+1 I paid a £5 deposit and watched the Worcester game. Ok,it's in a smallish window but it was fine.
Having said that, Big Dai, there's a compelling argument to leave Marge, Selma & Patti at home, and to get down to WR.

I use CricTV
Do you mean http://cricfree.tv? It's OK when you've got rid of the advertising messages but it does rely on the game being on Sky or BT. I'm in a similar situation to BD so might sign up to the bookies (never been in a bookies in my life). That said Radio L do serve up an intriguing mixture of confusion, mystery and occasional bouts of excitement with a hint of information when Bledyn and Johnson are on. The other option is cutting the family adrift and going down the road to the game.

That said if JDV and Manu were on the sheet the latter would be a 'gimme'. Even so, we now have enough talent to make every game enticing and I'm glad to see the mix for the starters and the willingness to keep the squad working for their chance. After the gloom of the last few seasons I feel really excited about the games now.

Disappointed if we don't get the 5pts.

Oh, and Happy Christmas everyone.
Opportunities always look bigger going than coming.

The stream on 365 is good but they don't have the European games

I do have a lot on fun betting on the first try scorer

Over a season Ben Youngs makes you $

Nicely put. Sometimes, when I hear the highlights after watching a game, I really do struggle to recognise the bits of play they're describing.

As a commentator, Bledyn Jones is an utter buffoon. But he's our buffoon, so that's ok.
In my defence, I was left unsupervised….

Actually Bleddyn and Steve remind me of Murray Walker and James Hunt,

For "And it's Nigel Mansel crossing the line to win." "Actually Murray, that's Alain Prost!"

Read

"Corry, Corry scores for Tigers!" "Actually Bleddyn I think you'll find that's Slater, Corry retired seasons ago."

+1 well said, yeah he is, #Tigersfamily.

My favourite is when he gets really excited and a Tigers try is scored out of nowhere and we get that Bleddyn magic of "It's a Trrrry!". Pure local radio gold. That's plumb line, meat and drink for him.

To pick a very similar example from around the same time, why did we let Horacio Agulla go (rhetorical question)? Was he obviously not good enough for Tigers?

And by the way, I wasn't questioning why he want being picked at the moment (haven't seen him play), I was just pondering why he wasn't good enough at present.

He fell on the wrong side of the 'cost - benefit' equation. He'd had a good season and was asking for a higher salary but would have been away with the Pumas for the first 5-6 weeks and during the AI's so it didn't fit within the squad structure at the time.

Well that's about the team I was expecting, but obviously disappointed no JDV and Manu. It will be interesting to see if JDV is picked to start v Sarries next week, I just reckon he might be, where as I don't think there's any chance of risking Manu first game back on an artificial pitch.

Should be a good enough side to win well, particularly with the cavalry on the bench if required, but I hope the Youngs bros and Cole in particular get a decent rest. Bit surprised that McCaffrey hasn't been rested or benched, but he must be fresh, injury free and raring to go which is great!

Looks like JC's car washing days really are over for now!

You answered my question, even though it was rhetorical i.e. no answer required :smt023
