Re: Tigers v Newcastle (A) - Premiership - Friday 29th March 2024 - KO: 19-45
It is frustrating that a handful of teams provide the England players and are disadvantaged by both the world Cup and the 6N. Play the 6N on consecutive weekends and reduce the number of teams at the world cup. Or have a system that means that sides providing England players. Perhaps that sides with...

Re: Saudi Arabia in talks to buy stake in Tigers
Sponsorship or loan with no expectation or obligation to repay are effectively the same thing in terms of cash flow but. One appears as income, the other doesn’t. If you make a loss you won’t pay tax on profits. If the sponsor loans the money and then subsequently writes it off as a loss, the tax po...

Re: Tigers v Newcastle (A) - Premiership - Friday 29th March 2024 - KO: 19-45
Agree our backs seem to have no structure in attack.
Using Kata as the crash ball every time is as predictable as Cockers “Chuck it to Manu” but less effective. The initial boshing should be role of the forwards, but it’s not happening.

Re: JVP
And Player of the Match tonight. Yes well deserved but I believe he was pulled off too early, ( had we not had Leinster next week) as he got the line moving and Whitely was caught several times & penalised. JVP to start v Leinster and Lenny on the bench. Whiteley is a liability he costs us more...

Re: JVP
He certainly showed why we will lose him to England again!
Serious gas and an eye for space.
It's what we do outside him and Pollard. No structure or offloading.

Re: Tigers v Newcastle (A) - Premiership - Friday 29th March 2024 - KO: 19-45
The absence of an attack coach is all too apparent. Beyond a rolling maul and Pollard’s cross field kicks have we seen any consistent attacking theme? One decent run, passing along the line for OH-C try, absolutely nothing. Is our attack coach situation resolved? If not we need to bring someone in u...

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester (H) - Premiership - Friday 22nd March 2024 - KO:19.45
Sounds a bit like the Cockers/O’Connor era.
Let’s hope we don’t slip back into the risk averse team that stifles attack and plays mediocre Kolpak journeymen because it’s safer than giving youngsters an opportunity.

Re: Saracens - Harlequins TMO
The TMO should not get commentary. Secondly the TV screens at the grounds should only show the main screen live feed unless asked to show something to the ref by the TMO. The TMO system at international level perhaps needs it’s own equivalent of the producers/directors room where an independent team...

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester (H) - Premiership - Friday 22nd March 2024 - KO:19.45
I suspect shipping points and lack of attack are linked. If your only means of getting the ball up the field is to kick it to the opposition you will give them the opportunity to keep the ball and attack you. Points tend to be scored by the stacking side. Our attack seemed only to be the rolling mau...

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester (H) - Premiership - Friday 22nd March 2024 - KO:19.45
I hope there was a bug to explain it as the level of fitness as poor. Cronin looked liked he’d spent the break in a pie shop. However most of the players seemed lethargic. Too much time off and not enough conditioning in that time. Why was Reffell playing? 7 in a side as under the cosh as Wales were...

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester (H) - Premiership - Friday 22nd March 2024 - KO:19.45
Playing like that was inexcusable. The internationals looked tired, Reffell knackered. As for the rest, they looked like they were in a pre season friendly. Touch rugby in the midfield defence. Go wide without committing the tackler... Wiese awol for most of the game. Youngs played like he had alrea...

Re: International Eligibility
I would have thought that the Kolpak agreement should have ended with Brexit. Otherwise, to get a work permit players would have to demonstrate being of international standard to qualify. For me there are too many good but not outstanding Kolpak players in the league. Are average players raising the...

Re: Tigers v Gloucester - Premiership Cup Final - Friday 15th March 2024 - KO:7-45pm
All we can say is that sides who provide international players get penalised in this tournament. Gloucester had nearly a full squad to select from Tigers had a host of players missing because they are current internationals or former international players tied by the World Cup. I ignore injury absen...

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
Couple of thoughts.
Is George ideal as captain. Doesn't go the whole game?
It's daft to have Smith covering full back. Not big enough- height or power.
Daly does not cut it.
Where are the other props?
