Nice to see Moroni back at Welford Rd - did well for us.
A shame we let him go..
Hoping ,of course ,for the win.

Seemingly heading rapidly toward senility .....Not long or far to go now , in fact, getting worse daily.....

Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Newcastle will be well motivated for this game after their thrashing at our hands in the Premiership Cup.
If we go out expecting to win then things will be tough.
Time to see if this team has what it takes to get in the top 4 and be ruthless for 80 minutes.
Come on Tigers.
Hope we are going to make a lot more noise than we have been doing!
It might just be me but even the Saints game was quieter than usual!
Quins’ supporters really cheering their team to an impressive win.

I hope they're right. But what was the prediction for Quins v Sale? "Sharks to win by 5"TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Fri Dec 01, 2023 8:34 pmWell Prem Rugby's official prediction has the predicted margin as 31 points

I watched him play for falcons last weekend and spoke to him at the end and said we all miss him at tigers and he gave me a hand shake and thanked me! Seems like a lovely bloke shame we couldn’t keep him!

Marino is certainly a good player but I am not sure he is better than Porter, Scott or Kelly. I am reasonably happy with our current options in the centre although I do think we are still a game of two away from performing at our best.

I would say that Moroni is better than any of our centres as he is good in defence and attack IMO.johnthegriff wrote: ↑Sat Dec 02, 2023 10:53 am Marino is certainly a good player but I am not sure he is better than Porter, Scott or Kelly.

I think we see how much Moroni is missed in the bigger games, e.g. Leinster and Sale last year.
I am happy with what we've got (if they can return to form) but for me Moroni has a bit extra, particularly in defence.

I would say he was. During RWC and since I don’t think so. He is also playing 12 which I don’t think is his most effective positionay2oh wrote: ↑Sat Dec 02, 2023 12:02 pmI would say that Moroni is better than any of our centres as he is good in defence and attack IMO.johnthegriff wrote: ↑Sat Dec 02, 2023 10:53 am Marino is certainly a good player but I am not sure he is better than Porter, Scott or Kelly.

Not sure he’s as good as he was but at one stage arguably the worlds best defensive 13. Reads the game incredibly well and always seems to have time on the ball. I think Scott is our best all round centre. Kelly and Porter have fell off a cliff form wise

Didn't Potter play at 13 Vs Leinster we had so few fit centres? Kelly not long back to fitness.
Sale we lost due to some really poor kicking in the second half. Wigglesworth stacked the starting line up with experience and we finished with a lot of youth on the pitch and that cost us. If Pollard was fit we'd have won that game at a canter.

Looking at the table, I think we could really do with 5 points today.
