Re: Alan Dickens - Tigers lack of attack coach.

And herein lies the problem. TBH this is as bad as I’ve known. The fans have a right to know what’s going on, without disclosing personal situations, and are commenting on a broadcast from the BBC not some tinpot podcast. Others are available. Maybe the club would be happier if questions were asked...

Re: Tigers on Loan 2023/24

I reckon if Jamie Roberts can qualify as a doctor while playing for Cardiff, Wales and the Lions, Ilione can make time to come to training. Has there ever been any suggestion from the club that he isn't fully available to fulfill his professional contract? No, it just appears to be something people...

Re: 2024 Academy Squad

Flanker Lawrence Adediran is pretty highly rated from what I hear. As is scrum half Jack Dickens and utility back Tom Threlfall Prob a few others. Adediran (Flanker) Dickens (Scrum Half) Kingsley-Mellowes (Loosehead) Tubuna Maka (Tighthead) Was involved in the England U18 training camps a couple mo...

Congratulations to all of the squad! Anyone know if any of these lads are showing exceptional promise who we should be keeping an eye out for the future?

Re: Tigers v Saracens (H) - Premiership - Saturday 06th January 2024 - KO- 3-05pm

I'd like to see see us swap centres over in attack sometimes i.e. get Kata into outside centre then either a miss pass from Pollard or tip on from whoever moves to inside. I know this could only happen off first phase and quick ball but as it is I think defences know that most of the time when Kata ...

Re: Tigers v Exeter (A) - Premiership - Saturday 23rd December 2023 - KO 3-00pm

Seems to be another injury prone player OHC has already played 11 games for us this season and played more than 20 in each of the last four seasons for Irish. Not what I'd call injury prone. Just my perception then he appears to have missed a few, maybe it’s just the odd 1 or that you're perception...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - Crocodile McKeller: Men at Work

George Martin is nailed on 4 for club and Country (Borthwick thinks v highly of him and wants him there - to me he looked like he had bulked up with England to add even more grunt in the enforcer 4 role). Also I'm sure I read somewhere one of our props saying he is the 2nd row with the greatest amou...

Re: Tigers v Stade Francais (A) - Champions Cup - Sunday 17th December 2023 - KO:5-30pm

Side note: how much better to have Nick Heath commentating, actually telling Barclay to be quiet so we could hear the ref! So many of the other commentators now seem to have their own agendas, Mullins in particular has, IMO, gone right down hill, regularly making gaffs! It was always going to be be...

Re: Return of Champions Cup - Tigers v Stormers - Sunday 10th December 2023

I guess how many teams did we put up in Europe the past 2 years that everyone wrote off that won in France or Ireland? Don't underestimate a team that has nothing to lose and everything to prove. 5 points secured and 0 points given is what we wanted and got. Really bonus points will be massive for ...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - Crocodile McKeller: Men at Work

Latest edition of Tigers eyes Matt Smith shown as skills coach, maybe he has stepped up. Missed the chance not trying for Walder imo I think Matt was promoted as part of the McKellar reshuffle: https://www.leicestertigers.com/player/matt-smith Matt gets a glowing introduction from Dan in the Saints...

No luck - tried every price but none available. Do the club get an allocation to sell these days ?

Re: Eddie Jones resigns as Australia coach

Still doesn’t answer my question. And if there’s a release clause don’t you also think there will be a heavy compensation clause. You can be pessimistic or realistic, up to you Does not matter what I think but after the Borthwick debacle the Club should have learned and not repeat the same mistake....
