We lost because we were nowhere near good enough,as we haven’t been for a very,very long time now. Club is broken,not sure it can be mended sadly
true but having fairly officiated games would be a start

How many times have we seen those ignored when against us?
all the time, I know people said it was due to Covid but if you can't get an entirely neutral officiating team for the games they shouldn't be played. People keep going on about player safety well how safe is it to have teams not playing by the same laws?

Ref was pathetic but he got no help in making the game fair

We weren’t good enough but by most observers the Toulon 2nd try and the pen v Genge on the 5m line and the Genge try were shocking decisions

Scott lift the arm on the record player, your record has been stuck for a couple of years. We know where we are, we know the hole is deep, but your constant misery is irritating beyond belief.

Sale buy a few players IMMEDIATE title contenders. Wasps bin Young after a bad run IMMEDIATE title contenders. Bath bin Blackadder IMMEDIATELY turn things around and are title contender. Why not us? Excuses have to stop!

None of the above excuses Fords day to forget - the kick to touch in the 2nd half killed us for 10-15mins

Shock horror we didn’t get the rub of the green. Ridiculous to overrule what was a pretty good score from Gengey at that (congrats on the newborn too pal!).

Yes Adamson et al was poor but woeful defence in the wide channels and a pretty awful performance from Ford at 10 see Toulon deserved winners.

Yeah that’s how it works mate, you new to this? Or are you just trolling for an arguement?

Sadly if the officials miss simple mistakes then its a mess. First try wrong, second try in at the side. On their line penalises us when their prop collapsed scrum. All round the ERC need to look at their officials as they're a mess. Ruins the game. Their pitch pathetic worse than a local rugby pitch.

Utterly rubbish argument. How many years has Diamond bought in a whole heap of new players? Plenty. This time, finally, it appears it might work for them. What do they say about an infinite amount of monkeys and typewriters?

Agree, on balance Toulon deserved to win but to have a 3 try swing due to obviously wrong refereeing decisions is pretty damn annoying.

It’s so frustrating though gents,this could’ve been avoided. The final nail was when AM was binned,we were hoodwinked by the “worldwide search,no stone unturned” and we hired MOC. That killed us,sad times!
