Great effort at Bath

We thoroughly enjoyed the performance the young lads put in at Bath.Both teams chuckedthe ball about in wet conditions. Well done Cockers,Backy and the team as it was a performance to be proud of.Please can we have a ref one day who is just and fair to both sides?! Another dubious penalty try then, ...

Tigers not interested in winning tomorrow

They'd better be interested in winning as we've paid £34 a ticket to support them.To me every game is a prority especially as EDF winners get more prize money than the other 2 competitions. Having seen all 3 finals last year I know which was the best performance: Tigers v Ospreys as Gloucester were ...

Verdict on Cockerill's stint

Apart from the back play a job well done. I do believe Varndell has to have more game time as no team likes to defend against speed and he and Croft are the only ones who chase the high ball. Ben Youngs has been a revelation at home and away so stick with him and support his darts through opposition...

What's happened to Goode?

Where is Goodey!!I really like Andy Goode. People who jeer him are quick to forget how Andy came back to the club from Sarries years ago because a certain Mr.Pez and a certain South African couldn't kick penalties or conversions for toffee! Andy had offers to go abroad to earn more £s but stayed wit...

Where's everyone sitting at Sarries!

5 of us are going to Sarries today and want to make some noise. Where are our fans going to be? Everytime we go to Sarries we seem a bit isolated! Thanks for help.

Well done Ben Youngs

What a great last 10 minutes yesterday by Ben Youngs. Quick to the breakdown, eye for a gap(just like his dad) but best of all a fantastically quick pass off both hands. Off to Sarries next week hoping Cockers might give Ben a full game.On another point: Rabeni has to play in the centre for us, not ...

Why the 3pm k.o. on Saturday v Bath

Of course I'll be at Welford Road on Saturday but lots of fans are annoyed that we are kicking off at the same time as England!! If the game isn't a sell out the Tigers will know why?? Why not k.o at 12.00pm or even 6pm? The earlier k.o. would give Bath fans and early start but at least they could t...

Donkey Corry!

Corry is a donkey all right as he never gets a rest unlike some Waspies who only play part time!!Seriously though, England will never compete with the big guns until we are more creative and choose a fast,mobile back row. This was Tigers downfall against Wasps in HC final. Two players England have n...

Starting 15 for the season

Tom Varndell has to play as we missed his speed and Crofts' skills in the H.Cup Final. Speedsters still frighten teams more than brute force! Keyser will surely start and after Tuesday when England select their squad for the World Cup we might have a couple more players back. It amazes me that Ashto...

Jarrod Cunningham true hero

I was sad to read Jarrod Cunningham(38) had sadly passed away after a heroic fight against his illness. I remember him playing well for London Irish against Tigers. He did lots of work for charity particularly in the last few years of his life back in New Zealand.

Mauger not in the World Cup squad?

Am I right but I saw the All Blacks' squad for the World Cup yesterday but couldn't find Mauger's name? Looking forward to the new season especially EDF Cup as we are in a tough group-it's almost as good a group as the European Cup and I'd love to see us retain this particularly as the prize money f...

Never mind the backs during WC,the forwards are my concern!

Can't argue with the selection of the backs and I don't think this is a major concern. The forwards-hm, well now that is a worry! Have we got a decent pack left? Short on props and hookers, second row too, (I don't rate Finnegan-5 years ago great but not now), then if Croft gets in the WC squad the ...

Get behind the team against Bristol

Whether we agree with the play offs or not they are here to stay so let's get behind this team of terrific Tigers, against Bristol first, then hopefully in the 2 finals. The remaining games will be extremely hard. Hilly will order his team to rough us up and we know what Wasps did to us before in a ...

Everyone complain to ERC. I have

Having just got home and heard the news I got straight on the phone to the ERC-00353 1 676926 and complained. We all need to moan to everyone, Sky Sports included. No wonder the clubs want control if this is the shabby treatment genuine fans get. So much for the programme notes in this Saturday's pr...

Burke has been great

Burke has given his all for this club-has everyone forgotten the last ditch tackle v Bath at home and in the EDF semi-final he was one of the few who successfully tackled Chabel. He has been good back up for Goode and so get off his back-think of King Carlos at Northampton-supposed to be a great yet...
