Re: Saracens v Tigers
19-6 with conversion to come. We are some distance behind the top teams. We have to improve for next year or it's going to be another failure of a year.
Re: Saracens v Tigers
Another?
With which season are you referring to be a failure?

Re: Saracens v Tigers
The trouble now is when we do get breached in defence we can't catch up with our Attack.
Re: Saracens v Tigers
This one and last year. Not winning the league has to be considered a failure for a club of our size. Possibly scraping a top 4 place is absolutely a failure. We are being outclassed by a better team again and that's not good enough. We have to improve.ellis9 wrote:Another?

Apologies. I didn't realise this season had finished and the trophy handed out to the Champions.TigerLad wrote:This one and last year.

I am sure my calendar says today is the 11th April; Or does the season now finish on th 11th April?
Re: Saracens v Tigers
Absolutely. And we've come back stronger afterwards. Hopefully we do next year and that's what I'm saying.RagingBull wrote:In which case we have had a fair amount of failures in the past 10/12 years.TigerLad wrote:This one and last year.

Re: Saracens v Tigers
Lots of passion and effort from Tigers today. LBP looking unlikely.

Re: Saracens v Tigers
Being realistic though we are some distance from the better sides ATM. If we can scrap our way through and win then great but it's highly unlikely. All I'm saying is that we've got to improve for next year.ellis9 wrote:Apologies.

Re: Saracens v Tigers
I'm afraid to say you could see this coming. I'm not going to knock the players and coaches for this performance because I believe they do their best every week, but 5 wins have papered over some pretty big cracks. I think this game puts where we are in perspective. I'd still expect us to finish 4th and reach the playoffs but nothing beyond that. Of course people will point to our injuries but Saracens aren't at full strength today and in the modern game you don't get 23 first-team players fit. Of course we'd be better with Manu, Croft and Slater… but if I'm honest we still wouldn't be good enough to beat the top AP teams or get past the last 8 in Europe. I really do see next season as pivotal in terms of where we are going...
My thoughts are with any of our travelling supporters. I was there the other year when they thumped us 40-something and my advice is just get home and down to a decent pub as fast as you can!

Re: Saracens v Tigers
For me the most telling statistic is that only London Welsh have scored fewer tries than Tigers. That to me is a disappointing season ...
