SHEFFIELD TIGERS THIS SEASON
Like Tynedale, Sheffield Tigers have had a disappointing start to the season, losing their first seven matches before picking up their first victory last time out. The Tigers’s first six matches mirrored matches Tynedale have also played so comparisons can be drawn which probably underline the fact that there is little to chose between the two sides.
