Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
Jeeez, that was an embarrassing and inept England performance. Who was there for on field leadership and to shake up the team at half time when the writing was clearly on the wall? Should George be captain ? I remain convinced that the balance of the back row is completely wrong. Earl, a fine playe...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - Crocodile McKeller: Men at Work
Liebenberg has been tried at 8 and he lacks the dynamism. He's an out and out 6 in my opinion, perfectly suited to that role. Please leave him there! I disagree. I think Liebenburg has been decent at 8 for us. Before this season he's generally been the back up option behind first Taufua and then We...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - Crocodile McKeller: Men at Work
Moving positions is rare once a player gets to the level that Steward or Martin have. Tom Youngs was after failing to make it as a centre. That said, a 4/6 moving to 8 is not bonkers, and a lot easier than centre to hooker - there isn't much technical difference, or a specific skill that one has and...

Re: Next seasons season ticket
If people are happy to pay for all that while not being there then more power to them ,your comparison is way off too I’m afraid ,posters are talking about paying for things they are not getting to support a multi million pound business so your analogy doesn’t work at all. If Saints rang you, Scott...

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
The difference between the two teams was a couple of poor passes by England, why rip everything up? Lawrence is pretty clearly the best option at 12 in my opinion, even though he didn't have a good one today - although Ford's passing to him was not entirely helpful. England's biggest problem for me ...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - Crocodile McKeller: Men at Work
Richardson is 28 next month and I'm not sure he's done anything to suggest he'll ever be 1st or 2nd choice in the Premiership. I think he was signed as 4th choice and I'm not sure he's likely to progress from there. If Hoyt is deemed not ready to take 4th spot, or it's decided he will benefit more f...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - Crocodile McKeller: Men at Work
From what I've seen, Hoyt looks a better bet to be 4th choice than Richardson. Not sure where this bandwagon to allow Richardson to leave has come from? Last time he played, for 80 mins, he was roundly praised. He’s still young by tighthead standards, and has plenty of years in him. I’d be looking ...

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
Scotland won’t have to worry about kicking long, just run it back in the direction of Daly! The blitz effectively means that Scotland will know to have their wide men deeper to combat this so once Slade’s rush has been negated by taking it deeper the option of running down Daly’s channel on the win...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - Crocodile McKeller: Men at Work
I'm not convinced by the theory of signing a big carrying lock to replace Wiese's contribution. Unless you're going to drop/move Martin or Chessum, the big carrying lock will be on the bench, so how is he going to replace Wiese's contribution? You've then also got Henderson and Wells who would be p...

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
Isn't being a secondary playmaker what Slade is for? Not if you've seen what he offered the last two weeks. Slade is leading the blitz defence, Chiefs have implemented something similar so it makes sense. Russell likes to kick long and look to move the opposition backfield around. He'll kick crossf...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - Crocodile McKeller: Men at Work
I would be very disappointed to lose Wells, I doubt he's on a huge salary, he does a good job as backup lock, and his attitude and work rate set a brilliant example for the kids. Chessum and Martin will hopefully be our starting locks for the next decade, which one are we dropping to make room for t...

Re: Formerly of this parish
Last time I watched Force play was when Olowofela was there. Sounds like they haven't improved since then. Tough gig for Potter!
