Re: London Wasps v Leicester
I would have taken 2 points before the game and thought the 1st half was the best first 40 mins we have done so far.
Disappointed with what transpired second half, but it is these times when we really need to work and improve & come back stronger.
Losing to stains & pests away is not the end of the season by a long shot, but the manner of the second half performance must be just a blip - and hopefully was.
We are still a top 4 team, just struggling to adapt to the new interpretations.
Our first choice XV is a match for anyone (although Stains are looking like #1).
Come on Tigers !
Summary of game :
Thought Slater did well 1st half & Scott Hamilton. Line out looking much better and scrum still solid. Attacking play good, but penalty count in defence back up again ! Waldrom improving but needs to play head up rugby. Manu & Agulla more game time please.
Thought their no 10 had a great game & kept them in it. Ultimately he was the difference between the teams.

I lay the blame at Cocker's feet for that as do some others on here. Do they need to get a grip as well?watsonjm wrote:One and the same im affaird, what you say represents you.

For a professional outfit that was capitulation! The half time talk should have been about pressure on their kicker, maintaining the intensity and not letting go. If 36 is not up to the mark then it's the mangements responsibility to make sure we have the resourses that are.
The squad is thin, in my view, as a result of poor signings and mismangement.
Never heard of the wage cap? We have flood, jazzer and ford. As it happens there all injured.
What do you want? The whole bench to be cover for 10?
Get a grip!
Yes

36 our saviour? You're having a giraffe. Don't be too hard on Smurf, as soon as Jezza went off 36 and Woods let Walder play. He was class!
Cockerill out!.............and take that grey shirt with you. Mid table at best this year!

Re: London Wasps v Leicester
Why the Grey Shirts they are a Change not an away (per se) Shirt.
As for the game 10 more mins of Jezza & we would of won, 36 good at 12, not helped at 10 by having someone even less experienced at 12, the 9,10, 12 axis in the 2nd Half were pups.
Waldrom is getting better by the game (despite some peoples views), Smith proved that he is far better than mosts' opinion of him.
Woods has been outplayed in all 3 games this season, Chuter has been below par & Skivington hasn't got started yet.
More worryingly was the complete lack of use of the bench to shake things up, surely Mafi/Hawkins/Pienaar would not of been any worse.
Alex has got to be dropped as it might teach him to DROP on the ball!!!!!!!

To win is not as important as playing with style!

Apologies, I let the moment and the situation get away from me due to frustration. I meant no personal offence.

Twice in your post you used the word "of" rather than the correct "have".
I know we are not all teachers or former grammar school pupils but such ignorance causes to me gnash my teeth and feel unwell.
Where on earth were you not educated?

Re: London Wasps v Leicester
I watched the game yesterday over here in sunny Spain and I thought at halftime that we were back to our normal ways...then the second half came along!
What a :censored: mess that was and for us not to score ANY points in that half was terrible. Okay, we lost Jezza, but it still no real excuse for his absence didn't cause us to drop the ball or in Alex's case, fail to drop ON it...and for Geo to wait for the bounce, well that is schoolboy stuff.
Wasps continue to be out thorn in the rear and at the way we are going right now, every team will be!
If we can now bottle the first half against the Wasps with the second half against Exeter and bring that to the game, we will be back to our normal game.

Re: London Wasps v Leicester
How come we didn't just walk in 14 or 15 tries past that useless Varndell bloke I've heard so much about?
We all know he can't defend, can't tackle, doesn't try, doesn't care, isn't a real man....
Just ask the know-it-alls on this forum.
However, he appears to have scored two tries against us.
Is it possible that certain righteous members of this forum GOT IT WRONG?

Re: London Wasps v Leicester
I would love to see these people bashing players get to the standard these players are playing at. A couple of years (well actually a fair few) when paul sackey was playing at bedford me and some friends managed to get into and watch part of a training session. Then we were invited at each of us having a go at tackling paul sackey whilst he was at a gentle jog. It took 3 of us to get him down and I think he went over in sympathy then.
