Tigers Coaching Team - 2023/2024 Season

[Darc Tiger]

I've heard from a reliable source that the coaching team is sorted.

Brett, Smithy and Everard are staying, Dickens + replacements for Harrison and Aled are sorted, but wouldn't give me names.

Any indication on if we'd be happy or not?

Acknowledgement that Aled is very hard to replace, but we kinda knew that.

Don't think my source knew enough about scrum coaches to make a judgement in that regard.

No problem - thanks for confirming

Statement says it's not a surprise and they will announce the new team after the season ends so I'm pretty certain we have the new team signed up and ready to go.

So if McKellar has name checked Palmer in the past, would he be in contention. Also Petrus Du Plessis who worked with DM for Australia and recently stepped down.

Good luck to Tom Harrison. Five coaches going to the national team is a mighty pill to swallow, but it is interesting that the club announcement states that the club has been aware of this latest one for a while.... and is 'close to finalising the coaching team....'.
Not much has been said yet about Danny Wilson finishing his spell with Tigers. He does seem to have made a difference to the set-piece, and may be a tough act to follow.

I genuinely don't think you'd find a single Tigers fan against that

Hopefully Borthwicks smash and grab is over. Thank you and good luck to all those embarking on their new careers.

Also, I hope that the blazer boys at RFU don't wake up and realize just how amazing our Andrea is and try to nab her to run the whole show.

A woman in charge of the RFU, think the Bufton-Tuftons might have a meltdown.

Of those who have left its only Aled who is irreplaceable.....personally think he will be wasted with England, unless the clubs give him access.

I wish the coaches well but if Borthwick thinks last season’s Tigers’ style of rugby is the way for England it will not work.
Saracens and Sale have deservedly come first and second as they have both evolved into sides that can bully the opposition then play very good attacking rugby.
Wigglesworth has done a great job for us but yesterday again proved that when other teams front up we don’t have the backs to cut through.
I’m looking forward to the Sale game, cheering from the North stand, to see if we can make a decent game of it!

Apart from the fact that we rested two of our best backs yesterday in a dead rubber.

And one of our best forwards. Players player of the year no less.

Think that's a bit harsh when the backs will deliberately not running any of the backs moves they are planning for the Sale game.

Why play moves in a dead rubber, yes our attack looked one dimensional, that's because it was as we're saving things for the big games.
