Tigers v Bristol Bears (A) - Saturday 03rd December 2022 KO 8-00pm

What’s peoples thoughts on the scrum? Cole vs Genge is an interesting one for me. Feel like Cole is the better scrummager!!

COYT

I think Sinkler not being on the other side weakens them more than Cronin not being there on that side, so definitely feel it's somewhere we can look at

Think Whitcombe should have Lahiff on toast, too!

Agreed Lahiff can be target along with Montoya v Byrne. At worse Genge v Cole will cancel each other out at scrum time.

[Scott1]

Yes,Lahiff is from the Mako V and PDJ school of scrummaging

Team up. Headlines Kelly back on the centres but no Cronin who I’m sure was in a training video, May be recovering

Had a look around found a video from the week with Cronin in.

My concern is that he's only seen in the background standing & wearing a red bib... nobody else seems to be wearing a red bib, all the coaches wear red. Could well be he's assisting Whitcombe et al & the coaching staff.

Sure I saw him running in one but he will be ready when he is.

I would imagine that with Oghre going to France as a medical joker very little point in playing him unless we really have to

No Oghre has been in the training videos throwing in at the line out.

I think he'll play in Europe when we rest Montoya, just as he is here only till the end of the year we do need to make sure we don't upset the likes of Clare for someone who is only short term

Can't see Oghre playing any games as he has signed in France for new year for rest of season.

[LE18]

Feel for Scott who has been good last two times out

I don't think Scott was that good. Got into some arguments with other posters and made some wild assumptions !

Would love to see total domination from Whitcombe and him really kick on for the rest of the season

Any sharper and you would cut yourself
