Re: Tigers v Chiefs
The manu spat showed some real heart and fight. Really didn’t mind it. Showed a willingness to get stuck in. Thompson strikes me as a simular player along with May. That edge and agression is badly missing. Need more of that or we are off to Rotherham next season.
There is never any points for 2nd place...

Re: Tigers v Chiefs
Just what did Tom Youngs think he was doing? He should most certainly be stripped of the captaincy Where is the discipline a captain needs.
I am pleased that Kerr must be playing next week, as he deserves his place.

Re: Tigers v Chiefs
In Young’s defence the player was falling and he hit him at bad angle. Yes it was dumb but I don’t think he actually meant it. He will get a good 3 game ban i feel. Will admit the offence. Good character and a 5 game ban reduced.Dangerous4 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2019 7:00 pm Just what did Tom Youngs think he was doing?

Re: Tigers v Chiefs
52 points conceded at Welford Road, so much for dry weather rugby.
The red card was deserved and that player has been at risk of it for a while in my opinion.

Re: Tigers v Chiefs
I guess it make the Newcastle game a must must win game. Loser goes down. I think we will turn them over and Bristol and Bath. Some positives from the game...except the score line, defence at times and lack of passion at times!

Re: Tigers v Chiefs
the player was falling yes, he was also rolling away from the breakdown, it was a totally needless action, just plain dumb
Re: Tigers v Chiefs
The Exeter player looked to be rolling away from the breakdown, stupid by Tom Youngs and probably cost Tigers a try bonus point.Dr H Flashman MBE wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2019 7:03 pmIn Young’s defence the player was falling and he hit him at bad angle.

Re: Tigers v Chiefs
I think the commentator (Ben possibly) said Yonngs was committed to it. It was dumb and I am not defending him, but the player rolling away made it look worse.

Re: Tigers v Chiefs
Not only are Tigers getting hammered at home they can't even put up a decent fight, many of the games are effectively over after 20/25 minutes. Noticed many players were smiling and joking afterwards, well they are the ones that are a joke.
Nowadays referees decide matches, players by how much.

He was probably shocked that an Exeter player rolled away.....
Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.
Re: Tigers v Chiefs
The technicalities of the incident aside, I agree with you, why even bother to hit a tackler who is rolling away!Jimmy Skitz wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2019 7:07 pmthe player was falling yes, he was also rolling away from the breakdown, it was a totally needless action, just plain dumb
It's just another Leicester player on the floor and out of the game, pointless stuff, and dangerous!

Re: Tigers v Chiefs
Don't you remember Harry Corbett at the end of the sooty show. Pie on face and absolutely abject?
I can't add to anything I've already said about the team's performances of late. Just support........how does it go? Starts with denial and ends up with acceptance.......I suppose I'm in a new category of supporter.......the apathetic clapper!
