Exeter v Tigers - 24th December 2016

[Icarus]

Thank goodness not on TV - I, as a confirmed atheist am listening to 9 lessons and carols from Kings College, Cambridge.

Think we are going to need a miracle or two!!!

[DaveRave]

9 lessons

About as many as are being handed out at Sandy Park.

Who said it was going to be a close match?

Well I am not worrying, surprisingly. What does :censored: me off is the comments on here, my NY resolution will be to give this forum up, and leave it to the doom-mongers. BTW Waldrom was a lazy :censored: when he was here, and had a whole season for Chiefs when he goal-hung. Frankly, go down the M69 and watch whoever you want.

The annoying thing is Exeter are not even playing well.

At least Munster and Glasgow where pretty damn brilliant when they humiliated us, Exeter are just average and getting a lot of calls.

And yet we are 3 tries behind...........................................


We need bulk in the pack, none of this lightweight Locks and backrowers it isn't European rugby (and they are not bringing anything to the park in the backs)

Genge and Williams are the mould we need to aim for agressive and strong. (With Evans providing the skills and technique at 7).

Didn't say I was going down the M69 to watch anything. Just pointing out where the better rugby is being played. As for TTE, he may be an idle assed goal hanger but I believe he's a better 8 than we have at the moment. At the moment we are swinging between mediocrity and incompetence. If we want to get back to where we were much has to be done, and perhaps we could pray for a little better luck. Doom monger? Not me. Realist......And a very annoyed one at that.

Remind me someone, how long is left on Cockerill's contract?

Remind me someone, how long is left on Cockerill's contract?

Hopefully about 4 hours

We've avoided being nilled!
Where was this intensity in the first half?

[RagingBull]

For me Genge is the best signing Tigers have made in the last 5 years, he is a huge presence to have.

[Soggypitch]

Slater literally had to just fall over the line to score and he managed to drop it.

Good pressure this half, deserved try then Williams gets charged down from in front of the posts!! Schoolboy stuff.

Great potential but listening to the match he has been a penalty machine.

Williams conversion charged down by Devoto!

Oh dear. The comeback was short lived.
