Re: The Nadolos

Was I mistaken or were Mr and Mrs N and baby travelling around in a Mini? I would have thought there would have been entertainment value in seeing Nemani get in and out of that! We thought the same and not one of the bigger minis either, seeing Nemani get in and out of that would be would be an epi...

Re: New Salary Cap Investigation

Maybe a quiet day and idle speculation, but of the current top 4 you’d say 3 were possible contenders Presumably you’re thinking Northampton are the most likely to be innocent? Yes I would say so of those 4, others are mentioning Bath and Wasps too, but I’m not sure who Bath would have over spent o...

Re: New Salary Cap Investigation

All idle speculation, but one of the big suspicions over Sarries was the strength in depth that they managed, they could be missing anything up to 20 players and still put out a side to at least compete with other premiership sides. The same could be said of Exeter, but Rowe and Baxter have always c...

Re: Kyle Eastmond

A good big un will nearly always beat a good little un, I think Kyle is unfortunate that against top class defences he does not have the physique to prosper, he always looked a very capable player but size was against him as he knew he would not win many collisions, so the defence could stand off a...

Midi olympique reporting that there are 17 cases of Covid at Stade. Hope the Veainu family are ok.

Re: Kyle Eastmond

I think the gamble was taken to try and repeat the form he and Ford had at Bath. Unfortunately for whatever reason that rarely happened

Re: Manu Tuilagi

Manu is a professional player so will give his all for any team he plays for. Secondly, the Sale crowd can be as vociferous as us at Welford Road. Sale also, well at least in the last few seasons when I’ve been to their stadium had many young fans attend and Manu is brilliant with youngsters. Manu ...

Re: Team for Exeter

Whilst I agree with Reffell not being as brilliant (yet) as a lot of us (me included) think, Wallace should not be picked ahead of him on experience alone, as with all positions we have to start picking on form, if its 50/50 certainly we should be looking to the future rather than the immediate gam...

Re: The Nadolos

They both come across as people who want to enjoy their experiences where they are, watching these sort of "clips" isn't really me, but they are an interesting insight into life as a professional rugby player away from home. The episode with them going to the pub for "lunch" is ...

Re: Team for Exeter

Having watched a number of the games from New Zealand, one of the things that is clear, that IF the premiership games are officiated to the same standard, a 7 who can stay strong on his feet and go for the ball, without latching, will be invaluable.

Re: Finishing this season

There’ve been one or two comments that Tigers could get in to the top 6 by the end of the season. Mathematically, it’s possible, and if it happens then the champagne corks will indeed be flying. Realistically, however, two wins would be good, and more importantly, each player in the squad should be...

Re: The Nadolos

Surely in France he had experienced Boudan Noir which does need cooking, Black pudding can be eaten raw but probably not to be recommended by today's food standards. Good to hear that they are absorbing local culture, Indian take away next? Recommendations for curry houses in Melton area required J...

Re: Manu Tuilagi

Manu is a great player, he has had fitness issues but they actually appear to be behind him. He has moved on and I wish him all the best for his future. I believe the wage policy at Tigers was too much to a few players resulting in poor depth to our squad, hopefully those days are behind us but cor...
