Guest WarehamFox Posted 13 October 2017 Posted 13 October 2017 Munster second best team in Ireland, but agree it should be a cracking year! Come on Tigers!
fuchsntf Posted 13 October 2017 Posted 13 October 2017 Tigers need to keep their main squad players fit and injury free, for longer periods... plus we must have them together on top form, like years gone by Then we can compete, at the high level again. We have always been, and still are a good top team. Top 4 and Top 6, always achieved, but sort of flatlined like Arsenal, and were then simply not good enough, for top 2, or continual european Semis. I have always been a Tigers man, the club has always been top notch, but those real heavy defeats at home, in the last 6 yrs, took out the mystery and untouchables character of the squad, the system and the clubs top organistion. plus sky losing the Aviva PL and all regualar Euro games...really disappointed me..

I genuinely believe the tigers issues are in the boardroom ... would love to see the tigers rise up again , they will but need the board to be wiped out ulsters performance in 2nd half was very very impressive cracking start

Nalis Posted 14 October 2017 Posted 14 October 2017 Shame not to get a bonus point win over a decimated Wasps side. Aside from Ulster, would like to see Clermont finally win it. Dont think it will happen though.

Anyone from these parts should pipe down about other teams being bad at rugby only for wasps being in Coventry this region would be a rugby wasteland

Since then both prominent and force continuously since. If city had bad eras, then the Tigers were damn good .Compensation Both Even in the amateur days, were teams to beat, and ran on a Profi basis. Even in the "Course Rugby days" where half the team might have had a few beers behind them. Coventry were a big club, but faded, Northampton Lost that righteous path for awhile, but thankfully for good continual heated Derbies, have found their profi level and like Tigers compete at that high level.....top 4.top 6, regulsr European competition. The are top junior clubs, Like S.Leicester , where I started,then played under the Swifts, but drifted due to my travels. Wore the Tigers shirt 5 times, under the best named replacement..A.n.other, Some greats Tried to support me, unfortunately my knee exploded, in a game before the end East-midland trials and player play-offs.was asked to rebuild and retrain on Thursdays, but the Knee never recovered, for high quality Rugby, and then I got the travel bug.Did have some games wayback then for a couple of now Well known French clubs,but that old injury Kept me from any real chance...Plus I played then only for the Craiq has they say.. Today I dont know, if the midlands will ever produce Like a conveyer belt, locals like French, Wheeler, Johnson, Dodge, The Youngs brothers, that mixed with out of town, plus a few from High quality Irish a n d Welsh stock, plus the odd Kiwi, etc Gave the Tigers both that Playing and organisation edge, that actually gave us like Munster a fear factor... I am far from home so how it is today I have no feeling for, just an armchair supporter.
