Re: Tigers vs Ulster
Agree although I would be amazed if Deacon didn't start in the second row. If Kitchener is fit I'd expect to see him on the bench with Mafi in the squad ahead of Waldrom. I'd also put Hawkins on the bench ahead of Briggs, although if Youngs.T is unavailable Briggs should start IMO.os99 wrote:I would go for:

Re: Tigers vs Ulster
I would start Thompstone ahead of Morris who is pretty ineffective at the moment.

Re: Tigers vs Ulster
Morris has been a little quiet of late, however based on the game in Ire in Nov Ulster will test out our back with plenty of high balls. Morris is a certain starter against Ulster.
I just hope Genova is having a good day .... makes all his tackles and manages to catch what's thrown at him.

Re: Tigers vs Ulster
Morris will start he may not be playing 100% but he is solid under the high balls and a secure tackler, Ulster Love to kick. Mainly Cross field kicks.Guinness&Nuts wrote:Morris has been a little quiet of late, however based on the game in Ire in Nov Ulster will test out our back with plenty of high balls.

Goneva imo will play much better with Allen next to him for the game.
Remember how well he played against Worcs and Bath away with Allen next to him, then it started to go south when Allen got injured.

Re: Tigers vs Ulster
I'm certain of my teams abilities Darco but unfortunately we have hit a poorish run of form.Darc Tiger wrote:Baggy Trousers seemed pretty sure of his teams abilities on here before their match yesterday.
I had been super-confident of turning Tigers over at Welford Road if we had close to full strength, so booked hotels flights etc back in October.
I try to be a realist and my feeling currently is that we have a better team but are not playing well enough at present to overcome away status unless we improve hugely on recent games.
How's that? Arrogant? Or just one man's opinion.

Re: Tigers vs Ulster
Sounds like from the Ulster board we need to maul up, If thst id the case I would start Crane and prob Deacon.
This will be a very tough close game.

Whatever you do, don't argue. We might never hear from you again.
Re: Tigers vs Ulster
Greeting Tigger fans and i come in peace, looking forward to this game and can`t wait to get back to Welford Road again, Gonna be a close game and unlike the Ulster of old this will be a harder nut to crack (IF they bring their "A" game), Unfortunately that is a bit of an issue recently but i believe the motivation is there. beating the red coats is always a good motivator for us Irishers
I'm so happy I feel like bouncing!

Re: Tigers vs Ulster
I will probably regret this come Saturday night BUT, I'm amazed by the faith many of you display in Ant A.
Admittedly I no longer see much PRL rugby given the switch to BT, however I've always regarded him as highly flakey and at times a liability. Have I been watching the wrong man?
By the way, in case you are concerned that this is the start of a boring assault on your team, it's not, I've nothing to say in similar vein about any others.
That has probably guaranteed he will be magnificent.

Yes, seems like you have!Baggy Trousers wrote: Admittedly I no longer see much PRL rugby given the switch to BT, however I've always regarded him as highly flakey and at times a liability. Have I been watching the wrong man?
Of all the words to describe Allen flakey and liability are probably the least likely to be said by anyone on this forum, whether they're a fan of him or not!

Perhaps you are confusing him with Lamb?Baggy Trousers wrote:I will probably regret this come Saturday night BUT, I'm amazed by the faith many of you display in Ant A.
