I am absolutely astonished that we got away with that!! Lets be honest, how many of us actually think Julian was really set to play against the Classic All Blacks?!

I look forward to the replies of those who vociferously claim that the RFU disciplinary process has an anti-Tigers agenda.

Stunned! - did he use his "get out of jail for free card"?

No doubt he'll land a punch on Florence in the first five minutes and get himself sent off!

Thanks for starting a new thread on this, if you had not I would not have seen it.

I think the threads shown on the main site should include any that have had new postings.

I was set to "watch" the original thread but did not get the usual email.

Could this be that change of fate that could make the difference on Saturday?

Fantastic news and vindication of the Club's dealing of the issue by getting our retaliation in first, though no doubt supporters from other clubs will see it as Tigers bending the rules again, but who cares!

Come on Tigers!! - lets finish the job on Saturday.

what supporters from other clubs think?

tigers played the system with an internal ban on this one and won. other clubs do it too, saints included, and it would be a brave club to take the moral high ground.

does rather fly in the face of the perceived anti - tigers bias, though doesnt it? just 1 week for a stamping offence, guilty plea or not? not as if white hasnt got previous, is it?

less to hide behind if saturday doesnt go well.
