Re: What a mess

[/color] This is exactly Saracens position throughout when they were cheating season after season. Anyone pushing that argument has a serious deficiency with their moral compass. :smt038 Then pro sport should not ask for taxpayers money to pay players 20k a game whilst nurses and soldiers get 20k a...

Re: Delay start of 20-21 season (again)?

Believe the proposed November start date will carry through - the return of fans to stadia however is a different story.Believe we could well be looking at the New Year. Bizarrely, socially distanced pods of fans would be at almost NO risk of catching SARS CoV2 as at least 97% of infections if not ...

Re: Team vs Saints

Barnes, as always, showed he’s the best ref around. He makes it very clear to the players about how to react. Our cards were deserved, and as I said in a previous post Lavanini was not to blame. The rules are clear and like Saints card, it was a high tackle but in real time not reckless . Barnes al...

Re: Team vs Saints

I thought we did seem to be very very poor at securing the ball from an opposition restart, of which there were quite a few. I'm surprised nobody else has mentioned it, or am I missing something?

Re: Team vs Saints

be fair we extended our lead when down to 13 men, a decent team would have put at least 1 try on us then, but you can only play the side in front of you Pure speculation Not really, its a reasonably well established stat that a team serving a yellow card will, on average, have 7 points scored again...

Re: Puzzled - Saracens!

It ain't necessarily so... To say that an omission (general) can be regarded as an error (general) is patently false. Some omissions may be errors in the same way that some You are presuming to know which is which as a starting point, if information is not passed from A to B, how can B or C tell if...

Re: Pro 14 - Coach of the year, guess who!

Good for him! Great coach, interesting character, fan of his or no I think we can all agree we'd be in a better spot now if he'd stayed. Oh for the days when 4th was considered a travesty. Oh for the days when you could book tickets for the final as soon as the offers came out because you KNEW Tige...

Re: Ringfencing almost upon us ?

Has anyone else stopped watching the other games? I watch the Leicester games but watching one sided matches is not entertainment in my eyes. I don't think this was the way to finish the season in hindsight. I think it is all fairly pointless - the league results and table is distorted. I don't thi...

Re: Puzzled - Saracens!

I would posit that an omission can be regarded as an error, the fact that something is deliberately omitted does not preclude it from being erroneous and and error can be an error of omission! It ain't necessarily so... To say that an omission (general) can be regarded as an error (general) is pate...

Re: Puzzled - Saracens!

Wasn't the automatic relegation a sanction made up on the fly? Not to defend Sarries, they deserve everything they've got and probably more, but their relegation came from them refusing to submit to an audit mid year for the salary cap year 2019-20 if I recall correctly, a requirement not in the re...

Re: London Irish

Taute reminds me of latter day Matt Smith in the centres, nothing spectacular but a good pro who makes his tackles and rarely lets you down Perhaps, but Smith had seious gas in his earlier years. Always felt he played his best on the wing although perhaps not in his latter years as his pace dipped....

Re: Annoyance over forward passes

Just enquiring cos I'm not sure, but if the touchline is itself in-touch, doesn't that mean that if a hooker's heels are (just) touching the whitewash, he must be in touch and can therefore throw in with impunity? Or does the Law say that he must be behind the line? 18.22. The player throwing in th...

Re: Ringfencing almost upon us ?

Does anyone else think it's time to end "parachute" payments? surely they give the relegated team an unfair advantage by enabling them to keep a much stronger and probably larger squad than the teams around them in the championship. I think the parachute payment comes from all of the Prem...

Re: Ringfencing almost upon us ?

For me, the reason a team should get promoted is by being the best team. Infrastructure, finances and community engagement etc is completely irrelevant. If they finish top, they deserve a chance in the Premiership. So you don’t feel that a club should prove it is able to pay the increased wages req...
