[TRF_Olyy]

We rarely do well in the A League, but that looks a pretty decent side we're putting out.


Good to see Tom Brady made a sideways step from A League side to A League side

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

TBF to Brady this is his first week back from fitness (Same with Rizzo and Logo)

anyway seems like Tigers have one of the higher amount of home grown players with 15/23 at the club since before turned 18 hopefully the experience @ front row, 9,12 and wings will help them keep it together for a while.

just annoying following a game on twitter.

Amesbury another perpetual A-Leaguer

Amesbury another perpetual A-Leaguer

You would wet yourself if Sale won the A league.

Brady - 1 Try
Odogwu - 0 Try

Tigers win as always. (I can't remember anything about last season and don't care about it).

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Meh, winning stuff is great but the a league is a joke.
If it was a proper A league then great, but what it is at the moment is proper micky mouse.

 

[BPM]

Quins can't even win an A League game right now ...

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Is that Jamal Ford Robinson?

 

[SelimNiai]

Yep

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Thought so, how's he getting on at Bris?

 

[SelimNiai]

Pretty well, highly thought of by the coaches, not sure he'll get league time unless of injuries but expect him to get a cup/euro run out

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Good to hear.

Is there anything stopping clubs from streaming the games? Like rights or something.

I mean BT sport don't have exactly have much else on at that time.

 

[Raggs]

As far as I'm aware there's nothing, fairly sure Bath streamed their A games last season, and may be doing so this season I guess. They're almost certainly recorded for training purposes, so footage is there. Get a couple of fans to do the commentary perhaps (if even needed).

Nothing at all - and a few clubs have done in the past. Bath have streamed their hom live games on their twitter (IIRC) feed for a couple of years; Someone else has as well (Newcastle?). I'd guess that clubs don't have the right to stream their away games, and it may make a difference if they're charging for entry.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Bath have a livestream page: http://original.livestream.com/bathrugby

But it's ****ing awful quality.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Wished Tigers would do this surely they could find a sponsor or something to help cover any costs, with the things like YouTube it should be a lot easier to look at doing.

Similarly to the Ulster stream would be a nice touch to maybe have former players commentating be a good experiance for them.
