Are you watching Bath v Exeter:Geordan?
Ok. Only minutes gone but Bath aren’t kicking the ball back to Exeter and should be 10-0 up but for dropping the ball with defence split.
Against Exeter only the fittest forwards should be picked and certainly the players that are staying!
There is enough talent and spirit in the squad but the reality is we need back to back wins then a third might come.
Heads cannot go down and that is a worry as they did v Saints after 20 minutes whereas both Worcester and Newcastle went behind and then fought back.
Beat Exeter and more teams will be dragged into the relegation battle.
No cheap talk either as I, like many others are fed up with hearing how we are going to put things right: just bl— — dy do the talking on the pitch.
Bath run the ball back again and go 10-3 up.
Come on Geordan and Tigers: keep hold of the ball instead of so much kicking. Use the backs we have instead of booting the ball away.
If Tigers don’t do this then I fear, like last season teams will beat us including Newcastle and Bristol.

I agree totally with you as well as applauding your effort of making a post without mentioning Richard Cockerill

Just to try and inject a bit of positivity, it's also just a cracking game to watch.

Re: Are you watching Bath v Exeter:Geordan?
This isn't the way we want to play though is it? We wanted to move away from Tigers style (now Exeter's style) as that was boring. Apparently.

Forget this,get on R92 v Bordeaux!

I flicked over for 30 seconds. Flat atmosphere, fake pitch and quite frankly, not the Premiership.
Re: Are you watching Bath v Exeter:Geordan?
But miles better rugby,night and day! Some world class back play

In what way?
I think the way Exeter are playing is fantastic.

Have you been watching the game?! Forget the French international team which is a farce, R92, Toulouse,Clermont,Lyon,La Rochelle play some incredible stuff!

Are they? That will be a first mauling? Multiphase? I watch all 3 big leagues,don't count the PRO14 because it's just a vehicle for either international or European rugby and have to say although I'm invested in the GP because of Tigers and the league produces the most emotion,passion,atmosphere etc as a purist the GP is the third best with the Top14 and SR on par. Of course all 3 leagues have stinkers but their best games beat ours for pace,skills and intensity.

What you're talking about is pretty, easy on the eye rugby.
If you're a purist, the way Exeter play would excite you.
Re: Are you watching Bath v Exeter:Geordan?
Not necessarily,a purists view can take many forms. But if you put the four best teams of each league in one league I wouldn't put a tenner on an English team to win it even if you give me 100/1 odds put it that way.
