Saints away - Saturday 30th November

[Jimmy Skitz]

when stuff like that happens I start to wonder whether a match fixing investigation needs to take place (slight hyperbole), the sheer absentmindedness of it is baffling

[G.K]

What an absolute shambles Tigers are, the only we they'll get off 11th position is when Saffas eventually overhaul them.

Murphs has to go - I've been saying it for over a year now.

[Dr H Flashman MBE]

Well that was the nail in the coffin. What a complete mess. This whole game is a mess for us. I am pro Murphy and wouldn’t want anyone to lose their job but the stats show just how utterly poor we are. Shame as I thought we could do something today.
The calls for Murphys head will be deafening now I feel.

[Tiglon]

That's basically an own goal. Throwing a long line out on your own 5m line whilst your players aren't looking....

When an opposition player is stood in the exact spot you're throwing to. Wood barely had to move for it...

[Mark62]

We are so narrow both attack and defence

[mol2]

Defence AWOL. Tackles a case of "After You"
Line out a shambles.

Looking at the teams only a handful of their players would get into our side yet they are thumping us.

Are we going to wait for relegation before changes are made?

[wellstiger]

Saints playing cute. Were playing dumb.
With the inclusion of our internationals we are playing like a pub team.
Murphs plan aint working - the Youngs need a pervebial kick up the a....e

[Phil B]

If the team with the most ball is likely to win the game (not always, of course!), but generally, then if you want to lose the game, why not keep giving it to them? It helps, and is definitely helping today. (I am not suggesting we are trying to lose BTW).
But If you lose a game, it's not necessarily because one is rubbish, one might be unlucky. But as I type this, we are rubbish, and I can see no hope for us, either now, or in the weeks ahead. What on earth has happened to us? How has this come about?

[drc_007]

The kicking must be a tactic, who thought it would be a good idea?

[Greenwhiteandred]

Saints not only outplaying is but outthinking is. 2 experienced World Cup finalists at 9 and 10 constantly kicking the ball down the throat of Saints players whilst they are a man down. Meanwhile they kick to the corners to run the clock down

Defence not so much gone awol as their feet and power are beating us every time

We have a BoD who keep appointing coaches who arent up to the job which I would strongly suggest that they (the BoD) arent either.

Although it’s a dumb idea in and of itself, it’s compounded by the slowest defensive line speed ever

[markharbtiger]

After four tries against (the last during a man advantage) I am unsure I can keep watching. Whatever the game plan was, I am unsure that kicking continually to Saints backs is the right idea. They must think Christmas has come early! Boyd has certainly done an excellent job coaching Saints.

So which excuse will Murphy use this week - perm one of three. When will he go???
