Leicester Tigers Ultras - Matt To'omua

[trendylfj]

We have had a wonderful couple of hours chatting Matt To'omua who joined the group and answered every question asked of him. When I met him in the Castres team hotel and had selfies taken with him - he was brilliant and he has now gone up further in my estimation. Things he opened up about WR, OP, and some away game were excellent reading as well as the nice things he said about Simon Cohen. TV was also watching his comments - well worth a read

Presumably Toomua waxed lyrical about how committed he'd been to Tigers and how fantastic the supporters were and how he loved running out at Welford Road and how great 'the boys' were, and how great the coaches were. Great memories etc etc etc etc etc. Yawn.

Not really

Traveller you had the opportunity to read it before you commented, shame you did not do so!

Some really interesting comments from Matt, and some funny ones too. Well done to him for doing it!

My comments were based entirely on Matt Toomua when he was a Leicester Tigers player on the basis of what I saw. Always thought he was an astonishing talent, but in terms of delivery and commitment to the cause - well in my opinion - he was poor value, a symbol of all that was wrong with the club. None of which is to say that he isn't an approachable friendly person. No doubt other contributors feel he was excellent value. I do think we are on the right track now and feel very optimistic about the next few years.

Agreed Toomua was quality when he turned up but that was rare as was the number of games he played.

It's on Facebook and not everyone does Facebook, so If anyone who does could copy and paste it here that would be great.

Would never question the ability Matt To'omua possessed as a Rugby player, but.........
Still not to my own personal taste ; mere words can come very easily to some.

Aah, no worries. Cheers.

Says Matt O'Connor is a great coach but was a pure coach and needed off the field support.

Says Cohen did loads for him personally but understands why people wanted him gone.

Fav position 10 but was happy to play 12 as it was best for the team.

Tigers best ground in the world.

Rates Jordon Olowofela.

Was terribly homesick and missed his wife.

No intel on two new coaches incoming but says the fitness guy is top notch.

Says there was a big disconnect before boardroom and players when he was here.

His best comment... someone asked "who is Matt To'omua... his reply: "this has-been that took the club from European Semi finalists to a relegation battle in 3 years. Influential".

Thanks for summarising Ourla.
