Our MF is gonna be torn to pieces! Slow BR too,on a plastic pitch as well,why not Guy and Brendan?! This isn't rocket science!

Re: Tigers v Newcastle - 12th April 2019
Really poor backrow selection.
But all our 2nd rows are selected in the 23.
We should be able to win this game...but I am struggling to see how we will.

To win is not as important as playing with style!

Maybe Sir will do us a few favours,he owes from the Saints game!

Re: Tigers v Newcastle - 12th April 2019
What was the point in getting Clayton Blommetjies if we are not even going to include him in the match day squad? Don't the powers to be realise we are fighting for our premiership lives here?ourla wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2019 12:34 pm Leicester Tigers (v Newcastle Falcons, Kingston Park, Friday 7.45pm)

Re: Tigers v Newcastle - 12th April 2019
I fear a BP win for Falcons. Jersey here we come.
I'm not cynical just experienced
Re: Tigers v Newcastle - 12th April 2019
Yes a 5-0 loss would be the final nail imo.

Re: Tigers v Newcastle - 12th April 2019
Two home wins would see us stay up. A 4-1 loss would definitely not be the end of the world, and is what I expect. I think we will get 10 points more in total, which, unless both Falcons and Wuss go on staggering winning streaks, will see us safe.

Definitely lose this one. How Wells doesn’t start I don’t know. Same with BOC. I appreciate Matt Smith has been out a long time but I’d still pick him over Owen any day of the week. Toomua is not a full back. Senseless selection. Probably means we will win now

Geordan really doesn't know what he's doing
Re: Tigers v Newcastle - 12th April 2019
I'm starting to come to that conclusion now with some of his team selections!

You can't say that its heresy and bordering on high treason .
Without hope we are nothing, keep the faith, a Tiger for eternity
