Leicester Tigers

So the Exiles have lost two major sponsors as well as a large proportion of a diminishing fanbase, yet they seem unmoved on cancelling Jackson’s signing. I think they would find that quite difficult (or at least expensive) as they signed him will full knowledge of past actions. What is interesting ...

Astonishing game, but surely Barnes should have checked the two questionable passes leading to the Williams try?

Momentum is a basic law of physics it has nothing to do with which hemisphere you are playing in. This topic subject has been subject to detailed analysis and there are ample videos demonstrating how the ball retains forward momentum even if passed backwards. Yes, but what does sometimes get misint...

The Daily Wail is reporting tonight that Mike Ford has been offered a new contract (at Tigers), but that there’s no certainty about Geordie’s future role.... I wouldn't be surprised by a contract extension for Ford as it matches the aim to surround Murphy with experience. I would be surprised by eq...

Out of order? You may think so in your sheltered suburban set but you are certainly not of the contemporary world. The kind of high jinks I am referring to, definitely still goes on and much closer to home than you think. The fact that the lads don't broadcast it may be fooling you but I can assure...

The bottom line is, how well does he play rugby? Not a week goes by when someone on here is pleading for the club to sign some hard nut enforcers. Something I agree with but they will certainly not be choirboys or youth club leaders. They will also play hard off the field. Yes, I have toured with s...

The OP raises the question of morality not legality. The fact Jackson wasn’t convicted doesn’t mean he acted morally. Jackson’s contracts were not terminated because of guilt, but because his behaviour was below the standard expected. So you could suggest that Irish are saying that their standards a...

No it's not. Competent businesses change the composition of their BOD's regularly. It is one of the things that makes them competent. This BOD has failed. That's not my opinion. Look at the facts. If it hasn't failed then what would failure look like? Tesco's, Shell, P&G do not judge their BOD ...

I see lots of people are supporting Geordan in his role for a couple of reasons: (1) He should be given time, and/or; (2) We need stability more than we need another sacking. The question is... How much time is sufficient for Geordan? If we're in this same position 5 rounds into next season, is tha...

Extremely able people WLL be out there, but for you to ask for names, is utter nonsense, imo. You are either in favour of our BOD, or you are just being plain daft, with your petit and puerile posts. Still, I suppose some people can't help themselves, or lack the ability to post constructively. I d...

The problem with reacting after the season finishes, is the recruitment appears largely in place for next season, meaning if someone new is to come in, they inherit somebody else’s squad choices. I can see the theory with bringing in Tigers old boys, to restore some of the previously feared Tigers ...

Ultimately I fail to see any discipline, gameplan or structure imparted by this current coaching setup. Yes, if you want to wear the rose tinted glasses, you may look at the initial declared recruitment plus those rumoured to be following, and hope for a better outcome, but ultimately I’m not seein...

Well that was.....disappointing. Microcosm of the season really. Got into a decent position but let it drift away. Made the line breaks, but no support on the shoulder or confidence to make the pass. To be fair, it is yet another centre combination (plus Smith not long back from a serious injury) so...

The return of Matt as head coach is not an appointment that I personally would have made. That is a startling thing for a CEO to say, it's a criticism of other board members and the governance of the club. And explicitly distancing himself from the issues. In another business environment I'd say th...

Folau was on a yellow already from previous comments, Billy wasn't, so I would say the yellow will be shown, any repeat offence would force the RFUs hand. Fair point but from the mists of time, wasn’t there an incident when Billy V was injured, and had a few too many sherberts at a corporate do and...
