Sarries wouldn’t have scored those tries at the end if we weren’t chasing the game already, from two stupid lapse of concentration.

Toomua wouldn’t have flung that pass, for example.

Looking at the team sheets did anyone expect anything else? Come on this Tigers team lacks quality and leadership. Saracens have an ingrained game plan their B team sticks too. Our A team doesn’t have a style of play so therefore our B team find it much more difficult.

Murphy can’t exactly work miracles with the players he has.

I don’t blame Toomua for throwing the intercept pass it was the right option. As for their last try it was clear crossing by Strettle. Ref had so little idea that he had to receive a lecture by the linesman every scrum.

It was the right option because we had to chase the game.
My point is that he wouldn't have thrown that pass if we hadn't been 8 points down, due to some stupid moments (Like Holmes not gathering that ball).

I’m hoping ellis9 will be seeing a silver lining somewhere. But it isn’t looking good. Yes we’ve got players missing...but

We're 12 points from relegation, and 3 points from top 6.

But yes we are currently playing for 11th....

Good first half, poor game management in the second half. Austin said it. Our squad isn't good enough to cope with the absentees. Thinking about it it's barely good enough with everyone available.
Not top dogs anymore, are we? No leadership. Oh, for the likes of Wig, Moody, Corry, Back and Johnno to grab the game by the short and curlies.
There is hope....the Worth made a good impression today. Tomoua? Has his head already gone.
Disappointed. I could moan........but no one listens........off to drown me sorrows.

Toomua’s head has gone, last year he ran the show, this time he didn’t want to play, might as well send him home now and play Hardwick. Those two missed penalties were criminal.

Matched them in stats and up on points for the best part of 60 minutes.

Their bench, which we all knew was far stronger than ours, was the difference. The final score flattered them. Disappointing as I thought we had a chance at half time but not totally unexpected. Any points from this game were always a bonus.

The manic depressives of the forum should really go see their GPs.

Yet Ben Kay, Rory Underwood and Glyn all carry on in their respective positions as if they have nothing to do with the shambles our club has become. Until these teflon men are all removed nothing will ever change and thats why we are where we are!

Last year we where against a weaker Saracens bench with a stronger team.

9. Fit Harrison
13. Tuilagi
14. Thompstone
15. Veainu

Add those into our backs and things might have looked different.
