and yet we still persist with it :smt009 It doesn't help we have a half decent chase that don't want to go up and compete for the ball. You've got to get airborne and get stuck into the guy receiving it. I've defended him a lot on here but Owolfela doesn't look ...

Re: Simon Cohen leaves with immediate effect

Agree congratulations to Andrea, everyone seems to speak very highly of her. One of the posters on here, it may be Strawclearer, apologies if it isn’t, does sometimes hint he has inside information, it would be interesting to get their take The list of posters who claim inside information is a mass...

I fold! Except I still feel Taute may have something to give. And at J P Pietersen I nearly passed out! I think the memory of that much vaunted super winger is what sent me into this debate in the first place!

Re: Sarries vs Leicester - Teams Up

The fact is it's been 7 seasons since Tigers made a premiership final and we have had and continue to experience the 2 worst seasons in our history.. So please can you confirm how many more seasons do you believe we must continue to wait patiently for in order to successfully complete this long hau...

To be fair you do have reason to be cynical / grumpy. I play Jerome Schuster and raise you Joe Ford.
I see your Joe Ford and raise you Matt Toomua.
I raise you Frank Tournaire
I see your Franck Tournaire and I raise you Santiago Gonzales Bonorino.

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2019/20 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD PART 3

I don't know where you'd find that size and try scoring ability for less. The PI monsters who can play rugby aren't just waiting to be discovered anymore there's scouts over there picking them up from an early age. His try scoring record is ridiculous and so is his skillset. Having him causing abso...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2019/20 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD PART 3

Nadolo deal is rumoured to be £240k and a 2 year deal. Not bad for a player of his quality on the wing. I imagine May will have been offered something similar. Sounds too much to me for a player four years past his best. I don't know where you'd find that size and try scoring ability for less. The ...

Re: Tigers vs Worcester

Could not attend game as currently unwell. But from reports on here it seems it was ‘business as usual’ in many aspects of the game, and we scraped a win. Please correct me if this is wrong! Given the current ranking of both teams, a close contest was perhaps expected. I hope you're wearing a face ...

Re: New Kit

Excellent. There’s 4 months of moaning material before July 1st! :smt003 Love it! 😂. But surely you don't mean on this Forum? Forum. Twitter. Facebook. Welford Road on Tuesday night. I reckon the green will be all wrong for starters. And at least one hoop will be the wrong dimension. We probably wi...

Re: Change of Tune

Benny hill theme tune seems more appropriate just now. :smt005 (not a serious post, for the pedants). I'm with the Benny Hill thing. It could also replace the warm up. They could also come out in Morris dancing kit and beat the bejesus out of opposition players with their sticks as they went past. ...

Re: England v Ireland

England very good defensively but still a lot of work-ons in my point of view. Still at least Farrell has learnt to wrap. It was embarrassing, like watching some kid having a tantrum after being told no! Can we please have a new skipper!!! Indeed, but Jones will never drop him. Watching Farrell bei...

Some one has said it P45's If I am not up to the role for which I am employed. I either go into remedial training or shown the door. Why are professional sports persons across all sports treated as "untouchables" We can all have an off day. When the off days become the norm - then somethi...
