Re: One question
There we are then. Stick to volleyball and let the experts deal with Tigers. I'm sure Cockerill or Mauger wouldn't criticise your volleyball coaching.

Ha ha, great swerve. You don't have an answer to the question do you? It's a perfectly reasonably question don't you think?ellis9 wrote:There we are then. Stick to volleyball and let the experts deal with Tigers. I'm sure Cockerill or Mauger would criticise your volleyball coaching.
If there is a reasonable answer I won't make any criticism. But as I don't...
Re: One question
You can ignore his points contribution if you wish but it seems foolish and at 33 its outstanding for a forward. The complaints on here are largely based on results. Waldron gets results (points) as did Deano with his well known training habits. Your criticism that he scores after the hard work of others seems to be a criticism of teamwork. Cockers took a dislike to Waldrom as he has with a growing number of players who have gone on to do well. If his judgement is so clouded by spite that he leaves the team weakened then he is not the right man for the job.jgriffin wrote:TTTE is notorious with Chiefs fans for NOT making the hard yards, largely finishing off the work of Ewers, Armand and others. He apparently took all his training habits to Chiefs as well. Chiefs are my second team BTW.Soggypitch wrote:No idea - we lack ball carriers, Pearce in particular gave us that.
And don't forget we got rid of another more than decent No. 8 the year before - yes the one that keeps on scoring and making the hard yards for Exeter!
Re: One question
In response to the question, we had too many 8s as it was.
McCaffrey wasn't considered an 8 when we got him but became our best 8 option.
Pearce, I'm told, would have cost us too much to keep. Personally I'd have liked us to keep him but I'm not sure that remained an option.
Crane, the consensus was that it was time for him to move on wasn't it?
Fonua, from what Crowson tweeted his attitude and fitness wasn't impressing people. I'm also told that we believed we had Josh Beaumont signed which triggered us to allow Fonua to go. If that's true, it sounds like someone jumped the gun.
We also signed Hamilton to cover across the back row and have now signed Leonardi. We're not as bereft as you think, but I would like us to have an out and out 8.

Re: One question
I spoke briefly to Pearce after the semi in Nottingham and I can tell you he was really hacked off!
Re: One question
You have asked this question on a few threads. No one on here knows, but here are some options:
IMHO the most likely is the last one.
- As Iain alludes to above, it was a coaching decision to use McCaffery. You need to talk to Mauger.
It was a financial decision, we couldn't afford one. Talk to Cohen.
It was a failure of negotiation, we wanted to keep one but the process broke down. Ditto.
It was a failure of the recruitment process - we thought we had signed one. Talk to the player concerned
IMHO the most likely is the last one.

TTTE tops the 'most carries' this season (106), above Billy V (91), and i'm fairly sure they all weren't from the 5m line!jgriffin wrote:TTTE is notorious with Chiefs fans for NOT making the hard yards, largely finishing off the work of Ewers, Armand and others.
Re: One question
Ugghhh...I should have used a different word. The fact something fails doesn't necessarily imply personal fault. There are a large number of factors outside local control in all of those scenarios.Southerntiger wrote:kend wrote:You have asked this question on a few threads.

Re: One question
Like I posted elsewhere, I beleive we could not afford one, we made a big loss last year and I think we had to cut back, we paid De Villiers a very large wage, which contributed to the loss, so players were let go, especially Crane who had long since passed his sell by date (and had cost us TTE previously) and Fonua who was too big and useless!
Re: One question
In round 5, Vunipola made 75 carries and made 258 metres.
Waldrom made 84 carries and made less than 216 metres.
