Not a bad lineup is it 😬. Wonder how many of them will stick when their mortgages suddenly become 5x more expensive.

Apparantly the only bit of good news for Tigers fans this weekend -or next-- will be finding out that we cant get relegated as Sarries will be docked 30+ points, to be announced as soon as the RWC concludes...

I think most of us are after a World Cup final, a decent showing from our lads AND a massive points deduction for Accountancy RUFC.

The last three post on this subject are so vindictive, jealous and nasty against a team who haven't yet been proved guilty, we have some very sad posters on this board who have no idea of the rugby world outside of Leicester Tigers, I'm quite prepared for the nasty comments that will follow my post.

I do of course apologise profusely if I have offended anybody, but surely there has to be some sort of threshold for the light ribbing of the opposition? Folk around here call Saint Stains and Wasps Pests without any particular furore.

Saracens team looks quite useful, if Tigers kick like they did again Worcester they will get eviscerated.

For all their absentees they do look a settled team - if we get anything out of this I shall be relieved .

Our kicking has been an issue for as long as I can remember.

Ah how I would love to see the Goody & Moody kick chase combo again.
Nowadays referees decide matches, players by how much.

I thought there was no relegation this year with 1 team being added to the league.
Patience will be needed with a Tigers this season but I also believe Geordan must sort out when and when not to kick. Last week we could have won had we played anything like we did v Saints. The interception try v Saints was unlucky as had we not turned the ball over there was a huge overlap to most likely score and put the game beyond Saints. Geordan then made changes again at a defensive line out from which Saints scored due to us having players trying to get into position as the lineout took place.
This is the basic coaching errors that need sorting.
No doubt I’ll be shouting myself hoarse tomorrow hoping us fans can make a difference.

The last two games might have finished v differently with accurate kicking. Just hope we score an avalanche of tries tomorrow so it doesn’t matter... :smt003

With Moodys approach to chasing high balls he would have spent a lot of time in the bin

Looking at Glaws today I reckon that we stand a better chance of getting something from the Sarries game than the Glaws game on Nov 2.
Glaws seem to have a strong , well organised squad with hardly anyone missing apart from Mostert . I guess the only new addition for us that week will be Lavinni - good as he is - will that be enough.
