He should be embarrassed being on the board of this shower! How can it be any different next week? We can't tackle or string together an attack regardless of the 15 we put out....WiggoTiger wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 7:16 pm Ben Kay says team for next Sunday different to todays. Why would it be?

Re: Castres vs Tigers
Yeah the only purpose in putting a full side out next week would be to try and avoid further embarrassment and possibly prevent sackings.WiggoTiger wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 7:16 pm Ben Kay says team for next Sunday different to todays.

Gutless, inept, no direction. Regrettably after 25 years looking like season ticket cancellation.

I don't think Thacker has such a negative effect on the scrum as people make out.Spicer wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 7:14 pmI may of missed that one as the bathroom beckoned. I think it was Rizzo, TPN and Betts who got pushed backwards. I'll hold my judgments off for now.RagingBull wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 7:10 pm The scrum where it was Bateman, TPN and Betts held firmly enough.

I reckon if one expedited a straw poll, that the Board, Coaches and half the squad would receive their P45

Re: Castres vs Tigers
Sadly this isn't an overreaction but is absolutely how it is. We've been an embarrassment in the HC this season.

Re: Castres vs Tigers
What annoys me is that on paper our team wasn't that bad. It wasn't a AWcup team. It was our second picks, against there second picks. We had only 3 really young players starting (Evans, C. Thacker and Worth).
What happened to Harrison? He has gone off a cliff in the last two years. J. Ford make Ryan Lamb look like a brilliant fly half.

I think that is the biggest issue too many senior (24+) players who are not good enough covering the talent.Spicer wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 7:28 pm What annoys me is that on paper our team wasn't that bad.

Re: Castres vs Tigers
Well? I guess MOC got this one right, 10/10 on the humiliation front? Send an unfit team, way off the pace, devoid of any ideas, lack of basic handling skills, still thinking they can go around the corner rather than make holes up the middle first, give away easy turnovers, and so on and so on against a side who were themselves without several 1st team players. Roll on next weekend.......................as I'm off with my Irish mate to watch Wasps vs Ulster. At least I will have the satisfaction of being a neutral. No doubt I will get plenty of stick at the Ricoh after tonight's performance or lack of performance

Re: Castres vs Tigers
doesn't say much for motivation for the players picked when the mad in charge basically told them all publicly that they were only playing because he's given up, we had to rest the England players from the Autumn tests but why the hell were the likes of Logo, Toomua, Manu & Kalamafoni not playing?
Re: Castres vs Tigers
About right. Players could see this game didn't matter so they played like it. Man management total fail.Jimmy Skitz wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 7:33 pm doesn't say much for motivation for the players picked when the mad in charge basically told them all publicly that they were only playing because he's given up, we had to rest the England players from the Autumn tests but why the hell were the likes of Logo, Toomua, Manu & Kalamafoni not playing?
