Thought Saints thoroughly deserved it. We were so one dimensional. Disappointing
We might miss out on HC the way we are going! It’s not unthinkable

That was pretty much self inflicted, dropped passes, missed kicks and lack of thought.

With that game plan I would worry that WW could loss the dressing room.

9 should have been changed earlier.
Freddie at the first sign of cramp.
Kick for points if the line out is failing as its is.

I’m not sure we can blame the referee or Wells accidental collision for that loss, it’s our conversion rate from opportunities that we create, compounded by brainless moments that cost us.

For instance, once again we turn down an easy 3 pts and go to our line out which we’re not scoring from. Why keep backing the line out and driving maul, can we not see it’s not working? And pretty much the story of the last 5/6 games.

Those 3 pts would’ve won us the game

When performances like that are a one off it’s okay but when they become the norm it’s time to be very worried! Too many now ,what’s wrong?!

TBH both teams were unable to field their strongest players so it was a bit of a lottery. I just didn't understand all the continual kicking to Saints backs...

Dealt what now seems to be a massive blow, lacking our internationals and clearly the current coaching team haven't got it. Pity we didn't get in early for EJ for the rest of the season :smt005 . Not going to get in the play offs unless a significant change of tactics occurs. :smt009
(I will be choked if the epic cheats win though, I'm one of those (not confined to Tigers, and a lot at Chiefs) who think penalties should've been worse).

Yet again we lose a game we should have won but for the fact our internationals were away.
I simply hate the autumn internationals and how it affects us.
The sooner they scrap them the better.

There was enough quality and experience in the team to have won that! Not talking about you specifically but there always seems to be excuses lately

Yeah, but we understood the point made. I never understand why we carry on playing domestic league fixtures during internat windows but I suppose it's all down to money.
