Anyone know where he's going after Warriors?

Telusa Veainu

I see that he's on the bench for tomorrow's Shield match. Didn't expect him to be back until next season. If he really is match fit, he'll be a Godsend for our end-of-season games.

Mike Ford

Since MF arrived, there have been comments from senior players, like:
"so much more clarity......."
"boosted by getting back to basics......"
"heading us in the right direction......"

Why was this lacking before?

Nice one GK, but I'm trying to stay positive!

Re: Positives

So Cohen thinks we should "get behind the boys"? Too many people parrot this phrase; what the hell does it actually mean? We all pay for our season tickets, we all cheer on "the boys", even when they're being humiliated. The Cohens of this world are the ones letting the boys down...

Tigercam

"No call for a mark"? An old traditional part of the game, but revert to the original mark; simultaneously making a mark in the ground while making a clean catch, raising the arm, and calling for it.

Make the recipients of a penalty-try kick the conversion, as before.

Re: Sione banned for 5 weeks in reality

This really highlights the inconsistency in refereeing. Unfortunately, the standards do not seem to be improving. There are very few premiership, or international, referees, whom I respect. This is such a fundamental aspect of the game that the powers-that-be would be well advised to concentrate on ...

Re: Worrying Developments

"We have been like it for 4-5 seasons now ......." Don't agree. A slow decline was perceptible 7 or 8 seasons ago, but now it has become a downhill rush. Much as I admired GM as a player, I still don't believe he has the force of personality to turn things around, unless he has an inspired...

Re: Tait Retires

Many thanks Matt; sorry it had to end this way. That try-saving tackle on Jimmy Gopperth was the greatest I have ever seen!
All the best for the future.

Re: Worrying Developments

May has turned out to be one of the best signings in recent years. If only we knew how to use him! How rarely does the ball ever reach him? And what makes us think we can keep him, when we sink to the bottom of the table, with no top European competition next season? Every year I go to the Prem fina...

Re: Worrying Developments

What a pathetic performance today; it's almost as if no one in the team cares any more. There are some serious motivation issues in the current squad. I think there are more "worrying developments" than the original thread posted here!
