Saints Away

[DaveRave]

I thought it might take a while get get ourselves out of the coaching and recruitment hole RC dug us into, but we appear have managed to dig further into it.

[drc_007]

Forwards have been pitiful, I don't think the backs could do much with that platform,

[Bristol Tiger]

Good recruitment - Jonny May - our best player in two matches.

Otherwise awful

[HantsTiger]

May showing his class!

Other than Genge and May they should all be in tomorrow......

[Wes]

I simply can't believe what's happened to the tigers, the players are good, ertainly I don't think that waving a cheque book about is going to cure this. It looks like they don't have a clue what they are supposed to be doing. I get the backs are going to look appalling give the terrible forward work, but I strongly suspect that they would look no better at all against my local under 15 team....
Glad I'm not a coach and having to fix this shambles

For me WILLIAMS HAS TO START next week, Croft @6, Hamilton @ 8.

Is it just me dor does Kalamafoni improve alot more once Williams is on?

[HantsTiger]

Can someone tell me what Kalamafoni brings to the game? We need to sort the BR and if BOC is out we need Evans in otherwise we'll get nothing on the floor

[Wes]

In fairness that was a great try from May though

[strawclearer]

Austin Healey just described it as "fluffy and loose". Spot on, unfortunately.

[TigerCam]

You can have all the fancy backs in the world but the are pretty useless if there is set piece and therefore no ball?

[POSTIGER]

I'm not one for knee jerk reactions but this really worrying. The forwards we've recruited Kalamafoni and Ryan just don't look good enough and as much I rate Johnny May did we have to chuck in our strongest forward to get him? We are really missing Ed Slater imho.

[Big Dai]

I'm afraid that this was proof positive that 15 individuals do not make a team.

Absolutely! Concur, as dear Bill would say.

[RagingBull]

When is McGuigan back?

I like thacker but for me he is a impact player.

Would like to see next week something like
1) Genge, 2) McGuigan, 3) Cole
4) Williams, 5) Barrow
6) Croft, 7) BOC, 8) Hamilton
9) Harrison, 10) Ford
12) Toomua, 13) Smith
11) May, 14) Veainu, 15) Tait

16) Thacker, 17) Bateman, 18) Logo
19) Wells, 20) Mapaplangi
21) Youngs, 22) Ford, 23) Holmes

Got to give some players like Wells who in the AWC last year was at least aggressive a chance.



Smith at least was strong.

Spent £270 earlier today on tickets for the Sarries match.

You know the adverts for 'Purple Bricks' where the guy pours milk over his own head; or where the guy at the potter's wheel smashes his clay pot...........

[smalldell]

That was simply.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MOC will have to turn things round quickly

I am personally worried about the whole set up coaching wise...

GM -
RB

What are they bringing to the party?

Also Ford is not a good kicker for goal and every team needs one
