Which is one of the reasons why Dickson shouldn't be refereeing at this level.
Tigers for the premiership and European Cup. Get behind the team and make some noise!!

What about Exeter losing their groove?ourla wrote: ↑Sat Jan 09, 2021 11:30 pmI think all the other matches in this round show it's still the exception rather than the rule.BFG wrote: ↑Sat Jan 09, 2021 1:48 pmYou're not sure though.
Bath came back from the first lockdown looking physically superior, they're still having strong starts in matches but it's possible that they are starting to fade with fatigue and that is opening up more space.
Personally if it protects players health long term then I'm all for it.
It's not what we've become used to but it's certainly entertaining.
We will see.
It looks to me like the very well drilled sides with the big physical approach are struggling more now than they were last season.
The more recently promoted sides are coping well.
The exception are Wasps and they were already building for plan A, B and C.
I think the disruption to training methods is possibly having a levelling up effect.
What would be interesting is if we begin to witness a drop in serious injuries!
Re: Gallagher Premiership Round 6
Exeter really missed Ewers this week, he's an essential player for them. Add the lack of Vermeulen and Kirsten and they just didn't have the physicality. Hogg and Nowell make their back line a completely different proposition.
I wouldn't be too worried if I was a Chiefs fan, they've lost to the 2 next best teams in the league with 5 key players missing - hardly a disaster. Well done to Bristol though, a good performance.
Still not convinced by Sheedy, two huge errors in that game that could have let Exeter back in.
Randall is brilliant to watch, but will Eddie ever pick that kind (and size) of player?

Re: Gallagher Premiership Round 6
When he first came through, I thought Dickson showed promise as a referee but it takes time to get rid of biases, dislikes etc of other players and clubs that you have as a player. Yesterday also wasn't the first time that Dickson has demonstrated that he frankly doesn't have a clue when it comes to scrums but very few refs do at the moment.voice of the crumbie wrote: ↑Sun Jan 10, 2021 12:28 pmWhich is one of the reasons why Dickson shouldn't be refereeing at this level.

Draw it isOakhamTiger32 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 09, 2021 3:58 pmThat’s correct. Draw would be niceRagingBull wrote: ↑Sat Jan 09, 2021 3:54 pm 5 points from 4th and 9 points from bottom.
If Quins lose we will go 6th I believe.
Tigers up into 6th
Re: Gallagher Premiership Round 6
Really enjoyed that one. Smith should have been in the bin for the last 5 minutes, he played very well though.
Parton at full back for Irish was outstanding. Their scrum, not so much.
The draw was probably a fair result.

Don't get too excited. Sorry to be the Negative Nancy again, but more than 40% of our league points have come from games that didn't happen.OakhamTiger32 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 10, 2021 4:59 pmDraw it isOakhamTiger32 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 09, 2021 3:58 pmThat’s correct.

Re: Gallagher Premiership Round 6
I am excited. Lots of other teams points have come that way too not just us. We have beaten Glos and Bath and earned 9 points and had 6 (potentially) as a result of COVID protocols. We have also 9 from a possible 10 against French opposition in Europe.Tiglon wrote: ↑Sun Jan 10, 2021 5:05 pmDon't get too excited.

So I am excited. Well, far more excited than at any point in the past few seasons! And there’s not much to be excited about right now so I’ll cling on to this one!
Re: Gallagher Premiership Round 6
Fair enough, not going to begrudge you a bit of excitement! There are really only 4 teams that look clearly stronger than us at the moment, so plenty to be hopeful about.OakhamTiger32 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 10, 2021 5:17 pmI am excited.
