Dan Cole Milestone

Post by kk20gb30 »

Could well be 250 appearances for Leicester Tigers by close of play today.
Amazing really , we actually seem to take for granted exactly how good this guy really is.
Another Club legend :

Another in a line of fantastic Tight Heads, Heyes has a lot to live up to & to inspire him.

It will be interesting to see how long Dan wants to play on, he did have nearly 12 months out with the neck injury, to come back from that was remarkable, still the best (playing) English Scrummaging Tighthead.

Great to see Ellis acknowledge how influential - and inspirational - the Sherriff has been to his own development as a loosehead.

Got to say well done to Bondi & the media team getting all those video's together for him.

Personal highlight it Crofty's moment at the end of one of them!

Wonder if any of the England lads will be allowed to cross the road and Watch Coley?

No, not that one!

Remember, whatever you do to the smallest of the backs you do to his prop, and you can't avoid the rucks and mauls forever...

I know you don't like it when I boo him but how else will he know he's wrong?

Agreed. I'm amazed by his longevity after he was flogged by both England and Tigers for a long time.. Pretty much played full 80 minutes for a few seasons for club and Country. Quality player.

Quality player and age appears to be just a number. There's years in him yet. I reckon he can get to 300. Phenomenal servant to the club.

Well played the Colar Bear, i wonder how many minutes Coley has played over the 250 games? certainly way above the average for that amount of games for a TH, utter legend.

The post match interview with Bondi shows what a legend he is & why we need more Bondi output.
