Steve Borthwick

[loretta]

If and only If SB does a remarkable job over the next two seasons, does he jump into EJ shoes in 2023?
Then Tigers are back to the drawing board.
How long has SB signed up for?

I know sport is fickle and only a few are in it for the long (ish) haul and that any one involved as in all walks of life move on.
But I thought Tigers had a mid to long term plan to get us back to the top ? So how does that work?

Seems to be even more questions than answers- don't you think?

For arguments sake, I’ll assume SB does just that. In the 3 intervening years, I expect Tigers will have been a success and we’ll be far more attractive to a good quality coach to take over. If not, SB can jog on and we won’t miss him. Either way, him heading to England wouldn’t be a disaster.

Probably wouldn't worry about it.

Going to take sometime to adjust to him in Tigers Gear.

[sapajo]

I am sure by now that the responsibility of head coach has now rested heavily and firmly on his shoulders. Best wishes to him and I Hope and trust he can begin the mammoth job of finally turning our great clubs fortunes back to winning ways.

Greatest club badge he has ever worn.

Hoping that he will wear a tracksuit and that Smurf will transition to a business suit!

Well, you say welcome. Apparently he wasn't allowed off the M1 and was turned away from the city limits (IAMTU)

I did wonder if something may happen like that. He’d have been better off coming at at Junction 20 and coming down through Blaby

I bet he's chuffed to find he is walking into an even bigger mess than he envisaged.

No May, Tuillagi, Vainu & Taufua.
Most replacents presumably already contracted for next season.

He will reach hero status if he keeps us up next season.

If we can't finish above at least one other side next season I would be amazed.
It might actually be easier to implement a new style of play with players who are more likely to stick to the script.

And if those others have been acting like prima donnas then it may be a lot easier to build a proper team spirit without them?
