Are Leicester Tigers in decline?

[jgriffin]

Mauls are being killed illegally and unpunished, illegal obstruction and offside too. Refs this season are criminally responsible for damaging the game, especially Garner.
Don't you just love Tigers? Wouldn't put it past them to stuff Saints twice on the trot.

No let's go for the hat trick - Saints, then Barf, then Saffas.

Yes and, let's hope so!

[fentiger]

Tigers should supply season ticket holders with free Gaviscon (other brands are available)

[Maidman]

After today's performance I'd say 'no'!!

I can't post a link for you but for those of you with a link to the Times there is a very interesting and relevant article in the Sports section about our club
If anyone has a Times e-subscription, pleae can you post the link
Thanks

+ 1 Tigercaspian. Very interested no article and well worth reading.
And no, I can't do that link thing either.

[loretta]

cut and paste?

[RagingBull]

Copy and pasting it might be complicated in terms of rights.

A key bullet point summary though I think would be alright

Austin clearly can't see over the top of his grindstone to see what is being put into place for next season.

He isn't the only one who's said it, or words to that affect though. Is Brian Moore so equally jaundiced for example?

[RagingBull]

I though Moore wrote a brilliant article on Leicester (After the Glous game at Kingsholm)

Reading it again i think he was on point.

You mean, "If you think Tigers’ problem is isolated you are wrong"?

[Roly]

No that isn't what I meant, but never mind.

I wouldn't expect you to look objectively at what Healey has written (we all know his views on Tigers can be skewed, especially since I posted the links), but it would also be foolish to ignore core content, which is essentially correct. Tigers have either stayed still or regressed, while others have made tangible progress. This has been a fundamental failing of the club.

Who is to blame is debateable. The fact that it is happening is not.
