Re: Relegation / How to avoid Relegation?
Our points come from: Win vs Newcastle (4), Win vs Bristol (4), LBP vs Harlequins (1), Win vs Bath (4) Love the optimism and we've definitely got the firepower on paper, hopefully the lads will use their weekend off to get to know each other again and come out swinging with some sort of actual game...

Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2018-19
Yes indeed we do have to, unless anybody wants to help me stage an elaborate heist to break into Geordie's filing cabinet? Doesn't mean we have to be happy about it. No we don't have to be happy about it, but possibly, and this is an opinion, it may, as I have previously stated, be linked to the po...

Re: Ring fencing
There's too many excuses trying to be found in favour of ring fencing. I think you need to start with a question of whether the current Premiership model works or perhaps more pertinently whether it can be improved upon. Most clubs are not profitable. For every Exeter there is a London Welsh. You h...

Re: Players won't leave
Th e club may have no choice but to release then - where's the money coming from to pay them if we are in the championship? Parachute payment and ticket sales. I'd imagine we would make quite a big loss still but it would be for one season. How do you know it would only be for one season?. That is ...

Re: Ring fencing
Well teams can already get access to the Premiership based on performance as if they perform well enough, they will win the league so therefore gain promotion. Sure, at the moment this is the only criteria. Infrastructure is a poor excuse not to promote a club in my opinion. And you are entitled to...

Re: Peter Tom article
Doesn’t seem to be much reflection there on his own role in our demise. At least he realizes the severity of the situation and is not blasé. Not sure how useful analysis sessions are at 2am in the morning. I guess it makes them feel like they are doing something. I wonder what odds we were at the s...

Re: Ring fencing
I think they should ring fence but not because Tigers are threatened with relegation. Ring fencing isn't and shouldn't be an absolute anyway. There should be an allowance/route/set of rules for expansion. Such as? Based on infrastructure, finances and performance - not an exhaustive list but a star...

Re: Players won't leave
Eesh, did anybody ever in their lives imagine we'd be having this conversation? Clauses aside it'd make no financial sense to keep them, you don't need Manu and May to win the Championship, London Irish look likely to do it with all manner of old timers and strays. No but you need them for when you...

Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2018-19
Not impressed with Quin's signings. As someone mentioned though, I think they are basically squad signings. At least they are seen to be doing something We have made signings. They are just waiting to announce them. The incoming players have asked for the announcement not to be made yet. We are doi...
