Tigers vs. Ospreys (Friday Night Lights)

[sam16111986]

The academy 10 and captain from last season Olly Bryant pulled out of the JP Morgan 7s with an injury. Don't think he's played so far this season. Williams needs game time anyway.

that's true but if Williams gets injured we're having to shift Mele there and play Harrison until the England boys are back.

on this line of thought how much longer does Lamb have on the treatment table

England have two games remaining we have two LV games. Flood will be back by the time the AP returns.

Noticed the fireworks that got canned last Sat are being done tonight. Let's hope there are fireworks on the pitch aswell.

Not many opiinions as to whether we can win tonight, i dont know much about the opposition, how do we rate against these players?

[Darc Tiger]

Ospreys under strength. A light sprinkling of experience, but mostly youngsters. We SHOULD have the beating of them. But who knows after the last few weeks.

[LE18]

We do have a bit of experience in there so hope the established players can inspire our younger element, looking forward to seeing the centre pairing, hope we can win.

The rearranged Fireworks + drizzle = Damp Squib!
And talking of that please do not let Louis Deacon on the pitch even as waterboy as he is bound to be the demotivating factor.
Good Luck Tigers !!!!

Big screen in the corner tonight........great view from the terrace....good ol' SKY

[TomWeston]

Why no yellow for the high tackle on Sam Harrison?

Or for persistent infringements.

[Bill W (2)]

Well done lads!!

[tigercaspian]

Absolutely with Bill W....top notch stuff. Young guns give big hope for the future.
And after all the injuries are repaired and the England guys back, we will be unbeatable !!!!
Off to the pub to celebrate!

In the end a good win and a well deserved MOTM for Thacker.
The forwards worked very hard and subdued a lively Ospreys pack, just need a little more control and teamwork.

The backs looked fine at times but were playing the wrong part of the field too often.

I find Owen Williams infuriating at times, he misses easy kicks and then nails the difficult ones, try some clever chip but then drops a simple pass. Lies deep but does not use his kicking game. Can't help but think he needs an experienced inside centre to guide him.

Thoroughly agree - he seems to want to play an attacking game from deep, which is silly. Tonight's centres looked good but Williams did make life difficult for them and they always ended up trying to get back to a gainline that was 15 metres or so ahead of them by the time they received the ball.

Very happy with that team performance. Nice to be on the right end of an LV Cup thumping!
