Re: Tigers V Wasps, Post match.
That would be nice, if a tad optimistic maybe.
Nowadays referees decide matches, players by how much.

Re: Tigers V Wasps, Post match.
Glass is always 90% full. Better than thinking about another 80 without a try. It makes the days between matches and seasons tigerable. Try it, it might make you smile on a grey winters day Let's all bounce together on SundayG.K wrote:That would be nice, if a tad optimistic maybe.
Re: Tigers V Wasps, Post match.
Any names you can tell us or is it not for us to know? I'm excited for next season already. Blake will have really bedded in and then Mauger arriving to take charge over a fit squad, although knowing our luck we won't see half the squad till January again. Still I think we will be stronger next year.floridaboy wrote:I can agree with that, RC has, for the past few matches, looked that his patience is very much stretched to the limit.I'm no rugby coach, but the way we are playing is very poor, the kicking straight down the opponents throats to run back at us, the lack of penetration from the backs (no trys) the lack of line speed, static play, I could go on, but we do not have a devine right to win every game!, but we can expect one of the top teams in europe to make a better fist of things than what we are.

A friend of mine happened to be sitting very close to Cockers on Saturday, he said that frankly watching Cockers frustration and general demeanour was for the most part more interesting than the rugby!!!
It may all be rubbish, but its good to dream, right ??????

I recall a very optimistic forum, myself included, looking forward to this season, before the injuries kicked in.TigerLad wrote:Any names you can tell us or is it not for us to know?

I'm still optimistic we will be in with a shout as usual this season, we are at present still fighting on all fronts(granted we will need to up the tempo somewhat).

It would not be fair to my friend to repeat the names that were given to me at this stage, but they concerned an ex all black lock, a number 7 two ??? number 8's a prop and another scrum half!TigerLad wrote:Any names you can tell us or is it not for us to know?
