Give Cockers the job.

[Ian Cant]

What a fantastic job Cockers and his coaches are doing.
The style of rugby Tigers are playing at the moment will have fans rushing to fill the new stadium. Great win yesterday and it could have been by a greater margin. Why on earth is the Tigers' Board interviewing other coaches.? Come on keep it in house and appoint Cockers on Wednesday. Jake White isn't a club coach and if we go for Robinson, well, say no more!!

[Ian Cant]

Come on Tigers'Board stop interviewing other candidates. Cockers is a great club coach. Look at his record of leadership, both periods being during international matches.Brilliant. No international coach can cope with injuries,call ups as people like Jake White are used to having a nation to choose from. I don't think even Sarries wanted him.
Cockerill has to be appointed with the present staff and possibly Austin Healey.
Blokes who really want the job and love the club. No more needs to be said.

I’ve got not complaints on how the Tigers have been playing this season since Cockers have been in charge, unbeaten in 5 games is pretty impressive. Both the players seem happy and the fans. If we get a new coach they may not have experience of club rugby and most certainly will not know as much about the club as Cockers. If 80 something % of fans want to give him a chance, the board will daft not to.

It will be interesting to see if the board have their collective ears to the ground ,or are they up each others collective backsides?
COCKERS FOR HEAD COACH

[Posh Tiger]

Agree Cockers for job - Have to say Meyer was leading us down wrong path - up the jumper, long kicks - players look liberated
I have to say that 2nd half of season ticket has provided lot more entertainment than first
Even if we don't win a trophy forget foriegn coaches keep job in-house (with Cozza helping)

I presume the two Petes' read these forums---everyone spoken to wants Cockerill, they would seriously undermine the supporters who are mostly pretty intelligent people,if they went elsewhere.But one assumes they will keep him on his toes till the seasons' end........

[TTRITH]

The thing is, I think they'll be looking for someone who can work with Cockers and O'Connor and leave them doing the same thing, while the newguy handles contracts, player management etc.

[G.K]

I though Simon Cohen already handled that?

[Minty]

We need to keep the Tigers mentality and appoint from within, use our vast experience - Healey, Corry etc.

i appreciate it didnt work with some people as i heard Back didnt seem to suit coaching, at least at tigers under Lofreda.

I get the feeling Greenwood is set to replace Barnes as i havent seen him for a while on Sky so i doubt he'd leave the comfy studio.

We were playing rugby for fun towards the end of saturdays game. They looked confident and assured Cockerill for coach.

[WiggoTiger]

I feel that the board have someone in mind if we don't succeed this season, otherwise they would have sorted the problems out and given COCKERS the full time job by now.

Appease most fans with this appointment as we are enjoying our rugby again.

I though Simon Cohen already handled that?

He does; and reports to the board on that basis.

I guess TTRITH is referring to a DoR position that would sit between Cockers and Wheeler.

I thought we'd already agreed this!
