DMK seems like a bloke who spouts less nonsense than some other coaches, I get the feeling that he would be even more candid, but is not allowed to be/or is good at keeping himself in check. That for me is some progression & to be fair to the bloke bar a missed Quins kick he hasn't had much good luck.
To win is not as important as playing with style!

Shame that the RFC salary cap hinders English teams against French and Irish teams, only exception is Saints who to be fair are playing great rugby.

Should be a walk in the park vs an Injury/banned Munster team.

Do I get sin binned for such an observation?

In DMK I trust.
I wish more people would. This talk of replacing him after less than a season is plain daft imo. There is a failure to see that success for clubs comes after time. Borthwick tenure was very much the exception
Absolutely agree: see Mark McCall, Rob Baxter, Johan Van Graan, and even Phil Dowson to an extent. They’ve all had their ups and downs.

The fact we are 3 points off the top 4, and clearly not firing on all cylinders, is a fairly decent showing for his first year. That’s not even a win, that’s a draw with a bonus point!
I agree.. and i think it has been possible to see glimpses of where DMK wants to take the team. It has been a tough season so far but i have faith that he will be successful.

Don't hold your breath for any positive comments about Tigers.
I used to sit near a stalker and we want him back "kick for the corner!!!!"
