They're looking almost exactly how they did early on, play some good stuff, create a lead then fail to consolidate and allow the opponents to roll over them, particularly late on.
To be fair, I am judging based on the final score and the timing of the scoring - did not watch today's game but it's spookily similar to how they played early season.

I don't think they were as abject as they were in the first part of the season when everyone was calling for Hooper to go, they played pretty well the first half and were causing Exeter a lot of issues on the wings, I'm sure having Cokanasiga back helps in that regard.WhitecapTiger wrote: ↑Sat Apr 02, 2022 5:03 pmThey're looking almost exactly how they did early on, play some good stuff, create a lead then fail to consolidate and allow the opponents to roll over them, particularly late on.

Without doubt he makes a difference and, as I said, comment based on end result rather than performance - which were also reasons for Hooper's head being called for.wigworth wrote: ↑Sat Apr 02, 2022 5:20 pmI don't think they were as abject as they were in the first part of the season when everyone was calling for Hooper to go, they played pretty well the first half and were causing Exeter a lot of issues on the wings, I'm sure having Cokanasiga back helps in that regard.WhitecapTiger wrote: ↑Sat Apr 02, 2022 5:03 pmThey're looking almost exactly how they did early on, play some good stuff, create a lead then fail to consolidate and allow the opponents to roll over them, particularly late on.

They were causing a number of teams problems in the first halves of matches even earlier in the season, then dropping off a cliff, a bit like today's scoreline tends to imply/suggest - or maybe Exeter just stepped it up more towards the end, as they did against us last week but we were good enough to knock them back.

But their results as of late have got better as opposed to the 9 losses on the bounce or whatever it turned into at the start of the season. I don't think they could really challenge any top 4 teams for a win as they do still seem to lack a bit of grunt in the pack but I could defiantly see them being competitive against pretty much everyone else.WhitecapTiger wrote: ↑Sat Apr 02, 2022 5:30 pmWithout doubt he makes a difference and, as I said, comment based on end result rather than performance - which were also reasons for Hooper's head being called for.wigworth wrote: ↑Sat Apr 02, 2022 5:20 pmI don't think they were as abject as they were in the first part of the season when everyone was calling for Hooper to go, they played pretty well the first half and were causing Exeter a lot of issues on the wings, I'm sure having Cokanasiga back helps in that regard.WhitecapTiger wrote: ↑Sat Apr 02, 2022 5:03 pm

I imagine it's a case of wait for highlights show. To be honest tho, it didn't get a mention at half time or at the end of the match, so I can only assume I really do need to get my eyes tested !

All I saw was shoulder to chin. The lads got a big beard but not big enough to hide a rugby ball in ! Radrada certainly wasn't happy and gestured to Biggar to keep his tackles lower.

Not seen it but the stills I've seen of it show shoulder hitting the head...
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Biggar was never in a position to make a legal tackle, pretty much jumps into it. He was a very lucky boy and his reaction afterwards showed he knew it. Seen tackles like that go red no one would have said a thing if that was where Dickson went with it. Stunned it wasn't even a yellow.Scott1 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 02, 2022 10:00 pmSome have said he bounced high off the ball,be interesting to see itTigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Sat Apr 02, 2022 9:42 pm Not seen it but the stills I've seen of it show shoulder hitting the head...
