I think the slight anguish being there appears to be no improvement and the fitness levels look miles apart.
There is never any points for 2nd place...

Well said :smt038

Just turned it off in disgust. If you want my support show some .........some.........I don't know....... some basics? Professionalism?

Very poor performance.

More records we don't want this season, and I don't mean the play list in the final whistle...
No, not that one!

Remember, whatever you do to the smallest of the backs you do to his prop, and you can't avoid the rucks and mauls forever...

I know you don't like it when I boo him but how else will he know he's wrong?

The kit is awful but the play even worse. I switched off after 10 minutes, all the possession earnt by tigers was kicked away by either Youngs or Ford. Why recruit new players the play was exactly the same as last season, I cannot Forecast the the score but tigers loose - no tries to how many?

Not necesarrily but he isn't either.
Bar Brodie Retallick I can't think of many especially in the prem, I'd also point out he was smashing people all over in the 1st half, It might also be worth taking into account he's only had one pre-season game to get up to speed too

There has been nothing interesting from Tigers today. Nothing at all. This has been absolute pants pie.

Turned off after 4th try - as said by others fitness levels look poor and a few senior players look disinterested to me so I am starting to get disinterested in this Tigers team.

Absolutely rubbish.

It's almost as though MOC is still a terrible coach even after the summer break.

You can say 'it's just the first game' but we've been absolutely abysmal.

I can't remember a more one sided match. We've offered nothing.

All the money invested in players, we should of hired good coaches instead. Although I doubt Baxter would leave for anything but England.
