What do Sarries fans think?
We all know that Farrell is lucky to be on the Lions tour, and he showed exactly that yesterday. His performance was poor in my opinion (though not uncharacteristically). So, to double check that I dont just have my Tigers goggles on, I went on the Sarries website in search of some Barnet based opinions. Now, I couldn't find a forum or message board on there for love nor money, do they have one? Does anyone know if they are blind to the tripe that we saw yesterday?
On a seperate note, Phillips has made it very difficult for Youngs, I'd be very surprised to see our lad picked to start a test (early to say that I know, but I think we all know that wasn't a performance out of character by the Welshman).

Mixed opinions on Sarries forum, but more supporting Faz and condemning Brits than the other way round.

What do Sarries fans think? That's a silly question, Sarries fans don't think! They have to be lined up and told to march and wave their hands about!
Of course this is my own opinion and other posters may have a different perceived factual viewpoint.

Does anybody really care?
I could agree with you...but then we'd both be wrong.

Re: What do Sarries fans think?
^Not a lot. I don't mind Farrell reacting to someone punching him in the face, but waving ect is the exact kind of pathetic behaviour that comes from the Saracens culture.
His performance was pretty rubbish. Phillips' was very good, but I'm trying to think how any scrum half could have possibly had a bad game with that kind of an armchair ride. The Baabaas defence and work from the front 5 in particular was awful.

Re: What do Sarries fans think?
Just been on their forum - deluded or what? This isn't a Flood v Farell argument which they allude to. Its just that Faz jnr isn't up so the mark. And before any one suggests it I'm not saying that it's a Tigers v Safas thing it's just that Owennis over hyped and not up to the mark

Still keeping the faith!
Re: What do Sarries fans think?
I do recall Alessana & Lewis had a punch up playing internationally, although I don't think either were waving to the ref!
Perhaps not one we should gloat about.

Alesana and Lewis's punch up was initiated by Mark Cueto being taken out in the air, not by some petulant shirt-grabbing.mol2 wrote:I do recall Alessana (sic) & Lewis had a punch up playing internationally, although I don't think either were waving to the ref! Perhaps not one we should gloat about.

Re: What do Sarries fans think?
I haven’t found others to be quite so derogatory about Farrell on other clubs forums’ current threads. I’ve only had a quick look but are you sure you are quite as impartial as you seem to be claiming?rocktop51 wrote:Just been on their forum - deluded or what?

I’m not necessarily disagreeing with you, just trying to be devil’s advocate.

Re: What do Sarries fans think?
Others don't have a quality English fly half against which to compare Farrell and therefore are not in a position to make comment.

Re: What do Sarries fans think?
So "This isn't a Flood v Farell argument" but only Tigers fans are qualified to comment because Nick Evans isn't English (or Welsh or Scottish or Irish as we're looking at the Lions and excluding Nick) and nobody else is any good.Smurphswillgetya wrote:Others don't have a quality English fly half against which to compare Farrell and therefore are not in a position to make comment.

Re: What do Sarries fans think?
IMO Tigers possess two better 10's in Flood and Lamb. This was the case last season also with Flood and Ford. Farrell is a good player but he is nowhere near being the best English fly half in world rugby. Much is made of his defence but I think even this area is overrated and some of his habits are tiresome. It is not a saffas thing for me, he simply would not even be in my top ten of English qualified 10's.
