HAS CORRY COST US QUALIFICATION?

thats a ... bonus point [lost] because of indiscipline

Not really. Even with 15 men Leicester never looked like scoring a try in the second half. They didn't have the opportunities. There was nothing to suggest that had Leicester been disciplined and kept a full complement of players, then they would have secured the bonus point.

From my perspective I was on cloud 9 at halftime in the Bourgoin game. We had our stars back and for the first time in ages I felt I was seeing the Tigers 'A' game. By this I mean - the first choice players peforming better as a unit than the sum of the individual performances. With the disjointed nature of the season and the brutal attrition rate amongst players it is clearly very difficult for a club to build the levels of teamwork and co-ordination needed to play a tactically complex game.
In the first half the Tigers did it and I was just so optimistic that it would continue for 80 minutes that it came as a bitter disapointment that the game spluttered in the second half. I can therefore understand people wanting to vent that frustration a bit, after all, to be frustrated you have to care.
The bigger picture is that, the first half performance gives the Tigers a solid standard to work from. The team should take confidence from seeing what they are capable of and use it as a benchmark for games to come. With a bit of luck and a few more performances like the first half then the incidence of critical posts will take a dive.

[quote="Nabuk"]Well I guess that was the sort of response I expected.

I really do feel sad for some of you "blind devotion" IS NOT the same as being a true supporter.

Not blind devotion just being practical. 3 players were carded so to select Corry as the only person in the title of the post is unfair. Has the inability to gain a bonus point cost us qualification -possibly we will not know until after the return games with Bourgoin and Cardiff at Welford Rd. Remember these are both teams probably not going to qualify and likely to be less motivated than Tigers WHO STILL CAN.

The reasoning behind your thread is possibly correct but at the moment the timing isn't

Exactly. I can't believe this point is being missed by most people. Did we ever look like scoring in the second half? no. I can only remember us having the ball twice in their half. Therefore, to blame it on yellow cards is a bit too simplistic.

It is academic if we win all of our remaining games, but if we do lose one of them then the failure to get that 4th try may well cost us dear. In that respect, Nabuk makes a fair point. I do not see that pointing this out is somehow negative or disloyal.

Anyway, on to next week :D

Totally agree, I can see Ospreys and Northampton now qualifying ahead of us.

Although we were robbed by Munster at Welford Road :evil: I still can't see us pulling off a miracle and winning at Munster ... so I'm afraid we had better start taking the Mickey Mouse cup seriously

typically mature response there.
however - we have bourgoin at home (bonus point) and cardiff at home (likely bonus point) whereas ospreys and northhampton both have two away games out of 3 rounds, munster away - if lost with a bonus point should send us through for definite, but alot is riding on the next two games.

What is that about Corry wearing Hush puppies? This is much more serious than I first thought and much worse than being called a cretin.
