Re: Applause for Cocker

I didn't want Cockers to go - but I don't think this is a good idea. Talk about Cockers in the pub beforehand. But as soon as the game kicks off we are behind the team now led by Aaron. A show of support for Cockerill can also be seen as a show of undermining Mauger. And that doesn't sit right with...

Re: Departure of Cockerill

Suspect that RC will take a well earned break before evaluating his options & stock. There is likely to be a great deal of movement at the end of the season in terms of the "DoR Merry Go Round" as at least 3 are at risk: - Harlequins - John Kingston - Gloucester - David Humphreys - No...

Re: DOR aspirants, then?

Ian Robertson has said on Radio 5 Live that he believes SL would be a good choice with AM as his number 2. Not sure about that though.

Re: Positive Posts only for The Great Cockerill

Whether he was a DoR and not moving with the times is another matter. To me he epitomises all Tigers history stands for. As a player top class who stood up to the ABs. A great sense of humour. All in all a nice bloke who gave everything to the club. A sad end(?) to a great career. At least he may be...

Re: Departure of Cockerill

Whilst I am sorry to see such a TIGER leave who has the club in his DNA it may well be the right decision but I really cant't comment on any politics. Given the performance against Sarries which was was a decent one and one we could have won barring poor on field decsions the timing of RC's departur...

Re: Exeter v Tigers - 24th December 2016

To say that I am disappointed with us this season is an understatement. The only consistent thing about the team is it's inconsistency.

Re: Tigers v Quins

Mid week on the rugby show they said Quinn's had over half their team missing through internationals and injury We were mediocrity today If that was firsts against second then we really aren't good enough Kitto was poor And wanting to much time - the drop goal for burns was an abysmal decision by k...

Sometimes I wonder

Most of those who post here are Tigers fans - blindingly obvious some may think. We know we can have our opinions on various players or coaching team and these can at times be quite strong, and I'm no exception, but on reflection do we ever consider as to whether those concerned, or their famililies...

Re: George Ford

To me whether he comes or not must be a business decision as much as anything. Its not just a case of do we or don't we want him. With two adequate 10s positionally we are OK unless one leaves. If that is not the case then the money could be better spent in an area where better needed.
