Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2022
Just had a scroll through the Bath squad list and I'd be surprised if they are spending more than us next season. Take out Russell, and your not left with many big money players. Even the likes of Underhill and Cokanasiga are surely not on huge money given their injury problems. Similarly to us, a l...

See England v Ireland for what can happen. Same narrative pre-game, surprising result.
Not saying it will happen, but it can.

Re: Leinster mind games begin? - Champions Cup (A) - Saturday 06th April 2024 - KO:8:00pm
I know I am in a minority of one but I really do believe that we do have a chance to win this game. Not a great chance but a chance nevertheless. We have gone into games in the past - written off before the whistle has even started the 80 mins and we have won. On my Superbru forecast I will be sayi...

Re: JVP
It amazes me that a 29 year old scrum half who still cannot box kick properly is miraculously somehow now better than the most capped England player in history. I'm no fan of BY but at least he can box kick properly which is a very basic and essential skill of any scrum half. If anyone is deluded e...

Re: JVP
I'm not sure whether I'm more baffled or amused about the criticism of our third choice scrum half, who probably earns less than the deputy manager of your local Tesco. Whiteley consistently puts in 100% and performs to a higher level than many third choice 9's in the league. Do some of you people ...

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester (H) - Premiership - Friday 22nd March 2024 - KO:19.45
We need to win all our remaining League games. With the players at our disposal, its down to the Coach ........ 64000$ Question is-----------do the players rate him ?? I would hope we have a group of players that will do their best regardless of whether they rate the coach. If not, the bigger probl...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
People talk about Borthwick bringing through young players and McKellar not. It's really not that simple - when Borthwick was here there were a few really good youngsters emerging. Steward, JvP, O Chessum, Martin, Reffell, Heyes. 4 or 5 of those are now bordering on world class. The current crop of...

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester (H) - Premiership - Friday 22nd March 2024 - KO:19.45
The old "we are doomed" brigade out in force as usual, no one seems to allow that we had a team who have not played together for weeks, some players who have not had any rugby at all for weeks ( Youngs, Stewart, Wiese) a late change at 10 and internationals who must be running on fumes (C...

Re: Saracens - Harlequins TMO
There's also the question of whether they've been instructed not to call things that commentators have highlighted?
The TMO sounded like he was very comfortable with his decision to ignore the foul play, and that the rest of the officiating team would agree with him.

Is Scott fit? I'd have him as one of the first names on the team sheet if he is.

Just a thought and I’m not looking for an argument here but has Englands attack moved on maybe because Farrell isn’t there? I would say so. There was an interesting moment in the Sarries v Quins game where Healey highlighted Farrell screaming in the face of a team mate for dropping a difficult pass...

Re: Saracens - Harlequins TMO
I've no problem with the commentary team commenting on incidents, its what they are there for. The problem is that the TMO should be good enough to spot these on their own and not need to commentary team to pick them up for them. We know that some members of the commentary team have got the laws wr...

It was Ben White or JVP in all reality fighting for Ben Youngs back up. No way White would've played 3rd choice behind JVP or Youngs. Whereas Wigglesworth was just wanting a playing contract not a coaching one that Sarries was offering. The Idea that Wigglesworth was the one who pushed White out IM...
