SO Soft down the middle, any other team in the league would have kept them to nil so far bar the first lucky try

Sick of watching us get dry bummed by F.C. every Derby. This performance is a disgrace.

Taxi for Sheens.

Re: Daunting trip to Newcastle : Sun May 20, 2018 7:00 pm  

So much wrong with that performance.Where do you start? Pack overrun again.No brains in middle. Totally winnable game against a very poor backline. Taylor's try was a freak one but you just got the feeling that was how it was going to go? A few of their tries cane from mickey poor defence but the Harris one was as bad as any of seen and last few year if seen a few. Quinlan Moss and Vai Via tried.The rest would struggle to shine in a u19's game

For all there injury problems in the backs there pack was still very strong and that's were they won the game for me

Re: Daunting trip to Newcastle : Sun May 20, 2018 7:15 pm  

I thought we were the least worse of 2 rubbish teams. You really need to focus on the middle 8s now and make sure you have a reasonable squad of players fit and ready by then

I agree. We were too strong up front with only Bowden and flash missing. Backs are decimated though and most are longer term injuries. None back for a month at best

Disappointed but not surprised. Pack not good enough, but we have known this all season. Crazy level of injuries have robbed us of any leadership and any luck we have seems to be bad luck. Not sour grapes that,s just the way I see it.
9 games left, we will do well to win 3, therefore probably bottom 2 barring some miracle.
Time to protect the key players so that they are available when it matters.
With a reasonably fit squad we have a good chance of survival, but with an injury ravaged squad come the eights I fear the drop awaits.
It cannot be allowed to happen.
I genuinely think we are better than the other likely eight candidates, but we have got to prove it.
Never agreed with throwing kids or reserves in, but maybe now justifies the means to protect the key personnel.
Very worrying times. We supporters need some good news and fast.

Agree with every word. Was very disappointed after Good Friday game but after today just half expected it. Another bitter pill to swallow as a fan but no lessons seem to be being learnt. Injuries or not we just are not big enough physically as a team

I don't think bringing Yeaman back is the answer but with Griffin out now he might be playing a few games the French kid looks lively

Just let’s hope our terrible centre injury curse doesn’t hint Vaivai because so far he’s been a gem of a find.

Wow, thats a kiss of death and a half.

He passed in front of us as he was being helped off and it was a sad sight. Fingers crossed for him that it isnt as bad as it looked.
