Some kind of game plan would also be good :smt002

I really think Tigers should be treating the remaining rounds as a completely fresh table and should be aiming to be in the top half after the 9 rounds. There are no real excuses why we shouldn't be able to perform as well as other teams.

The short turn around will undoubtedly throw up some odd results but every team is in the same boat.

The short turnarounds should give us a reasonable indication on the relative strengths and depth of the squads. Sale first 23 looks strong, Exeter have impressive depth. I'm expecting us to be gnarly and a right pain to play against. Cant wait to see how the remainder of the season goes.

I think it was in Coleys podcast where he said Borthwick was looking to instil some of the qualities of the Leicester teams he remembered playing against, and that was certainly one of them

That's a blow. No Murimurivalu, Nadolo, Moroni or van Wyk takes quite a bit of power and experience out of our backline.

We could bring in Freddie Steward for some height and keep the crossfield option for Fordy otherwise it could be down to the young lads who've just come over from Australia and Owolfela to fill the wing berths.

I think the hard grounds at this time of year would probably quite suit Potter and Porter actually!

Back 3 running on fumes.
Interestingly 3 back rows (1 is a development squad member) on the bench meaning he's cover for the 2nd row too, looks like our back row is being given license to put it all out there and be explosive
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.
