@FromLe2 @pgrocutt JOC seems pretty keen to coach from his interview on the good bad & rugby...

@pgrocutt I share your fears tbh. I think Brett would be slightly easier to replace, but keeping Hewat is almost a priority imo

Decent day of signings that for Tigers. Feels like with the squad development work done this year plus the new signings, the squad will be stronger next season. Genuine options across the park. Exciting times ahead 🤌🤌🤌

@cornwall_fraser @CharlieFelix show how bad an idea neutral semi's is!

@CharlieFelix Maybe just because we aren’t doing well but feel like the competitiveness of the league on the table isn’t there this year. Bristol somewhat still in it but think top 4 is now set with 6 games to go sadly. No relegation means nothing really to play for rest of the season

It’s the end of March and Saracens need a big upset on the road to progress in the Champions Cup and almost require snookers to stay alive in the league. Other Prem teams simply look more coherent and energetic. thetimes.com/sport/rugby-un…

@talkMacca whiteley's versatility is underrated, has played both 9 & 10 this season

In this era of multi dimentional players not many teams carry an out and out winger on the bench, however when you have Orlando Bailey, James O'Connor, and Billy Searle in your 23 I guess Geoff Parling feels he has enough options

@JamesMilner11 @FMC_Rugby geordan murphy who made his tigers debut at 19, ireland debut at 22 and had won 2 european cups & 4 prems by 24?

@FMC_Rugby Jimmy Goppearth? Pat Sanderson. Geordan Murphy.

Who are rugby’s great ‘late bloomers’, past and present? No points for your Stu McCloskeys/folks who were always quality before becoming a test regular. Looking more for the Thomas Ramos, Nacho Brex types

@jamiedoig @edslater @gloucesterrugby @LeicesterTigers upper tier of the doug ellis stand shut as well

Hopefully not many effect by the stand closure. If you’ve not brought tickets yet, please get down and support the boys. Let’s make this a special one for @edslater @gloucesterrugby @LeicesterTigers

@TightFive_Rugby not sure the hack from murley was his best moment, drop on, kill it and take the scrum

Yeah Pollock, you’ve got to hold onto that ball. Cost England the game and Ireland the Six Nations.

@talkMacca why is it that when things go well its because of blackett but when things go badly blackett has been marginalised?

Feels like Lee Blackett was allowed into training this week. This is night and day to the last month

@KeeneTiger yep

Was it Tommy Reffell for Tigers who got sin binned for this?

Have you ever seen a team throw the towel in before like Harlequins?

@RugbyTigers as expected 😂 where from?

@alex_eagleton Flying it's bloody extortionate

Bordeaux booked #Tigersontour

@FromLe2 @o_totoangel @PeterHanna9 😂 strong journalism!

@alex_eagleton @o_totoangel @PeterHanna9 Sadly that dream is over before it started! Staying on where he is

#leicestertigers I'm reading of lots of player movements for Gallag Prem clubs, but not much news coming out of Tigers, starting to get a bit twitchy

@o_totoangel @FromLe2 @PeterHanna9 Daily Mail are reporting Tigers are speaking to Giorgi Tetrashvili (Georgian prop currently at Perpignan)

@FromLe2 @PeterHanna9 I kinda get the feeling it's gonna be Gareth Thomas or Beno Obano as loosehead props, Lozowski or someone from Super Rugby for centre, Glen Young for Lock

@streetwp @18stephenm played against australia a last season

@18stephenm He didn’t play against Spain which was the game that would have tied him to England. The All Blacks XV game didn’t count towards that

Interesting TNT saying Hassell-Collins is available for Wales next February, I thought he was tied to England again due to last years England A game? #PREMrugby #LEIvGLO

@Zels77 yawn

🦗

@KP24 this was 2024, he started the game...

Just like the All Black #5 who I noticed didn’t play in this game….👀

@cornwall_fraser In fairness the England team that OHC played in was considerably poorer than the one Roebuck has played in

I really rate OHC would put him and Muir as the 4th choice for England behind IFW, Freeman and Roebuck but to say he has a better skills set than roebuck is wrong. Especially in the air. Also roebuck has never had a bad game for England and OHC has struggled there

@Stevros3 @RugbyInsideLine also most carries across all players in the opta stats not just the prem or number 8's

@RugbyInsideLine Of that list based on Opta Stats Cracknell 24/25 season Dominant tackles - 2nd (1 Willis) Total carries - 1st (not just that list in the prem overall) Committing 2+ tacklers - 2nd (1 Willis) Dominant carry % - 5th (1 Mata, 2 Du Preez, 3 Clement, 4 Fislau) Why is he bottom?

📈 PREM NUMBER 8 POWER RANKINGS 💫 Willis 🐻 Mata 🃏 Dombrandt 🦈 Du Preez 😇 Chick 🛁 Barbeary 🦅 Mafi ❌ Fisilau 🍒 Clement 🐯 Cracknell

@MarkPercival13 @derekalberts1 😂

@derekalberts1 @alex_eagleton Austin Healey ‘I think that’s fine, no need to look at that, does it actually travel forward, I don’t know?’

For a TMO, with the benefit of time and replays, to deem this perfectly fine is inexcusable

@FromLe2 also the suggestion that they are doing it so he can get experience to assist in one day becoming a head coach 🤯

I like Wigglesworth & rate him as a coach more than others. However learning your trade as a defence coach, on the job, at England level doesn’t feel right or practical. It does feel like a fudge to keep people happy rather than decisive decision making & allocation of roles.
