Re: Tigers v Saints
Don't think you can blame Blake for the lazy defending on show. For the second try BOC is just walking from the breakdown leaving a massive gap for Saints to exploit. If Saints make yards off of first phase when they go wide then they are guaranteed to make yards on second phase because our pack is jogging back and not in position to put any line speed on. Let's not even go there on the missed tackles.cheltexile wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2019 8:28 pmIt's almost like filling out your coaching team by plucking out the cheapest candidates from a decade old rolodex isn't a sound strategy for building a competitive rugby team.CitizenSmiff wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2019 8:23 pm What's Phil Blake been doing with his days, other than checking his accumulators?

Re: Tigers v Saints
My thoughts exactly Big Dai, and I care not that this opinion may not be shared.

I wouldn't mind if it was Tigers marrying style and substance.

Another gimmick form the commercial department. How low can you sink for publicity Chris?

Exactly, they could have at least waited until the hotel is finished...
No, not that one!
Remember, whatever you do to the smallest of the backs you do to his prop, and you can't avoid the rucks and mauls forever...
I know you don't like it when I boo him but how else will he know he's wrong?

Re: Tigers v Saints
One dimensional, clueless, rudderless, tackling optional it seems. Players don’t want to be on the pitch. Horrendous to watch. Saints on the other hand full of energy, ideas, pacey, physical.

Re: Tigers v Saints
Yes but I'm fairly certain his tactics don't include walking back into the line and giving dumb penalties away. Then there's falling off tackles...POSTIGER wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2019 8:53 pmsam16111986 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2019 8:45 pmcheltexile wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2019 8:28 pm

I'm a fan of Tom Youngs but he's a terrible captain. Barnes is having a terrible game and we've not been in his ear once. Not once has he asked any questions s of Barnes decisions and some of them would be embarrassing for a ref at social level.

Re: Tigers v Saints
Got to say Murphy does need to go.
Either that or get in a Gatland at DOR with Murphy to learn under him or something like that.
That being said I can't wait to get rid of some of these players like Williams, Kitchener, O'Connor especially.
Tom, Cohen and Glynn these are the 3 that need getting rid of before anyone else.
