Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)

Has our academy been the worse in terms of wing production? Looking at saints Slightholme, Freeman, Hendy all rapid, We just seem to struggle getting Wingers from academy to first team. Even Simmons wasn't a winger in age grade. Hopefully Satala and Kinder both live up to promise. I may be wrong bu...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)

Random thought. If Billy V is moving to Montpellier would it be worth a quiet chat with Sam Simmonds to see if he fancied an England return. Not everyone cup of tea I know but prolific try scorer and invariably gets over the game line I think I mentioned Simmons when billy was announced, as I thoug...

I personally feel that's reading too much into things. Pollard played perfectly fine last season with Kelly at 12. Just Kelly has had a stinker year so far. Pollard was just as good as Ford last season SA are like that because that's how their teams generally like their backs, it's not really got m...

I'd really like to see Steward tried at centre. He profiles as a completely different player to what many coaches are shifting to at 15. The top international fullbacks increasingly have kicking and passing games closer to what 10s offer. I think that Freddie's ability to make yards through contact...

Re: Leinster mind games begin? - Champions Cup (A) - Saturday 06th April 2024 - KO:8:00pm

Can’t believe the amount of complaints about the ref by lots of posters on here, he wasn’t at his best as usually he is a top official, we all have bad games and today he made refereeing mistakes against both side but in no way did he favour any one side. We lost not because of the referee but beca...

Unfortunately looks like the games gone but so much better today, attack a lot better, if trying to push it but I happy for them to try this here against a team knowone gives us a chance in. Great to see us look a bit unfortunately again team that play together full time any mistakes punished. Agai...

Interesting selection of Carnduff do tiger see him long term as a 2nd row. Really hope to see both him and Ilione get good minutes in this game.

Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2022

Quite possible. Tuilagi is at the stage where he is going to have to take the highest available offer. Farrell reportedly on around £800k at Saracens, can’t see any club paying that for a 32 year old. He’ll still be on good money though I thought I’d seen a tweet some where stating Farrell as £625,...

Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2022

Rugby Pass reporting that Farrell and Tuilagi both taking a pay CUT to play in France. Quite possible. Tuilagi is at the stage where he is going to have to take the highest available offer. Farrell reportedly on around £800k at Saracens, can’t see any club paying that for a 32 year old. He’ll still...

https://www.rugbypass.com/news/diamond-demands-law-change-while-accusing-tigers-of-illegal-activity/ I see Mr Diamond is trying to suggest things to the referee already... If you can't coach a team to defend the rolling maul, why not just get the ref to ping them on it... At least we know what's wo...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)

I do agree, and i do normally default to the position of the coaches see more of them then i do. However IMO there are 3 that we have seen glimpses of at first team level and have impressed, yet not being rewarded with further first team action. At that point, it is transcending from trusting the c...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)

People talk about Borthwick bringing through young players and McKellar not. It's really not that simple - when Borthwick was here there were a few really good youngsters emerging. Steward, JvP, O Chessum, Martin, Reffell, Heyes. 4 or 5 of those are now bordering on world class. The current crop of...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)

I think our squad overall is looking pretty for next season, though i do think a couple more signings will get us to where we need to be. I just think if we get the attack coach situation sorted, then that will drive the biggest improvements for us. We have lost two games we should have won - Quins...

Re: Tigers v Newcastle (A) - Premiership - Friday 29th March 2024 - KO: 19-45

Hoping to get up there for the game as my brothers just moved up there. So selfishly hope mckellar experiments with a mixture of experience and youth, and just tells them to play. So I’ve put in as many different ball carriers as I can to stop weise getting marked out the game like last week. Whitco...
