Philosophy that won the league was ' don't worry about making mistakes, and always do something a bit better than before'. Perfect opportunity to try to be better at the driving maul when the games won. I for one like it.Big Dai wrote: ↑Sun Oct 16, 2022 5:16 pmNot moaning at the result.....just be professional and close the game out.Rugbygramps wrote: ↑Sun Oct 16, 2022 5:06 pm It’s amazing that after the best performance of the season, will watch later, people still see the need to moan.
People were saying we could be on the end of another 50 pointer by a side that has been scoring 40 points for fun this season.

That was just what we needed, a result and a commanding performance.

Too much negativity about a silly mistake. It's the bulk of the game we should be celebrating.

Cracking performance. We tried some things in attack that didn't come off but there was a definite shift to fix the initial attack and then pop to an outside runner. Good to see that bit of improvement from the forwards attack.
Defence was immense, Scott has stuttered so far this season but what a return to his best that was. Awesome performance from him and Potter but a real shift in.
Montoya and Reffell were sensational at the breakdown. We all enjoyed Wells sit down hand off on Care as well didn't we.

Great performance today think today really showed how much we’ve missed Montoya and wiese they were both back to their best! Thought jvp was also good when he came on. Plenty of positives to take away from today an improved defence was the major improvement we made and actually thought potter did ok at centre today he made a few mistakes early on but after that I thought he settled in quite well. Think the most impressive thing is that they never really got anything going because we didn’t allow them to! Always thought we made a bad decision to let evans go however today refell outplayed him completely today and showed his class. My only slight worry after today is that are we forking out thousands on Watson who’s having to just chase kicks all day? He was pretty anonymous today and it wasn’t his fault at all but I think we need to start getting him involved a lot more otherwise it could be a lot of money for not a lot of return

Watson won’t be costing as much as some imagine, he was injured and it only a season long deal. I also think we will see the benefit of the deal when Steward is absent for November and the 6 nations and we have quality back up. Before anyone asks IMO it will take a few injuries for him to get back in the England squadamazing tiger wrote: ↑Sun Oct 16, 2022 7:35 pm Great performance today think today really showed how much we’ve missed Montoya and wiese they were both back to their best!

I’ve only seen a few highlights of this season’s matches but have read match reports and it seems that there’ve been some hit and miss performances. However, they’re 5th in the table after 6 matches, which isn’t exactly a disaster. The season is young and plenty of time to get some consistency so those who are showing some dissatisfaction should give Borthwick and his squad a bit of slack.

I noticed how Lawrence was talking on comms about how Quins have had a very difficult start to the season having already played all 3 other of last season's semifinalists.
It wasn't mentioned that we have also done that (all away) plus we've played Sale and Exeter also.
6 rounds in with those 5 played (4 of them away) to be 3 from 3 is fine.

2 away wins and a lbp at Exeter is no mean return from Exeter, Saints, Sarries, Quins away from home.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Sun Oct 16, 2022 8:28 pm I noticed how Lawrence was talking on comms about how Quins have had a very difficult start to the season having already played all 3 other of last season's semifinalists.
