Re: Guy Porter red card - Update - 3 week ban
I get the desire to reduce reckless behaviour but taken to the logical conclusion, if as we have seen many times, two players tackling the same opposition player clash heads with each other, then both should be red carded which is nonsense. It is what it is, but to me the game itself is a reckless p...

Re: Guy Porter red card
It is worth stating what some are saying. Yes it was accidental yes it was reckless, by the laws of the game it was a red card. Is that law wrong does it need amending definitely BUT on Sunday April 10th, THAT WAS THE LAW. As for those saying they ran into other possibly, but the attacker can be wh...

Re: Guy Porter red card
Blah Blah, people are just repeating themselves. If it wasn’t reckless why doesn’t this sort of collision happen every game. Maybe because people are aware of their surroundings How often do players get penalised for running into the ref and and he is fairly static, 30 people running about full til...

Re: New Salary Cap Breach?
These were trivial breaches when all said and done rather than a systemic evasion of the salary cap. It may well be that the officials at the club did not consider them to be breaches at the time and the image rights issue has since been clarified and our interpretation was wrong. I doubt the chair...

Re: New Salary Cap Breach?
Some on here are deliberately painting this as an either or equation, no grey areas ( are they perhaps they suffer from an infection of twitter!) Personally I want to know if the club deliberately and knowingly under reported or they made a mistake, or one individual made an error, none of these pos...

Re: New Salary Cap Breach?
I think a statement from the club explaining their position regarding these payments would help us all put this to bed. Were the board as a whole aware and in agreement with the disregarding these payments as far as the cap was concerned or were they unaware, and this was the action of an individual...

Re: "Afters"
And yes, the hooker standing on the pitch is a major bugbear of mine as well, it is so easy to enforce, just tell the hookers that the law requires them to be off the pitch and if they stand on the pitch to throw in, it's a free kick to the opponents, simple. One other wish is that the ref had a spr...

Re: Va’aiga Tuigamala
Very sad. A great player. Saw him in play for Newcastle vs Tigers on a very wet and windy day in late December in 97. He spent the warm up by passing the ball from the 10 m line to the try line one handed- I was in awe! First tigers game that I had seen them lose, cried all the way home. RIP In tha...

Re: 6 Nations 2022
No excuses any more, England are pants, Sinkler's standing up under the posts shows he has neither the wit to work with the ref nor the skill to scrummage properly, Genge was little better, their body language was telling they both looked super relaxed, and giving off an ' I'm not bovered' vibe that...

Re: Gloucester (Home) - Saturday 26th February 2022 - KO 3-00pm
Read on another forum that LRZ is carrying an ankle injury. Hopefully that means he gets a rest.... Not sure the Welsh aren’t going to pick him if he’s fit Well the Welsh haven't got him in their squad so he's not going to play for them. If the Welsh don't want to pick him though because he does ha...

Re: Ben Youngs
Mention of Jamie Hamilton reminds me of when he came on against Llanelli or Neath at Welford Road in the European cup, I groaned and mentioned to my Welsh neighbour on the terrace that he was probably our worst player, Jamie's first touch was to pick the ball up at a ruck and run straight through an...

Re: Bath (AWAY) - Saturday 19th February 2022 - KO 15:00
Unfortunately, as much as certain posters do not seems to understand, officiating does matter, and can easily change the result of the game. Even if they don't change the result, they can take the enjoyment out of watching it. What certain posters do not seems to understand is how tiresome it is to...

Re: GP / SIX NATIONS PLUS OTHERS - W/E 11-13TH FEBRUARY 2022
Geez, get a grip. Watching the game back, a lot of England’s issues were self-inflicted due to basic skill errors. You telling me these ‘good players’ can blame the coach for that? And do you think the French were a shambles last week as well? I certainly can blame the coach! there was little cohes...
