It’s so easy to be an armchair pundit, I get the attacks been pretty awful all day but the weather’s been awful, tactics aren’t in place yet and this team hasn’t played together. It’s so difficult to read someone sat at home handing out grief about the team he supposedly supports when they’re having an awful day. All I’m saying is judge the team at Christmas not now.
No you judge the team constantly not bury your head in the sand expecting jam later that view is precisely why we are where we are. It's time to end the rot we have had years of false dawn's
Honestly asking then, what should the club do now
I am just a supporter the club has misplaced its trust in Murphy he is simply inept and we should have employed a truly world class coaching team. Instead we have employed an attack coach who has never coached at this level, a head coach who has never coached at this level and a defence coach who was last seasons attack coach. Sounds like a recipe for success does it not ?

Get this in proportion chaps. Did anyone seriously think we were in with a chance against that team?
Tigers consisted of second team and academy players . Sinkler for instance would be a hard nut to crack
had we fielded Cole and Genge. Given the weather and CMK who hates us, this had a hiding to nothing all over it, long before they arrived at the ground. If during the new season we get stuffed like that then there will be some motive for the misery but tonight, see it for what it was, have a couple of pints and forget it.

I can only assume they are playing poker and not wanting to show their hand too early.
You watch, next season we'll come out all guns blazing!!

Fair comments it's not the fact that we lost that bothers me it's the complete absence of any semblance of a performance and the weather was the same for both teams.

I’m gonna be honest and say it’s difficult to employ ‘world class’ this and ‘world class’ that when you’re sitting at 11th in the premiership only above a team deducted points. Do remember, we’re not the place we used to be in terms of attraction for coaches

Are there any postives to Murphy being DoR? Other than him no longer being head coach?

Pay enough and they shall come, the club told fans they would scour the world for a world class coach and would employ the same agents that secured the signature of Eddie Jones for England. MOC rang up Tigers and said I am unemployed so give me the job and the rest is now horrible history.
