Re: Tigers v Bristol Bears (A) - Saturday 03rd December 2022 KO 8-00pm
Another game that would have been a win last year. Abysmal kicking in the first half, two dead and one straight out, gifted points. Then the not ten from Burns.
How Semi stayed on is beyond me. Mitigation or no he was out of control.
Potters miss from Ashton turned out to be critical.
Lovely to see Kelly back but why was there not a like for like on the bench? Scott maybe? We lost organisation without him.
Very dissapointed at the loss/lack of control.

Burns made to many sloppy errors and we scored two of the three tries whilst he was off the field. The only one we did score whilst he was on was from the rolling maul.sapajo wrote: ↑Sat Dec 03, 2022 10:01 pmBurns was better off the tee but nowhere elseRagingBull wrote: ↑Sat Dec 03, 2022 9:58 pmBurns looked better than Atkinson I thought todaysam16111986 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 03, 2022 9:56 pm Worrying lack of organisation since Kelly has gone off. Burns has been really poor again, I'm disappointed we didn't give Atkinson another go in the second half.
That being said those two missed conversions did cost us the win.

No leadership. Again. Bath, Irish and now Bristol, turn it on in the first half, fall apart in the second. Kicking poor for most of the game. Big questions to be asked.

Worn out watching that. So frustrating. We’re our own worst enemies but you have to wonder how Radradra was still on the pitch. Mitigation ? Not a chance….he’s lined up Burns from 10 yards and taken his head off !! Having said that, we seem to be the reverse of last season. We’re letting leads slip, looking tired and giving away stupid pens.

Whitcombe must play ahead of van Wyk when they're both available.

The most frustrating thing about that is it was a couple of % away from being a comfortable win (or a win at the very least)
Burns and Ashton aren't as wayward with their kicking in the 1st half and they don't score two tries
Atkinson gets his kicks we have 4 extra points
Porter holds his line and he scores from the Ashton offload
Van Wyk trusts Martin to make the hit and we aren't down to 14
Those are all "controllables"

I really really hope pollard is fit soon as burns is having too many brain farts each game

Agreed, what is the news of Pollard? We are certainly missing the brain and organisation of Ford.

Is the Borths uncertainty effecting us? After Mondays meeting if EJ gets sacked Borths needs to come out and tell us what he’s doing either way! He’s obviously interested or he would’ve come out and immediately ruled himself out

CMK was… well, CMK. Truth is we had a 10-0 pen count at one point, 3 tries and a seemingly game winning lead… and blew it. Again
