Re: Team vs Exeter

I don't want to be pedantic strawclearer , but I don't think George Best ever played with Christiano Ronaldo !
I was actually 'locked out ' of Filbert Street when Best , Charlton and Law played together there and United won 5 - 0 . Happy days !

Re: Tigers v Chiefs

Very worried about the Exeter pack - they are a very well drilled unit and strong in all areas . I hope that Mulipola starts at TH to give a bit of grunt .If we scrape a win against Exeter we shall do well.

Re: Pearce to Sale

Very much agree with all that . Mafi must be a good one to go for given the wealth of talent that Bath have at No 8 next season .Unless Slater really makes a success of the position we are terribly exposed with very limited options .

Re: Team's up: Tigers v London Irish

I share Smudge's doubts about Balmain - Mulipola should be starting ( a bit of a joke to see Fraser nominated for the Player of the Month award ). Not too worried about Slater at 8 - he will play well anywhere .

Re: Quins

Too right we should start Pearce - can't understand why he has not started in the last 2 games . If OTY isn't fit to start I would start with Harry - we'll then get some enthusiasm at least !

Re: Baffling and brilliant

I think the Club would prefer one way communication when it comes to Fans having a view on performance - that abject display on Saturday deserved more than a few emails - the complacent response is worrying .I too think that a few more searching questions are needed on the Rugby Hour .

Re: The 8 Question

I bow to no-one in my admiration of Tom Croft and he has many skills at the highest level - but as a ball carrier at close quarters he is nowhere . I would also say that ballcarrying is not a strength of Kitchenor either . Of the forwards mentioned only Mike Williams , Mulipola and Slater fit the bi...

Re: The 8 Question

Jackflash - I tend to agree with you . No 8 is such a key position that in my eyes you need one of your really top players there . Since Corry retired we have been not well served in that position - at present Pearce does have promise but apparently is going , Crane - just not good enough , Fonoa - ...

Re: Mat Tait

Well , Veianu ought to be nailed on at 15 ! He has pace and vision which no-one else can match and we are a much better side when he is fully involved rather than hanging about on the wing .Tait is reliable and not so injury prone as before , but his searing pace is long gone and I see him as a squa...

Re: Chill

We have lost a number of games recently ! Yes , of course the many returnees will strengthen the side but if we cannot put out a squad that can beat Sale playing at Home then I would have thought that this is a matter for concern . Sarries also had many absentees yesterday but still won away against...

Re: Chill

I'm not sure that a number of the players you say are the 'Core' are really of an adequate standard - how many would get into the Sarries 2nd team that won at Exeter yesterday ? . Sarries have reached their present level by introducing young English players into their squad over several seasons with...

Re: OK Someone has to say this.

I think that today's abject display highlights the fact that too many in this 23 man squad are simply not good enough . With our 1st choice squad we would probably beat Sale every time but how many of this lot really would get into our top team - not many i would suggest .We could have done with Har...
