I agree the issue isn’t with Furbank it’s more with Daly and now to a certain extent Manu being picked ahead of Steward, at the very least on the bench. Furbank is a better footballer than Steward no doubt, but I’m not sure I agree he’s done that much in 2 games. For Lawrence try as I mentioned the...

Given the obvious change in mindset I’m not sure he did. Freddie would have run Lowe’s kick back and easily scored the try. You have to weigh positive attack against defensive frailties. I think the selection was spot on and you could say that Furbank contributed to the win. Consistency is the key ...

Really happy we're keeping hold of Simmonds. Not so pleased Cronin. He's 33 and his scrum work is fading in effectiveness. Got to hope that deal is a significant reduction because he's not a likely starter and probably should be third choice if we can bring in a good loosehead. Andrea said yesterda...

I'm massively sold on this if I'm honest. West, Whitcombe and Ellof would be a pretty solid trio of LH's with Van Der Flier and Miell in the background coming through. Is West a premiership starter? I remember him when he was here and he was a great addition to the squad and did well when he played...

https://twitter.com/Saracens/status/1765346601965391925?t=Hp9L_rVqFMX19uhpWFgElw&s=19 Saracens announce their 2nd Loosehead signing in a couple of days plus also announced Mawi a contract extension... Surely that means West (and Vunipola) is up for grabs? I would take West if we had the opportu...

Regrettably Watson is Manu mark 2. Great when available but not available enough. I suspect that like Manu he doesn't come cheap either. In these days of financial difficulties can we really afford to keep him? I think signing him was a risk worth taking as he is world class when fit, unfortunately...

Certainly hope that the communication issues are raised when Andrea talks to the Rolling Maul Podcast today. Really seeing that as an opportunity to get some answers for the supporters. I really do feel like we need some good news and some good promotion to kick start the interest in the season aga...

Really surprised no body has mentioned Bassett as an option, seem exact may the kind of wing Borthwick would want. Great kick chase, fast, strong, and not going to be away during the internationals. Would be a great pick up with Nandolo leaving. Only other players I really see as options with curren...

As disappointing and upsetting as it is to lose world class players like Genge and Ford, the more I think about it long term I feel this could put up in a better place than a few other team long term. I have thought Genge and Fords wages would equal the salary cap reduction, with pollard going into ...

He definitely seem to be struggling after he took an accidental knock after making a tackle right on halftime, and he was then replaced at halftime, but there may have been an element of precaution to it as I believe he failed a HIA either last week or the week before.

After last night it looks like relegation will likely between Newcastle and Worcester, I personally think it will be Worcester who end up going down as I not sure they’ll pick up any more points as where I think Newcastle may pick at least a few losing bonus points. And what players do people think ...

Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s worrying about not making the World Cup squad with his form, Copper is the form Australian 10 currently, and both Kerevi and Kuridrani back and up there in the carries and line break stats, along with Foley, Beale and Hayley-petty. He could struggle he’ll only have half...
