Re: Tigers on Loan Watch
In fairness he is not the first or the last to let Aumua go through him. He's like a bull.
I think Jordan has done really well over there. His step, acceleration and offload for a try last week was right out of the top drawer.
Also George W had a decent hit out for the Rebels. Again, some nice work in tight spaces in attack, with a few decent offloads too.

If Borthwick doesn't find a place for him there will always be a space on the wing in Perth if he likes!SthrnTiger wrote: ↑Fri May 28, 2021 10:22 amIn the highlights I’ve seen Olowofela has looked good in attack and we do need some more pace in our backline, will be interesting to see if he features in Borthwicks plans.
Seriously, he exceeded all of my expectations of him and he's become a bit of a cult hero here in WA already in his short time with Western Force.
He is, and always will be, Force number 213.

Re: Tigers on Loan Watch
I watched the Notts game today. David Williams, at 13, had a very strong game. Scored two tries. On the first, he rounded the full back with the sort of pace we’ve been crying out for. The second was a typical ‘Ashton’ type try, tracking the play and picking the right moment to take a short ball from the 9.RagingBull wrote: ↑Fri May 28, 2021 6:00 pm Final Championship round Tigers involved

Could he be the pacy right wing we’re looking for to replace the hopefully departing Van Wyk.
Re: Tigers on Loan Watch
I'm convinced at this point it doesn't matter who is in the backline until we have a proper attack coachDokie wrote: ↑Sat May 29, 2021 9:11 pmI watched the Notts game today.

Re: Tigers on Loan Watch
I agree with KPJ. Problem is, will there by an attack coach who can work with Borthwick’s style?

Re: Tigers on Loan Watch
Also difference between Championship and Premiership.
It’s not like Williams has done much in the premiership games he has played either.

Re: Tigers on Loan Watch
I think Williams, particularly considering his age, has shown more the Van Eryk in the games he has had for Tigers. He may have less room at Premiership level but his speed should not be decreased
If Tigers can get a group of young relatively home grown players as the core of a future squad I think it will be a better foundation than 2 year flips of similar standard players on paper.

Re: Tigers on Loan Watch
Interesting that Rowntree started at Loosehead for Loughborough only game of the season v Esher on the weekend.
Wonder if he was switched sides or is just playing both?

Re: Tigers on Loan Watch
Could just be a case of playing both sides, as far as I know when we was converted to prop by the Tigers he played at loosehead first but I could be wrong.RagingBull wrote: ↑Tue Jun 01, 2021 10:22 pm Interesting that Rowntree started at Loosehead for Loughborough only game of the season v Esher on the weekend.

His Dad played the odd game on the other side of the scrum.JP14 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 02, 2021 9:16 amCould just be a case of playing both sides, as far as I know when we was converted to prop by the Tigers he played at loosehead first but I could be wrong.RagingBull wrote: ↑Tue Jun 01, 2021 10:22 pm Interesting that Rowntree started at Loosehead for Loughborough only game of the season v Esher on the weekend.

To win is not as important as playing with style!
