A team v Falcons @1pm Loughborough

[Hot_Charlie]

Reffell has looked good when in the first team.

Injury to Hardwick sounds worrying. Hope he's ok.

It didn’t look good.

Where’s Bitirim from? Haven’t seen his name in the academy. He looked useful.

TV was unlucky too. He had a perfectly good try ruled out in the first half.

Bitirim is at Coventry, formerly Loughborough Students. Don't know if it's just filling the squad out or a bit of a trial.

Either way, for the most part he looked pretty decent.

We are getting another pasting, but great to see TV on the score board. Still has a bit of gas.

If all you can do to score a try is run in a straight line with no defenders to beat then the only way that will continue to happen is if you have serious gas. Insufficient gas = no tries.

Thought Mapalangi played really well , Varndell took his chances and looked fit, freddie Steward played well when he came on as did George Martin . Pack was bullied a bit - good game though . Best bit was standing behind the dugout listening to Boris - a very entertaining man !

I’ve always been a massive fan of Mapapalangi but I find that he needs to variate his ballcarrying technique a lot more and his tackling needs significant improvement but I do believe Tigers will reap the rewards in time if they hold onto him.

Mapapalangi can be in the Nakawara style lock if Tigers develop him in that position. Definitely has potential if he’s willing to put the time in. Very raw at the moment and is prone to lapses in concentration.

Agreed.
