Re: anthony allen?!?!?!
Allen has been impressive whenever I've seen him play (play off final aside), he was very good against New Zealand a couple of years ago with some very good distribution. Think that between Allen and Twelvetrees we have accquired a couple of excellent prospects for next season. I expect the announce...

Re: Exodus to France
I don't see the so called exodus as a problem for the GP or England. In the main its players in their late 20's and early 30's going (no/limited international prospects) and the only young players heading over could probabley do with the education they'd get (Haskell could learn lots from Parisse an...

Re: scrumhalf
The old and lumpy scrum half at my club has an interesting tactic if the ref is on the other side of the scrum. As the opposition scrum half is about to put the ball grab hold of and push on the side of his shorts (waist band) closest to you. Should force him over to the middle/your side of the scru...

Re: Geordan Murphy signs for Stade Français
Just can't see this happening, rumours are all over French rugby at the minute but Stade don't need another full back. Between Hernandez, Corleto and Jeanjean they aren't struggling for options. Plus Geordan loves Tigers.

Re: The drift to France continues
The Perry, Goode, Flutey combination will be interesting to see. Very flowing French in style and personality.

Re: Any news on Alex's hearing?
Would like to say I'm suprised but lets face it we all knew there was a strong likelyhood of the citing commissioners taking one look at the incident seeing a Tigers player and banning him until pretty much the end of the season. I mean look at the rubbish we've had to put up with so far this season...

Re: Newcastle exodus gathers pace?
Fair point, under the new regime he may well be able to cut loose and play some exciting stuff. Whether he will get the opportunity to before the end of the season is doubtful though. Flood played very well against Sale and Vesty has been brilliant during the 6N. Our form has only really sloped off ...

Re: Newcastle exodus gathers pace?
I agree he hasn't had a lot of game time with a string of injuries but he hasn't wowed us in the limited exposure he's has, I wasn't even impressed with his kicking. He was apparently too expensive for Sarries which considering their ditching half of the team and have a serious amount of new investm...

Re: Which Glaws players would you like Tigers sign? If any......
After Allen and Simpson-Daniel I'm not really fussed. Sommerville would be expensive and as a non Kolpac player would limit the use of Hamilton who has been brilliant for us. Wood might be a good signing if Stankovitch left but not sure if he'd want to sign only to play back up to Ayerza. Quera or S...

Re: Dean Ryans Man Management
Remember it was only last year that Cockerill told the Tigers players he didn't think they were good enough and deserved the 7th place the were residing in. Gave them a helpful kick up the backside and we managed to turn it around a bit in the league and get into the play off final. It might spur th...

Re: Newcastle exodus gathers pace?
Looks like Newcastle will be relegated next year then. How do they hope to survive if they don't retain their best players? Nice to see Noon taking himself out of England reckoning though! Hope the rumours are true and that they take Hougaard off our hands they should be able to afford him now.

Re: New signings
We've not got rid of Hougaard yet so at the moment Vesty, Flood, Hougaard and Twelvetrees will be the fly half options. However, when Hougaard is finally offloaded onto someone else (rumoured to be the Falcons) we might be able to invest in another one. Would quite like to see a Paul Burke type come...

Re: Alex Grove try VS Brive
The Bristol centre has to take all the blame, he manned down completely and the Wuss backs chased up just as they should. Should think they'd have been some colourful words used in the changing room afterwards.

Re: Croft to lock? Team up for Sarries game
That would be really sneaky and also great coaching. That sounds like a great plan, are you Cockers in disguise? Thank you very much, we wingers do learn to observe the goings on rather well (espiecially if the :censored: centres tend to hog all the quick ball). Also should any Tigers officials be ...

Re: Any further news on Anthony Allen?
I can't see them losing Lamb, Allen, Barkley and possibly Carlos Spencer without having some plan as to replacing them. Nicky Robinson the Cardiff Blues FH is joining them in the summer. Think we could have done with more of a utility back then Allen (wing cover) but its still a good signing in my ...
