Forum Rugby Club - 2010-11 Season
Posted by: JWM on 08 July 2010
Kicking off the new season's thread with some sad news.
Leicester Tigers' Harry Ellis is to retire at 28 because of persistent left knee problems.
On the bright side, Leicester does of course have Ben Youngs (and perhaps Harry could remain involved in a mentoring role).
But it's always unfortunate when a player (wherever) has to retire (early) because of unresolvable injury problems.

I must say that i have to agree with Mark but i would not go as far as to say that we did not deserve to win and as Jamie said a win is a win,but woe betide them if they treat Ireland the same next week especially as they will still be furious about the Wales defeat { i do hope that the touch judge had a plentyfull supply of vaseline }
Anyway i still had a good time in the pub with a rake of Cuthberts down the old pudding shute
and i have had my card signed by the better half to purchase a season ticket, Happy days

Which were matched by the wooden spoon contenders, Scotland. So then, Tigers being absent from the breakdown might explain why we were so light in that area and outfought by Scotland!Clearly Cole, Deacon and Croft couldn't be bothered with winning the ball!
Palmer and Haskell played well though!
As you say a very poor performance by England but Ireland came off the starting blocks at mach 10 and we could not cope with their speed and aggression. I do not think that Easter is a worthy captain at all and wonder if Tindall or Moody were available would they have salvaged the game ?????.
Anyway let us have our boys back and we can march on to HQ for the aviva final

What a game, that was the 3rd LV= cup final I have been to with GLAWS in 3 consecutive years, and yesterday they cracked it BIG TIME! Mark, I can assure you Nicky Robinson has NOT played like that all season otherwise we would have kept him and not let him go to the PESTS.
Well at least we are in the Lager Cup next year.
Sorry about Glaws' major thumping on Saturday FF. That must have hurt
Also, sorry about Pests' major thumping on Sunday, Mark. Again, that must have hurt.
But not quite so sorry about Barf's major thumping on Saturday - their worst ever Premiership defeat at home.
I wonder how those Leicester Tigers are getting on...?? 
Looks like you will have to be upset for the pests again James
Tigers were at the ugly pills again yesterday, but still at the top and still in control
Looks like Donna and myself will be on the terraces for the Glaws game what about you and Flyfisher, James
