Re: Other European games - 05-07th April 2024

Leinster clearly a good side...but sheer power can negate ability as we have observed with Leinster in the last couple of seasons or so.
French brute force mixed with not inconsiderable skill and game plan to suit will triumph....In my opinion

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

I really don't get the thinking, the scores against Leinster and the performance in the win against Newcastle do not suggest to me that we look so much better with Steward on the wing and Shilcock playing a more advanced role at fullback. To be honest I am not sure the results for England with Furb...

There is a very apt saying..
'Out with the old,in with the new...'

The Club are backing McKellar (rightly or wrongly) depending on your viewpoint and re. signings we have always tended to operate in the same manner.
Be patient,but be ready......

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester (H) - Premiership - Friday 22nd March 2024 - KO:19.45

I suspect shipping points and lack of attack are linked. If your only means of getting the ball up the field is to kick it to the opposition you will give them the opportunity to keep the ball and attack you. Points tend to be scored by the stacking side. Our attack seemed only to be the rolling ma...

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester (H) - Premiership - Friday 22nd March 2024 - KO:19.45

Gentlemen,
bemoan the problems/issues with the lack of attack coach , but conceding 27 points at home in the manner that we did on Fri
and have on other occasions this season for me raises other questions...

Re: The Rolling Maul Podcast - Special Guests - Latest: Andrea Pinchen

The term professional would imply that they do it as a job for a financial reward. It was a well put together podcast by two knowledgable rugby fans and Andrea Pinchen answered the questions that were put to her, without breaking any confidences. I did not intend to imply they got financial reward ...

Re: Saudi Arabia in talks to buy stake in Tigers

Brutal here , but 'professional' in Sport tends to equate to money.Saudia are simply trying to buy respectability; personally not keen, but in essence,can take a bribe as well as anyone else if it ensures The Clubs future.Much to pass though first, hope this is not the case for anyone,any club, but ...

Re: Freddie Steward

Its apparant that Freddie is losing ground to the ultra quick No15 speedsters such as Josh Hodge, George Furbank and Joe Carpenter, and could easily fall by the wayside. Would this not be the time to convert him into a Centre, and with some Margot Wells type sprint training, morph into a very dange...

Re: Tigers v Quins (A) - Premiership - Friday 26th January 2024 - KO- 19:45

Just glad we managed to squeeze out a win. Maybe we can come good on the home straight after a few weeks rnr. I always like Mike Brown but now he's in a Tigers shirt I'm loving it. Even better than the Ashton gig. 100% how we won was irrelevant last night The fact we won was the most important and ...
