Mystery Explained

Post by TomWeston »

“At Leicester, I played a certain way for the team. I looked after the ball and carried it a lot without offloading or moving the ball or anything like that. ”

Guess who?

One of the most overrated players to ever wear a Tigers shirt. How he ever got in an England squad I’ll never know.

Scored the 'winning' try in the 2009 Prem final too.

A very good player: gave his all ; scored the winning try v Irish to win the Premiership Final; excellent under the high ball; very good in defence and stats don’t lie; often high up in stats for Premiership Number 8s and last season got the Man of The Match on numerous occasions. Thanks Craney for all you gave to Tigers and just remind people who moan about you, about the finals you played in along with a couple of winners’ medals- more than the present forwards can boast!

Playing in the style he did, week in week out, undoubtedly under team orders, and certainly aware of the comments on here about him, you (collective) surely have to see him as a Tiger who gave his all for the team.

Chapeau!

Will always have a lot of time for Jordan, always gave his all, and always played for the club and put it ahead of most other things, something a few world class players that everyone raves about could do with looking at times.

One of the most inaccurate and unjustified posts I’ve ever read on this forum.

I agree with it,"gainline" Crane I used to call him because he never got over it! How many top AP clubs past and present would he have got into it?
