For once and possibly the only time ever I think the ref is the person being punished here. Theree was no way he was ever going to control those teams. They were out for war and they got it. NB does the ref have the right to abandon a match and zero points the game or do they have to play to the end.

Re: Catalans game : Sat Aug 10, 2019 9:22 am  

Strewth good question, not sure what the protocol is on abandoning a game. For the bit of the game I saw it did descend into a game of retaliation.
Last night was interesting the way Rob hicks dealt with it, obviously pre set that he was going to stamp on anything really quickly to prevent any escalation, as a result of previous week. Catalan were dire though, let's hope they are as bad next week. I reckon rob butler or olsi should be given job of battering kasiano everytime he gets the ball

You have made some odd comments in the past but this has to top the lot. You are aware of the relative sizes of the two players ?

Re: Catalans game : Sat Aug 10, 2019 11:41 am  

Errr yes! One is arguably our biggest unit on the park, The other is a pretty agile prop so yep olsi, mebbee Ted but he is same size as olsi and can lose his head, mark ionne tends to come off the bench, so yup olsi and butters.
And if your going to quote me quote me correctly I said butters or olsi, maybe should have worded it butters and olsi, butters to hit him olsi to wrap the ball up.

Or maybe you would give the job to dixon and grumpy?

So NB Rob Butler is banned so what’s your revised strategy to batter Kasiano ?

Re: Catalans game : Tue Aug 13, 2019 8:35 am  

Didnt see butler had a ban.
Ok but the theory still works, you didnt like the 2 names I suggested so will keep it simple. 2 forwards choose who you want, but 2 given simple job, stay close to him and hit him as a pair everytime he gets hands on the ball. In attack do what they did with fifita, run at him first couple of tackles, make him work.
So revised strategy is same as initial strategy but you feel free to choose who you think should do the job. Or is dixon and gumpy yr suggestion.

The club are pathetic on sharing injury news.
