Re: Re-Shaping Leicester Tigers | Episode 1
Regarding the “Rebels” whilst I can understand that suddenly having a 25% pay cut imposed on you would be a shock and understandably may force you to look elsewhere for employment, I find it totally bewildering under the circumstances of the pandemic that you would look to sue your employers. The m...

The press release reads like a reference I had from an old manager, who hated my guts!

Re: South African Tigers
I really do think the term World Class needs to be reassessed. Of course you do. Is it light at the end of the tunnel or a train? Train. For how often "World Class" is used in all forms of life these days, virtually everything & everyone is "World Class" making the statement...

Re: Salaries to be investigated by HMRC
Blimey, one mention of Tax and some people on here turn into Elliott Ness!
Took HMRC 4 goes to get my tax code right, so I won't hold my breath.

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2020/21 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD EPISODE V: Borthwick Strikes Back
The Hardwick situation is a sorry affair all round. Wigglesworth said in a recent interview that Borrhwick had recomended a book by Dough Lemov, a leading education expert. One thing Lemov advocates is don't interupt a lesson for naughty children, as its unfair on the others and wastes time. Perhap...

Re: Has Rugby Got a Refereeing Problem?
I agree keep it simple..... 1. Tmo looks when a try is scored or player injured. 2. Feed at scrum 90 degrees 3. Touch judge where the ball goes out and offside. 4. 5 seconds from "use it". 1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi...... 5. Palms must be showing when you enter a ruck. 6. Each team has 2...

Re: 6 NATIONS 2021
Unfortunately the tactics of the media are to excite, titilate or make people angry. Emotions are a far stronger driver than reasoned argument. Same with this forum. A well thought out balanced appraisal of Saturdays game will be ignored but write "The board is a steaming pile of excrement and ...

Re: 6 NATIONS 2021
If my job was asking what amounts to verbal clickbait, I think I'd be crying on the way home every day. So what questions would everybody else have asked? Or shouldn't players and coaches be interviewed after international matches? I think that she went in to get a headline "Farrell thinks ref...

Re: Away vs Quins Sat 13th Feb
The problem with focusing too much on the result is you develop a fixed mindset. Not losing becomes so important that you only try what you're good at. Players become fearful of looking stupid, don't challenge themselves, try new things Michael Phelps, Michael Jordan, Tom Brady and Tiger Woods have ...

Re: Away vs Quins Sat 13th Feb
The ref was equally clueless for both sides but the TMO........when are they going to stop this constant picking and choosing which offence to highlight????? If you see a high tackle which separates a players head from their body that's your moment to shine otherwise shut up and carry on dunking you...

Re: Advantage Law - Just let them score!
Surely the original spirit of Penalty Advantage was to keep the game flowing and allow the attacking team to throw the ball around with nothing to lose. 100% sure it was not! Penalty advantage is played for a tactical or territorial advantage and not solely for Hail Mary passes. According to the IR...

Advantage Law - Just let them score!
Surely the original spirit of Penalty Advantage was to keep the game flowing and allow the attacking team to throw the ball around with nothing to lose. Unfortunately how it is being refered close to the try line is giving the attacking team an unfair advantage. Once advantage has been called teams ...

At full time he posted a video of a chubby guy on a webcam shouting "out :censored: played" and putting finger to lips. This might also have been coincidental but he quickly deleted it. If you do want to be left in peace, don't post inflammatory messages on your twitter when the majority o...

Re: Jordan Taufua signs for Lyon OU with immediate effect
Just because Lyon or Jordan or the press announce he has left and signed for another club, he still has a binding contract with the Tigers. If the Tigers haven't agreed with whatever financial compensation the French are offering, then he is still our player. Why is this bad form from us, should we ...
