Yes, I have been accused of it on the forum before, even though in my opinion everyone does it so?

Re: Sale game moved - Teams up
I'm sorry to pick out one player again, I was not anti Wigglesworth, but last night he was absolutely terrible for a man signed for his experience. His box kicking was so predictable over and over, his collection of the ball from the rucks so slow, his first clearance was charged down and for all his experience why could he not have seen that interception pass, it was telegraphed, looping and so slow even if their player was offside he should have seen it and changed direction? Did he ever look like doing anything other?
Its wrong to blame our backs, they never saw a pass, we have good backs, let down by SH and FH, its no good saying we would have won with Ford in the side, its International week, so that's purely hypothetical. I also thought our starting 2nd row were anonymous.
Here's hoping for better next week, a game under our belts after a long lay off and hopefully JVP to start to give us some urgency. I'm not sure who will be at FH, I wish we had seen more that 45 mins of Bonilla previously, to really judge his ability.

Most post on this forum are confirmation bias, I do it. I think every forum posters do it.

Re: Sale game moved - Teams up
For example if contributor (a) was to write 'The last time we played Sale at home in the Premiership with Murphy as Head Coach.... we WON 19-15' and contributor (b) was to write something along the lines of 'Yes. That was one of the 10+/- games that Murphy won out of the 40+/- that he was in charge.' Both contributors would be demonstrating confirmation bias - but only one would seem to believe that they alone were immune to the behaviour, which in itself is really interesting. In fact just about everything on this trail is a product of confirmation bias.

Re: Sale game moved - Teams up
So during 6N's we have
Sale (H) ZERO points
Worcester (H)
Quins (A)
Wasps (H)
Bristol (A)
Irish (H)
Gloucester (A)
Exeter (A)
My hope is for 5 wins and around 21 points
I would take winning our next 3 home games and 1 away win from Gloucester or Quins
Minimum would be 3 wins and a LBP or 2 for me to be alright.

Re: Sale game moved - Teams up
I'm not at all immune to confirmation bias when I'm making an argument. However, in this instance, I haven't made an argument one way or another so no I have not displayed confirmation bias on this occasion. Neither have you, likewise you've just stated a fact. All you've displayed is your petty desperation to have a go at me because I disagreed with you a week ago.Traveller wrote: ↑Sat Jan 30, 2021 4:34 pmFor example if contributor (a) was to write 'The last time we played Sale at home in the Premiership with Murphy as Head Coach.... we WON 19-15' and contributor (b) was to write something along the lines of 'Yes.

If we play like last night it will be bonus to get 5 points, let alone 5 victories.RagingBull wrote: ↑Sat Jan 30, 2021 4:53 pm So during 6N's we have

It would of been interesting the crowd reaction to that performance.
To win is not as important as playing with style!

Re: Sale game moved - Teams up
Think that is excessive, we lost by 10 to a top 4 team, we played the better rugby for large parts, and spent 20min short a man. Play like that, I reckon we win about 2 or 3 games, play like we have this season and 5 games is doable.Wayne Richardson Fan Club wrote: ↑Sat Jan 30, 2021 5:34 pmIf we play like last night it will be bonus to get 5 points, let alone 5 victories.RagingBull wrote: ↑Sat Jan 30, 2021 4:53 pm So during 6N's we have

Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.
Re: Sale game moved - Teams up
Nonetheless, the reality is we have dropped to 7th unable to manage even a bonus point

Re: Sale game moved - Teams up
And the reality is, that if you ignore the games called off for covid, we are winning fewer league points per match than we did in 18/19 while finishing 11th.
Still, there's plenty to be positive about.

Re: Sale game moved - Teams up
We played better rugby? Than who? My old school team? We played no rugby at all, let alone better. Playing like that we may get one or two losing bonus points, no more. We need an attack that realises that they are allowed to run and pass before we win games.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Sat Jan 30, 2021 5:40 pmThink that is excessive, we lost by 10 to a top 4 team, we played the better rugby for large parts, and spent 20min short a man.

Re: Sale game moved - Teams up
With Murphy in charge I had no idea what our game plan was.
With Borthwick it's crystal clear and it bores me to tears.
