Is the bashing we are getting deserved?
I think not.
Apart from one well talked about incident,we were the best team and we do deserve to be in the final.I've been on:
ESPN
Planet Rugby
And read the papers,i can't believe the bashing we are getting.
And some of the replies people are giving are terrible!!

Nobody likes us, and we don't care!
Re: Is the bashing we are getting deserved?
Tigers are getting the bashing because of who they are. Leicester Tigers.You know that cheating dirty team who everyone loves to hate and are jealous of because of their success.
I think the Tiger bashing from supporters of other clubs need to look at a few of their own players before they make comment on ours. I mean Danny Grewcock is an angel is he as is Butch James, oh and I forgot Dylan Hartley (to name but a few) is a saint and would never do anything wrong would he?
So I suppose it is deserved in the eye of other supporters but that is because they are jealous and wish their club was as successful as Tigers

Re: Is the bashing we are getting deserved?
Short answer...Yes.
Re: Is the bashing we are getting deserved?
It was a shocking incident in anyones book and if it had happened to us we would be up in arms about it...brace yourself for a long suspension....could be anything between 8 and 16 weeks in my opinion...

Explain your answer then?? Without mentioning Manu.tig1 wrote:Short answer...Yes.

Re: Is the bashing we are getting deserved?
Yes from me too!
Possible citings for Manu, Flood (punching a player on the ground), Cockerill and O'Connor (for abusing officials).
Nothing there to be proud of!.

Julian White got two weeks suspension for punching Sheridan in 2009.
He was provoked but has previous convictions.
There wasn't all this fuss then. Maybe puts it in perspective.

Bring back the rolling maul...and they did
Re: Is the bashing we are getting deserved?
Manu will get along ban and will be deserved. Just makes me laugh that supporters of other clubs are making such a fuss when they have worse offenders in their team.

Re: Is the bashing we are getting deserved?
not wishing to stir up the argument but you get criticism because of incidents like that and everyone remembers what Neil Back did, for me that was still a tainted European cup win.
You wouldn't get bashed as much if incidents like this were avoided. I accept that the linesman not sending tuilagi off was nothing to do with tigers but you should have been down to 14 men and i doubt from then you'd have made the final so most of us Saints feel you don't deserve to be there. Your opinino of deserving to be there gets you further bashing.
Whilst I accept Dylan Hartley was very bad in the past, he has improved his discipline a lot (except for that Toby Flood incident). Look how Castro tried to wind him up in front of the ref and he took it.

Short answer - No!
Saints arrived with a game plan to physically intimidate where they perceived Tigers to be vulnerable. Tigers responded to this physical intimidation. And won the match.
The penalty count was actually quite low.

Still keeping the faith!

Re: Is the bashing we are getting deserved?
Yes Manu deserves another chance but he still should have been sent off and its therefore very unlikely you'd have made the final.Darc Tiger wrote:Then give young Manu a chance to do the same.northamptontillidie wrote:Whilst I accept Dylan Hartley was very bad in the past, he has improved his discipline a lot (except for that Toby Flood incident).
