To be fair Agar wouldn't be the only coach to go for the 'safe' option of Sutcliffe. The thing is we're well past the point of safe being right. It may pay off vs London but its only a matter of time before Sutcliffe disappears again and we have to give McLelland another go anyway.

Never be surprised by the conservatism of coaches.

6 penalties given in 20 mins, ball stolen off smith , daft offloads , talk about killing yourself

Nothing new. They are a rabble with a garbage caretaker coach

Can’t fault the effort here at least. Plenty of that, and desire. Just stupidity and poor kicking. How many missed tackles has Oledski made in that last 10 mins though?

Another brain dead half of rugby. Good job London are so poor.

Its garbage against garbage , sign a halfback or two would be a start . You would think 10 points up would bring confidence but all it brought was stupidity .

The continuing stupidity is bizarre it really is. I suppose that is down to the poor calibre of players we have.. they just never learn

I get what you're saying regarding effort but conversely all the penalties are down to real laziness.

i can pick out loads of lack of effort in that half , just watch closely or watch the game back after . The most glaring was Suttys laziness to get square at the play the ball .

Look fragile again, they score first this half and can see us collapsing again, we looked like we were hanging on last 20 mins of that half. Need a big second half and really strangle the life out and of them and put the game out of site, but I cannot see us pulling away, if we can and win think it will be very very close. We are an awful Side.

The loñger games go on, the more we get into 1 man out , headless chicken mode. 1 thing among many that does my brain is how often on 4th tackle , we do a 1 man drive and don't try and move the defence about.

I'd be outlawing offloads in your own half and pulling the next player off the field who conceded a stupid penalty. They only need to cover the basics and they'd be physically too much for London.

Evidence again how poor London are. Just play the game at the right end, complete high and work hard to stay honest ie no pens.

Too much common sense there. It comes from leadership in the team of which there is none

London’s game plan clear. Kick to Briscoe. Complete liability, and we have still not sorted this issue.
