Never thought I would say this, being another generally happy clapper, but the current coaching team need ousting asap (bar Boris). I sincerely hope we do have Borthwick coming and I hope he is given free reign to create a decent coaching team.

Love Geordan as a player and Tigers legend, but I can't see anything other than relegation if he is anywhere near the squad and coaching.

Very sad day. :smt009

Well, I have no longer have any idea what even mediocre performance looks like. Never mind excellent. Murphy has been in charge for 31 games, W9, L22. 4 of the 9 victories came in his first 7 matches. Tigers have won 3 of the last 16, 5 of the last 24. Meaning Tigers were relatively more successful, unbelievably, whilst some collective trace of O’Connor’s 'regime' remained with them.

It would be really interesting for the club to give supporters a steer on what success will look like this year. If it is simply to avoid relegation, so be it. It would just be nice to have expectations managed.

Failed HIA which is a bit alarming as he’s had a few of those recently.

Okay so my posts about ringing the death knell and absolutely diabolical were taking the mick a bit but we should never had played Taufua from the off, if anything really summed up the idiocy by the coaching staff.

He has played too much rugby this season as it is, should have slowly embedded him in not just thrown him into the deep end and this is what we get, concussion!

Yes but its utter fantasy with this coaching set up.

Why?
chucking a new signing in after a weeks worth of training without knowing all the calls etc.

That's what you get when you sign players from New Zealand who want to continue to play another tournament immediately post the end of the super rugby season.

The executive of the club who are responsible for the coaching appointments must take responsibility. Papering over the cracks has resulted in our demise. BoD long past their sale by date.

Incredibly, we had more than 60% possession and territory!
