They share out the clubs reps mostly with clubs usually having no more than 2/3 players in.

The fact Uele isn’t in there putting in regular 200 metre plus games shows how much thought has gone into that team.

Just more Mickey Mouse journalism. Social media rife with it. Social media is a playground for unregulated phishing, opinionated amateur articles written as fact etc.

It’s actually too far out of control now to stop unfortunately short of a complete shutdown of platforms. Both convenient and ruining society all at once.

A high percentage of RL reporting is filth. There’s only a few on twitter that are usually decent like Mathew Shaw, Aaron Bower and John Davidson.

Agree about Uele but we have been poor this month.think we have been lucky to get away with one defeat Think for a professional team to lose by 30 points shows how bad our squad is

We’ve already done the doom and gloom and I don’t want to do it again.

Lucky or not it’s irrelevant. It’s happened and we only lost one so why get on a downer thinking we could or should have lost more. That is very destructive thinking which I hope the club and players don’t adopt.

And it doesn’t show how bad the squad is at all. We have the strongest squad in the Championship. I’m happy for you to tell me who has a stronger squad?

What it does indicate is that injuries have hit the squad hard. Missing between 5-10 players over this past month constantly will have an impact on training and match day. Also, we employed the wrong tactics vs Toulouse on the day and tried to batter 5 drives without the actual forward grunt and down to 15 players after losing Thornley and Rodwell. Maybe it wasn’t easy to adapt with only one half into an expensive or different approach.

But that has gone. What we want is to see the team pump fev at home.

Fev look like they’re missing a number of players like us but they seem to have reinforced the forwards and have a good set of 3/4 props. I’m not sure trying to batter down the middle for 5 plays is the way but we shall see.

Does it not worry you that the only tactic we have is 5 drives down the middle Think the Wires showed last night it does not work in S L ,and if you have not got the forwards does not work in the Championship .Were is plan B

Watching SL games, especially the sides in the top half of the comp, even at our best this season, we are a long way behind but, you would expect that.
For all the stick that Lino gets, we are definitely a better side when he plays.
Right now, all we need is to make the play offs, make the GF and win.
How we are playing right now is almost irrelevant, just as long as Powell & Co can have us at our peak in a few weeks time.
Ofc we would love to be watching champagne rugby and to be winning be 30/40 points but, hopefully we are managing the squad to have as close to a fully fit squad when it matters.

If as you say our only tactic is to drive down the middle, how come our wingers have scored so many tries?
