For me MOC is not all to blame for this, the back room staff is not up to scratch and has not been addressed, we have been crying out for a quality skills and forwards coach for months, teams like Saracens just shine a massive light on this. I think we all know what the problem is and it’s far deeper than MOC!!

I'm afraid at this point in time we simply aren't a very good side. To put it mildly.

We won't make the playoffs this year. You can't be as error-prone as we are and achieve anything.

The coaching is making the players worse rather than improving them.

I honestly have defaulted to my 2011 position. what made Tigers good then was a generation of good players and a little shouty man making them hard to beat. The rest of the coaching was one-dimensional and substandard. Alas, one of those coaches is now HC. To say we turned down Van Graan or Ackermann for MOC is a sad indictment of the whole of Tigers BoD.

Brought in Stanko and now the scrum looks fine, need another top class coach for rest of forward play.

Do they actually practice taking a restart? Forward driving play is haphazard with players doing their own thing.

Some of the Tigers penalties were so dull, handing possession, territory and points to opposition.

I think Ben Kay summed it up exactly, we create things, but just don't seem to have the ability to look after the ball.

No. It's far worse than that. Carley was awful but the game's gone for me at this level. I want to get back to mud and a decent fist fight. Props changing contact lenses? What? You're a prop. You can't even read

The same thing happened at the Ricoh yesterday at least twice, it's becoing a farce.

Absolutely dire today. Apart from two ten minute spells we made sarries look good. Refereeing was mixed and missed a lot of their cheating. Simply not good enough this season and will be nowhere near silverware.

I know this makes me sound like an old fogey (I'm 35!) but my first thought at FT was that I couldn't imagine any situation in which Johnno would be laughing, joking and hugging with the opposition straight after a defeat at WR.
