Re: Sarries vs Tigers
Sarries 15 is ridiculously strong considering the time of year but bench not so.
If its close at 60mins I'd back us.

Re: Sarries vs Tigers
No Barrow in the squad is my only surprise. We can win as long as we believe we can and front up.
There is never any points for 2nd place...
Re: Sarries vs Tigers
If nothing else the game will be a test of fortitude and commitment? Certainly a big test for Bakewell's influence on the forwards. It has to be direct as any lateral play will just meet the Sarries 'brickwall' defence and create forced errors and kicking possession away. For a Sarries side as strong as that without Rhodes and Skelton etc, I will be best pleased with an LBP. I don't think 'Lady Luck' will deliver a win but the game hasn't been played yet!!

And smash the gain line. If we start going back Sarries will smother us and we will be up feacal river without propulsion. We need to make the hard yards and don’t let them push through our defence at will. Other than that, all good!!

Re: Sarries vs Tigers
Good Tigers side but a ridiculously strong Sarries team considering who they are missing!
Still hoping....!

Would've liked to see Worth on the bench. All in all a good team, hopefully this weekend is when they give a full performance... we're definitely due one.

Re: Sarries vs Tigers
for Taf starting and Hamilton back (although I'd have started him with Williams benched). Would have liked Simmons to start and Worth to bench in place of Ford.
Happy days clearing straw from the pitch before the Baa-Baas games! KBO

Re: Sarries vs Tigers
Well spotted teds. But they still have a back line of Goode, Earle, Wyles, Barritt, Bosch, Spencer and Lozowski, plus a back row of Burger, Clark and Wray. In all seriousness how do they afford that depth of squad without breaching the you know what?!!teds wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2018 1:45 pmI think Liam Williams is starting for Wales.Soggypitch wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2018 8:41 am Ok we have a few out but Sarries have lost Vunipola x 2, Itoje, Kruis, George, Farrell, Wrigglesworth......any others I've missed?
I was just moaning to my son about it being a 3.30 KO and overlapping with England, when he advised me it is a Sunday game....hooray, one of the few occasions when that pleases me!!

is a whole lot cheaper?
That said I think players salaries should be published.
Re: Sarries vs Tigers
Check their bench... it's an Anglo-Welsh Cup bench. They have depth, but it's not ridiculous.Soggypitch wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2018 2:49 pmWell spotted teds.

If you talk about depth, we have seven full international props on our books, plus Bateman and Traynor. We invest heavily in some positions, other teams do in other positions.

If you're so keen on the public knowing how much everyone earns, you surely won't mind sharing?
Re: Sarries vs Tigers
I don't think it would be a bad idea to at least list the salary bands and what type of workers fit in to those bands.
