That says more about the general standard of officiating than Dickson himself.
He is considerably better than he was, but he's no Barnes or Owens.

Dickens might have worked of course, the whole situation with him has been odd to put it mildly.

That terrible Australian Pat Howard was obviously the exception that proves the rule that British is best...

At present the performances of our teams on the pitch rather mirror the overall performance of the club in general.

Replacing Aled is looking the equivalent of replacing Ferguson at Old Trafford...

Are we sure Richardson had more than a 12 month contract? If we are paying him & Dickens off, more money flushed away, did we pay Leigh Jones off as well?

Dan Jones leaving Scarlets, not the worst 10 in the world.

Players not being fit enough is also their own fault.

Whitcombe not starting is just nonsensical now. As for playing Kinder on the wing, normally I would be all for it, possibly the easiest position to translate age group to senior rugby, weather good...but the opposition FH is probably the best tactical kicker in the sport. As for hooker it will be in...

SA might not call him up.

Chessum out for the summer tour too so that means George Martin is never being rested for that tour either... & on previous evidence come back broken...already a bit fingers crossed for Chessum Snr & Henderson being fit for the start of next season. Martin shouldn't be anywhere near NZ this...

The wonder back is off to Leinster...

No idea if this is practical or possible, but with Jonathan Davies leaving Scarlets, I'd be tempted to have a look at him for us. We need a centre, especially at 13. Could be a pretty good option to bring in as back up to Perese and help bring young Charlie Myall on. We have lost several of our &qu...

Because its my name I believe.

I described him a few years ago as a dim thug with a stupid haircut. My opinion hasn't changed. He’s certainly not a thug, and neither is he dim - on the contrary he is one of the most engaging and insightful players in the game. Anyone who has listened to him in interviews would appreciate this, a...

I think it is quite simple, next year there is a limited squad size, and limited game time available, the players in the squad have to be balanced over all.positions and there is only room for a certain number of specialist scrum halves and hookers, certain positions lead to more versatility than o...

Another ban from swearing at/towards officials, not great for the club. Complete with the barest Item on the website. Very generous of the panel to consider tonight's game as a serious one (an area Rugby really needs to tighten up on) as from the team selection the club consider it slightly differen...

Yup! If that means Challenge cup then so be it. I'm done with all the fawning over 'the best club side' etc etc.

The competition in its present format isn't great...that said a fully stacked Toulouse at WR would be good to see.
