It’s amazing just how much the Tiger’s have improved.

 

Kevin Sinfield has performed miracles with the defence. A couple of years ago as soon as any team got in the Tiger’s ‘22 it was only a question of how many points they would come away with.

Literally about to type that, didn’t know Sinfield had the ability to cross over as well as he has. Particularly given his spell at Leeds Rhinos was a mixed bag 

Great piece on this in today's Times. Borthwick says that he brings much more than just defensive insight and that his overall knowledge of the game and influence has been far reaching.

Tigers at Saints getting a bit spicy.

 

All kicks off and Dallalio in comms says "the two opposing props just discussing what brand of foundation they've put on today" 

 

P.S That Nadolo for Tigers is a fvckin unit

Absolutely demolished them

[Tielemans63]

Brilliant performance this afternoon. Almost made up for that shitshow earlier on

[BKLFox]

That was a brilliant performance and they only have the bonus due to the spell they were playing against 13 but not many will be getting over 50 at Franklin gardens.

Much needed we now going into a very hard November with at least 12 players away for the Internationals with maybe 10 starters out of those.

 

Edit: November not going to be as bad as I assumed, we only have Bath whilst Internationals on

Seriously impressive this season.

Tigers Tigers Tigers! <3

Replay on BT sport at 6am if anyone else forgot to record it like I did!

Outstanding. Didn't fancy watching it after the Arsenal result, but kudos to Borthwick, Tigers are a brutal team. Even with 2 men sent to the bin, they battered Northampton into submission.

[deejdeej]

Another win, not as convincing as last weekend but 8 wins from 8!

[st albans fox]

40-23 v bath

 

scoreline flattered a little but pretty much in control through the second half ………..

 

8 on the bounce at the start of the season !

[Webbo]

I got a bit worried at times but a big win. 

[Duquesne Whistle]

Live in Bath now and I've been taking endless stick about Tigers for the last few years. An 8-0 season record with Bath at 0-7. Opposite ends of the table. This was sweet. 

Dolly is quickly becoming my favourite Tigers player.

Anyone noticed Tigers and the City never have a good season at the same time?

 

That’s why the football is doing bad this season  

[Livid]

Got the job done last night missing more players due to internationals than we will for any other game this season. 
 

I looked before the game and BET365 had the handicap at 18 points, I thought it was a little high but they got that just about spot on.

Exactly this. I thought the curse had been broken when we beat Man U

Sale Sharks, hands off our Ford!

 

Although if Jones don't see him for the WCup in 2023 i can see this being his last season with the Tigers anyway & he'll head off to France to get that big deal prior to retirement.

Surely Sale would have to clear a lot of space to comply with the salary cap in that case. They already have Manu, Faf De Klerk, Tom Curry etc.

I know AJ Mc going to Bristol but not heard of anyone else and you’d think Ford would be further up the pay band than AJ.

It does make me wonder how some of these clubs manage it, obviously Sarries got stung but I look at Exeter and think how the hell do they afford that squad but they were quite vocal when Sarries got hit then went and signed Hogg

[RonnieTodger]

Was thinking of heading down today but it’s £27 for a second-string tournament.

 

In fairness I think it’s cheaper if you buy ahead

Think I paid around £19 ahead of time. Not bad, but still takes adjusting from a football game to rugby

They never even win on the same day. Rare as hen's teeth for both to win on the same Saturday 

[Nalis]

All blacks are going to feckin beat us here aren't they? They are like a peak Germany in football, the match isnt over until the final whistle or after 80 if you are ahead by 8pts.

 

Flipside is that there are a lot of positives to take from this despite NZ handling errors earlier which helped us.

 

Sorry for the thread hijack btw, wasnt worth a new thread and cba finding an old one...

 

Edit - Never in doubt!  NZ not at their best of course but I dont care, I have conceded the fact that we will always fail to deliver at world cups so just going to enjoy these moments. We arent exactly Fiji 7s but I like that Farrell and Catt are mixing up our style, think they kicked more Garryowens that we did.
