Such is the fickle nature of sports fans.

Does that mean that if Dickson ever does a Saints game we can complain because he’s the brother of an ex saints player

Don't think we have ever had much by way of favours from Ridley.

Certainly if anything overcompensates.

Unfortunately this is also my thinking on his refereeing of Tigers' games. I am often very confused with his decisions.

Yep totally agree. While I think he's a decent official he almost tries hard not to seem Tigers-leaning and we come off worse for it!Pellsey wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2024 12:40 pmUnfortunately this is also my thinking on his refereeing of Tigers' games. I am often very confused with his decisions.

Was it not Ridley who gifted us the game at home to Sarries a couple of seasons back with the late penalty try having seconds earlier missed Dan Kelly commit a foul.

30/100 is a 76.9% implied chance and 5/2 is about 28.6%. However them odds are only a firms opinion. Likely Saints will trade at a lot bigger than that on the exchanges when the teams are announced, whereas Tigers the 5/2 could be on the big side when teams are announced which is when the market will properly take shape.Tiglon wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 8:53 pmSaints at 3/10 and Tigers at 5/2 means bookies have 35% chance Tigers win, 65% chance Saints win.
That's not long odds at all. It's saying that if the match is played 100 times, Tigers win it 35 times. Saints favourites, but still very possible that Tigers win.
Saracens are 1/20 to beat Glouc. That's long odds.
Bristol are 1/40 to beat Newcastle. That's very long odds.
Re: Tigers v Saints (A) - Premiership - Saturday 20th April 2024 - KO: 15-05
72-0 to Saints. That's my prediction

Without hope we are nothing, keep the faith, a Tiger for eternity

For me the result depends on if we can get at least 2 of Martin, Chessum & Reffell on the field, all 3 would be a bonus.
We also have to factor in our shocking performances this season after gaps between games.

To win is not as important as playing with style!

Forwards a match. Especially if we get Chessum, Martin and Reffell on the pitch as others have said.
Backs??? I think they've got us beat.
Saints by 14.

It's interesting to note very limited views of the lineouts on social media in training, when normally it's quite prominent. The only visible one is where you only have a view of Wells and Ilione in one line (but couldn't see who they were jumping against).Wayne Richardson Fan Club wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2024 6:44 pm For me the result depends on if we can get at least 2 of Martin, Chessum & Reffell on the field, all 3 would be a bonus.

To me that suggests at least one person the club doesn't want visible may be training there.. so I expect at least one of Chessum and Martin is back, probably both.

If we play like we did against Leinster with the addition of the above three, then I think we have a very good chance to sneak a win, especially if we slow down the game, keep the ball in the forwards, and do not kick it to their backs with space. Our defence in the midfield has certainly to be better than it was against Leinster though.
If we don't turn up, it will be a cricket score.
