Confirmed GF jr makes his debut against London

Bold choice. Dunning using the academy as it’s meant to be used. If they’re good enough, they’re old enough.

I think Mumby made his debut when he was 16 and that didn't turn out too bad.

He did and I think he scored over 30 points on his debut.

27

Still pretty good.

I'm missing beer and bbq for tonight's game so if I am turning up those shyster better be too...COY oh what's the point, we never get past three times anyway...

Half time and its one poor southern shower beating an equally poor northern shower. It's really desperately sad to see how low we've sunk in the level of rugby being played.
Only glimmer is young Flanagan - injected much needed pace into both attack and defence. Crowd sp tonight, but then it is London

Very flat, 2 poor teams.

They’ve been marginally better. We’ve had more ball in their half but don’t know what to do with it.

Attendance just given as 2,752 on the commentary

Of course, there'll be non-attending ST holders in that number - no idea how many are in the ground

I did a "back of the fag packet" count up just before kick off. I reckon there was no more than 1700 souls to witness that shower.

Great coaching appointment this is turning out to be, who would’ve thought it?

Agree there was no where near 2700 there.

I dont think there is a word in the english language that can describle that performance.

16 senior players shown up by a 17 year old on debut. We looked nothing like a team today.

We are terrible. Utterly terrible. 3 wins at home all season. Speaks volumes.

After the absolute shower that was served up in Newcastle most of us expected a response. What we got was another poor performance.

We were clueless in attack. Slow, out of shape and overweight. Players going through the motions and far too many passengers. Lilley and Patton offered nothing today. Jowitt (if fit) or Lawford should be given a chance next week. The board and coaches must see that the playoffs are a fantasy now and we must start planning for next year.

We were dominated by an improving London team and never once looked like winning the game. There was a 5 min spell when GFJr scored where I thought we would take control of the game but we didn't and faded out of the game.

What a terrible season we are having.
