Tigers v Newcastle (A) - Saturday 07th January 2023 - KO 14:00

[kpj tiger]

Tigers have appointed WW as Head Coach but in fact he is just an on the job trainee.

They have appointed him as INTERIM Head Coach because England took our current head coach mid season. You have to understand this and continue to beat the same tired drum.

He’s INTERIM, there was no feasible alternative.

I disagree

Matt O'Connor wasn't an option unfortunately

[Greenwhiteandred]

Yes we do! Conclusively! Out of his depth!

2.5 games one of which we won - not really that conclusive just playing devils advocate

Destroyed by Sale,being outclassed by Newcastke though. Ospreys was one of the worse games I've ever seen too,dire!

Ospreys was SB

[Leicestertinytiger]

Don’t forget we kept Scott instead of Moroni!

suspect Scott was a lot cheaper.

Moroni would have been away on international duty for quite a few matches

Let’s get rid of Montoya and Wiese too then if they’re going to be away. Moroni would’ve be available for this match! If you want quality then you’ll expect them to be away for parts of the season.

[Scott1]

we neither have power nor raw speed in the backs, that really is poor recruitment

Pointless having fast and exciting backs if the pack isn’t giving them clean ball. Our pack has been the issue the past few games, they’ve been neutralised and dominated at times, you need at least parity to win a game

Easily neutralised!

That's even worse, that was the good times!

[Offside]

Cronin needs a slap from the Captain.

[bendy]

None of the pack have turned up today, but Cronin... dear, dear, dear. Get the guy back in the shed.

[kpj tiger]

Interesting Leigh Jones has been in the stands with WW today, not sure I've seen him do that before?

[Scott1]

Yep,WW the man for me!

[Pellsey]

After these ankle injuries on this plaggy pitch, I am glad we did not risk Pollard today...

[baz1664]

Atkinson limping, looked like a late tackle!

[nicmattyg]

Aled Walters is a superb s&c coach, maybe one of the best in the world, is he now more involved in the rugby/technical side of things? Does he have any experience in this?

Doesn’t seem very comfortable when answering questions during the game but that could obviously just be nerves etc.

[sam16111986]

Henderson is looking really good off the bench. Added a lot of energy and impact.

Disappointed Jansen is on but Ilione is still waiting to make his bow.

[kpj tiger]

Jansen has carried really well since coming on, why doesn't he start if Weise isn't fit

[tigercub21]

Annoying else notice that Clare has absolutely no carrying power at all? no matter how far he takes a run up from he’s always stopped on the gain line.
