Re: PRC Round 4 - Tigers vs Saints
First few conversion kicks where very hard.
An annoying loss.
Subs won it for Saints.
Defence started generally well, discipline in the line cost us the first try.
Not sure in a normal game Tigers would push so many subs at once.
Reid is a class act but his kicking is a bit shaky connection wise, would've liked to see
10. Hardwick
12. Reid
At some point.
Shame about Reffell not coming back.
Also was there any TMO cause saints made at least 7 high tackles that game.
Would like to see first game

Conversions were tough but the penalty should have been a gimme.
Poor pass gifted stains a try too.
The rest of the time he was great.....

Not having a regular dog sitter has benefited our mental health. Just get depressed by the score and the 'highlights' unlike being full-on emotional wrecks trying to drive home in the dark. I really miss the atmosphere and our fellow fans, but not the rugby served up for the lat two years or more. Still, we will be attending from about Xmas as Tigers battle to get into the top 6.

Nottingham 1995-2000
Swansea (Whites) 1988-95
A game played on grass in the open air by teams of XV.

Re: PRC Round 4 - Tigers vs Saints
It wasn’t poor rugby to be fair. In fact, I think we played better, tough loss to take but not the :censored: we put out last season.jgriffin wrote: ↑Sat Oct 12, 2019 5:12 pm Not having a regular dog sitter has benefited our mental health.

Re: PRC Round 4 - Tigers vs Saints
Although Saints won, I think Tigers on balance the stronger side with fixable albeit in today’s case terminal (in respect of what caused the loss) problems. White looked generally good I thought.

Encouraging that we are scoring trys,roll on next week!

Re: PRC Round 4 - Tigers vs Saints
Reid's distribution is just poetry at times. The two passes off his left hand against Exeter were sublime but the one today to Jonah for his first score was a lovely read of what was in front of him and perfect execution.
Losing Reffell was a blow and didn't help us slowing down their ball. Boladau looked good when he came on with a few bits of nifty play in attack.
Loved how Jonah burned Olowofela for his two tries. Excellent finishes

Re: PRC Round 4 - Tigers vs Saints
I would agree with most of that from where I was sitting. Just a pity about the missed kicks. That we should have buried Saints makes it disappointing.longlivethecrumbie wrote: ↑Sat Oct 12, 2019 5:36 pm Reid's distribution is just poetry at times.

Re: PRC Round 4 - Tigers vs Saints
Disappointing that we didn’t get the win, ref wasn’t good surprise surprise but at least we are scoring tries.
Hope for a win against Worcester next weekend, they deserve a good pummelling.

Re: PRC Round 4 - Tigers vs Saints
Interesting comment. The ref is an ex tiger, you wonder sometimes if there is an over compensation.
Sir Ridley is supposedly one of the up and comers
Re: PRC Round 4 - Tigers vs Saints
Yes an interesting point, surely a conflict of interest for both sides if he plays?

Re: PRC Round 4 - Tigers vs Saints
It must be massively difficult to ref a game these days as a rookie, at that level, without the safety blanket of a TMO looking specifically for things like high tackles

TMO has arguably become important than the assistant refs in the professional gamelonglivethecrumbie wrote: ↑Sat Oct 12, 2019 6:51 pm It must be massively difficult to ref a game these days as a rookie, at that level, without the safety blanket of a TMO looking specifically for things like high tackles
