During the offseason Tigers must practise lineouts till the cows come home.

As do all teams but different when it comes to a match scenario.

I don't believe we have had a real "lineout guru" since the departure of Geoff Parling and therein lies the problem.

Lot of truth in that - hopefully will be sorted after 6N? Until then, there's enough 'nous' in the current forwards coaching set-up plus some very smart players who can sort it out now things are not being "over complicated" (as one Antipodean put it to me the other day!)

I understand your point, and Tigers can train with Nottingham every so often to make the competition at least half-reflective of a match scenario but continuity is something that is lack and repetition will go along way to prove that. I’m sure Borthwick will work on these areas.

But wasn’t that one of the reasons given for signing Green

Adam Whitty clearly hit a nerve by highlighting the number of crooked throws.

T.Youngs didn't handle it well and sounded ultra-defensive over something that can't be disputed - the lineout has been a mess.

I hope they're more honest with themselves in the team meetings.

Last weekend, I counted 3 lineouts that went astray, and there seemed to be a lot of them. I don't call that too bad.

Of course, it could be that I can't count past 3.....

Thanks CrumblingTerrace you seem to be the only one who got my point, maybe i did'nt make my point clear enough which was about Tom Youngs reaction to the question from Adam Whitty and not about the total mess our lineouts are, and wondering if he gives the same reaction at team meetings, and if he does then it's no suprise it has not been resolved.
A poor response from a team captain.
