Black Lions fixture
Now confirmed for Friday May 3rd 7.30 pm kick off against a Tigers XV
I’m assuming this is the European semi final weekend and falls between the Bristol and Sale games

Re: Black Lions fixture
I hope we take this relatively seriously. No need to risk the key players, or anyone with a high workload, but a game vs a roughly 2nd choice side would be really competitive.

Re: Black Lions fixture
Will be interesting to see how he is received. I’m not convinced he’s as popular in these parts as some would have you believe

The Scarlets found them competitive that's for certain.Darc Tiger wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2024 11:45 am I hope we take this relatively seriously. No need to risk the key players, or anyone with a high workload, but a game vs a roughly 2nd choice side would be really competitive.
To win is not as important as playing with style!
Re: Black Lions fixture
Totally agree, we haven't really done this this season but I'm always in favour of a mixed side in a Prem Cup or Friendly. You learn SO much more from 5 or 6 young players when in a team of senior pros than putting out a total youthful XV.Darc Tiger wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2024 11:45 am I hope we take this relatively seriously.

Goooooodeeeeeyyyyy!
Re: Black Lions fixture
To me he'll always be the legend I saw running down the right wing in slow motion against West Hartlepool! Great player, great manager. Tigers Legend. Fair enough it ended badly, but theres too much good to be mared by the end. IMO.Rugbygramps wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2024 11:48 amWill be interesting to see how he is received.

Re: Black Lions fixture
He is Tigers rock cut him in half and Tigers runs through him, called a spade a spade and did not indulge in all the tiresome spin and squad secrecy. That is what did for him as well as the players who its whispered shafted him.ads wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2024 2:58 pmTo me he'll always be the legend I saw running down the right wing in slow motion against West Hartlepool!

Re: Black Lions fixture
His man management style was similar to that, allegedly, of Christian Horner at Red Bull. This was all around the time that employees were becoming more aware of their rights in the workplace, and bullying was no longer acceptable.sapajo wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2024 4:00 pmHe is Tigers rock cut him in half and Tigers runs through him, called a spade a spade and did not indulge in all the tiresome spin and squad secrecy.

It was more his failure to adapt that did for him.
Achieved a lot as a player and a coach for Tigers
Re: Black Lions fixture
Don’t tell John the Griff cockers is not popular otherwise he’ll rip you a new one.

Re: Black Lions fixture
The we will sort it out @ Oval Park & Manu will be fit next week became rather boring in the end.
When he became the genuine top of the coaching tree he couldn't/wouldn’t see past the next game.
The above doesn't or shouldn't cloud his achievements as a player & coach, much like we should all split GM the player from GM the coach (although the academy renaissance was on his watch).

Re: Black Lions fixture
Hard not to have a lot of love for Cockers, as a Tigers fan. He wasn't/isn't perfect, but neither am I so I'll focus on his positives and achievements, of which there were many.
A Tigers great.
