Leicester Tigers

The most embarrassing match since Ulster Forget the last ten minutes, Clermont totally switched off. Out muscled up front, Deacon and Parling are just are not strong enough, thats the worst bit. So no amount of effort from the front three who were chasing shadows... As for the backs, Tuilagi and Mau...

Have posted apology on the other thread--- to Lucas
But he does need tackling practice---lots !

Apologies to Master Amorosino, I obviously got it wrong ( very early thread).His tackling needs a lot of attention but I was reminded by a friend of Les Cusworth's deficiences , and we wouldnt have swopped him for the world. This result will give our youngsters, and Lucas, an enormous lift and let u...

He is frightened of contact and is a liability under the high ball. You either have bottle or you dont. It cannot be coached into you. So unless this leopard changes his spots , he is always going to have detractors. But if any Club is capable of really hardening him up, then he is at the right plac...

Hamilton is certainly a superb acquisition, at least the last i/c did one thing right.
Others---- Pat H, Jaco, Kronfeld, Geordan, Ayerza, Castro , Julian ..........


But the bad buys outweigh the good ones!

Everyone in sport has a sell by date.
As far as Leicester is concerned , Ollie has come and gone....

Irrespective of his hairstyle and tan, he happens to be possibly the very best and most intuiative inside-centre on planet earth. Leicester , and Cockerill could
be the making of him. Well worth a punt, IMHO

I live in Sheringham , you are welcome to watch it here, 01263 822481

Not his greatest day, but he has been a superb asset to us and rivals Vesty for inventiveness and vision.Get a sprint coach to increase his short term pace and he would be a complete footballer.

He will be cited
He will be banned
Question is---will the powers that be admit their stupidity and choose Croft ?

His career is nearly over and we would be mental to sign him, and if he and O'Gaga are the best fly halves in Great Britain we really do have a problem in South Africa.Both are petrified in the face on tackle area and from the Tigers viewpoint there would be at least four better options for a third ...

I have it on top notch authority that Croft was considered a couple of stones too light to impose himself on the Springbok behemoths. A lot of creatine and some more naughty substances to bulk up then.........

Where will he fit in---he does not offer anything in the centre and our wings are fine---I felt he was part of the problem with the total lack of fluency of our backs in the HM era and the fact he played in all the matches where we achieved precisely nothing in terms of back play surely proves that ...

Apparantly the only back he wants to keep is the nightmare called Balshaw !! Suggest it might be the coaching thats the problem, not necessarily the players.If any were available, Somerville, plus the two Pacific Islanders to keep ours happy, and Simpson Daniel who would bloom in a Tigers shirt! IMHO

Lets hope and pray RC wins both the Heineken and the Premiership---- problem being, he can only go downhill.......!!!
