Re: Re-Shaping Leicester Tigers
Because the term “entertaining “ can be used in many different ways. For many life long rugby fans, like me, the intricacies of a hard fought low scoring game with lots of mauls and scrums IS entertaining. A game that is often derided as “one for the connoisseurs “ is at the heart of why we love ru...

Re: Bonus Points
With our aim of getting back to the top, a fortress home is something to also aim for. As an example, if you win all 11 home games with 4 points, that gives you 44 points. Then away from home, win 5 games with 4 points, that gives you another 20 points. Gain a losing bonus point in the other 6 away ...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2020/21 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD EPISODE V: Borthwick Strikes Back
Great news to see Burns back at Tigers next season, a class act who can cover a number of positions, on his day can be a destructive player maker, his little chip kicks are something we can all remember from his last time here, good recruitment and the recovery train keeps gathering speed, add a qu...

Re: Round 14 Fixtures
Great results for us this weekend elsewhere. Despite losing we are very well placed only 3 points from 5th and 15 points above bottom place. Given we now have our internationals back I'd say thats a pretty solid first half of the season :smt023 I’m not even looking at the bottom of the table anymor...

Re: Re-Shaping Leicester Tigers
An interesting interview, the obsession with hard work is mildly annoying, playing rugby is their job, professional sport is a profession where your workers can not be putting in the graft, yet you rarely sack them as you would in the real world , the boss gets the sack, I expect anyone with a job ...

Re: Gouges
If anyone thinks the Sinkler one is a gouge, the world really has gone mad, still trying to work out Aki's Red. Aki shouldered him in the head,no mitigation. And you know what I’m like about harsh reds. Definitely a red,a million %. See Banahans today for a dodgy red for reference Specsavers... No ...

Re: 6 NATIONS 2021
Just to stir things up a bit, the referee for the Wales game this weekend is Welshman Luke Pearce (who knew he was Welsh?!)

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2020/21 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD EPISODE V: Borthwick Strikes Back
Borthwick's statement to BBC Leicester doesn't exactly scream that they're desperate for a fly half, it also suggests that Bonilla may be staying next year in the way it's worded. I wonder if the club know a bit more about the overseas player rules if Kolpak and Brexit changes things next season. H...

Re: 6 NATIONS 2021
I'm English so it doesn't matter a jot to me what a Scottish rugby fan's priority is, but for a majority to only care about the Calcutta Cup that's pretty unambitious and shallow. Does that reflect onto the national team itself? Arguably from the Wales game you could say yes, but we'll be forever b...

Re: BRISTOL vs TIGERS - Sat 27 Feb 21 (1300)
Exeter, second in the league have lost 4 games. As have Sale, Quins and Saints. Falcons and Irish have lost 5 and Wasps, 6. Tigers have lost 6. That’s a crazy stat! Doesn’t feel like it but shows that everyone is dropping points. And we are still a way ahead of bottom placed Gloucester! ....this ru...

Re: BRISTOL vs TIGERS - Sat 27 Feb 21 (1300)
This new game plan is making us much more competitive. We're not getting hammered. But we're going to have to develop our attacking game to start winning matches like this. Teams who can score lots of tries will keep getting too far ahead. Its all about winning sick to death of losing and not being...
