BFG didn't say George shirks tackles, he certainly tries his best but frequently gives more yards than a better defender would do. Try reading what other people write.
Ever heard of marquee players?
And as for your last hypocritical sentence, try reading what you have written about BY when you clearly simply do not understand what he is doing. If I can understand it, it is not difficult so perhaps you should try watching a simpler game.
Blaming GF for Bath's failure is not exactly logical. He was still getting picked for England remember, and they had a whole load of issues off field. His play was never the issue.

And wading into the rest of the arguments on here :smt027

One thing that most of us agree with is that on paper our squad is better than current form. I agree with BFG in theory the pack seems OK, but there's no denying that we haven't dominated anyone in the forwards (excluding the scrum), and blaming the half backs as a result is harsh to say the least.

Who was talking about Ben Young’s? Blaming George ford for his lack or size is like blaming some people on here for their low I .Q.

Don't understand how getting to the clubs first prem final in a decade, scoring 625 points and 72 tries as lacklustre on top of getting to the first european quarter final in 6 years narrowly losing to Leinster away 18-15.

also marquee player can't be Ford for other clubs not till 2 years after, also believe we can get academy credits on him again (I think).

These are facts too I'm afraid ,the stats are very easy to find but just by watching our games you can tell how poor collectively a pack we have bar scrum time.
Not even like they are making it up in defence, outside cole and maybe youngs not many "dominant hits" from the forwards.

What do you expect of a team that is structurally lined up like for like in attack and then defends mismatched!
Surely though despite opinion you must've seen Bateman carry!
You two should meet but please film it and post, it'd be a proper laugh!

You castigate others for not backing Leicester players yet you are happy to call Ben the weak link. That is hypocrisy. What do you not understand?
Nobody is blaming George for his lack of size as far as I am aware. Indeed I believe he has worked hard to bulk up. But everybody who is not excessively one eyed knows that he is not the greatest defensive player.
The list of sports you possess the intellectual capacity to follow would appear to be getting shorter.

Thanks RB.
Yet still they sacked his dad.
I think marquee is one year per c(ii)/d(i) unless I'm reading it wrong so for one season only it would be a case of either fit in somehow or pay the penalty figure a la Harlequins.

Correct. But it is not his fault no more than it is h’s dads. They just are incapable of logical thinking.

Whatever planet you are on beam me up Scotty!
Nothing wrong with a bit of humour, there used to be a lot more of it on here but unfortunately nowadays it is nowhere near as enjoyable.
There is no right and wrong here, only opinion.
You have changed your tune on Ford dramatically since this time last year at which time you were extremely critical and much more than I have ever been, not that you're not entitled to do so but explaining the foundation of your change of opinion might be interesting especially given our league position.
If it's the difference between right and wrong you're looking for then look no further than your claim that Ghiraldini was playing in the Saracens penalty try debacle when he wasn't even in the 23, or Umaga's age difference with Hardwick from RB that is completely wrong, these are actual facts.
A sensible debate and crossover of opinions has never been easy but recently topics have become dominated to a very childish level from the same posters.

Sorry trendy, it developed from the suggestion of any difference in value between Ford and Manu, if indeed there is any.

And that is part of why I put the comment re post on the correct thread - so far we have had sacking coaches, Shazam and Toomua combo, what our forward carries stats mean, performance of our forwards, GF's dad getting the sack, GF bulking up - and that is in the last 16 posts and nothing about Manu going to Racing which is what I would like to know about. Oh I forgot people complaining about posts being on the wrong thread :smt007

As far as I know nothing has changed and Manu is still thinking it over.
I heard him on the radio yesterday and that he is currently concentrating on the six nations and will decide after.
I got the impression that the offer away is a huge draw but leaving the Tigers or not is the big decision.
