Re: Race for the top 4.

Saints 54pts Bath 49 Sarries 47 Bristol 45 Quins 44 Sale 42 Exeter 40 Tigers 39 So now it's out of our hands. x3 5-0 wins ensures us 5th place, but still highly likely to be 4th place... Question is are we capable of getting 15 points from our last 3 games, our form at the moment says virtually def...

Re: Tigers v Saints (A) - Premiership - Saturday 20th April 2024 - KO: 15-05

I may have missed the posters who (I probably missed it when skipping the bickering) congratulated Northampton not only on the win and the manner in which they play the game, but also that they have built a winning team without any big name signings and by using an ex-player as head coach. They are...

Re: Tigers v Saints (A) - Premiership - Saturday 20th April 2024 - KO: 15-05

I may have got this wrong but in the season under SB when we won the championship didn’t SB say almost word for word what DM is saying? “The focus is now on performance in the next game, where we end up depends on how successful we are with our performance “. It is an easy cliche to espouse. Actual...

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

I have often posted that Tigers lack genuine pace and a ball carrying threat. I thought we solved that issue signing OHC and Watson not to mention Wiese. Strikes me that OHC as has been widely muted is a different player from when he was at Irish, Watson is still long term injured and Wiese is off. ...

Re: Tigers v Saints (A) - Premiership - Saturday 20th April 2024 - KO: 15-05

From this point on in the season I'm not really worried about the playoffs either. We need to be focusing on fixing the things that are going wrong. Fair point your are entitled to express your opinion I think his point was right that they couldn’t focus on the playoffs they have to focus on the pe...

No matter how you spin it the words ""I'm not worried about the play-offs" as well as other reported quotations came from Mckellar. His complete sentence ""I'm not really worried about the play-offs, I just want to worry about our performance." does not magically make ...

You quoted literally half the sentence didn't even bother to put an ellipsis at the end. I precisely quoted what BBC Radio Leicester reported on X so do yourself a favour and actually click on the link I posted and you will actually read what they reported in full. As for only quoting half the sent...

I mean he is right you deliberately avoided the context on purpose. You couldn't even be bothered to quote the whole sentence. Focusing on one performances and one game at a time is prob what he should be doing. I dont know what your on but your talking rhubarb and need to read what I actually post...

What he actually said was that he was more worried about the standard of performance. Context is everything I merely stated what BBC Radio Leicester tweeted Mckellar actually said ! https://twitter.com/BBCRLSport/status/1781728552762667343 So who is telling porkies? Because I am demonstrably not! I...

Re: Tigers v Saints (A) - Premiership - Saturday 20th April 2024 - KO: 15-05

Apologies in advance if what I am about to say upsets anyone. I have heard management and coaches say things like "keeping the Tigers DNA" in how we play....strong scrum, powerful forwards, driving mauls. In fact I think AP even said DMK was hired partly because he would keep this "T...

Re: Tigers v Saints (A) - Premiership - Saturday 20th April 2024 - KO: 15-05

I said nothing for fear of being called miserable but I thought the coaches beneath DMK were not top notch when they were announced - ie Dickens and the fitness guy. I know it’s hard to compare with Aled, but he’s so far off and we similarly look so far off. I also feel we recruited poorly when the...

Does anybody know what happened to all the cash we received from the RFU for poaching Borthwick and Sinfield?
