Agreed. The only explanation I can offer is that everybody had forgotten which player was playing in each position, as mentioned above the chopping and changing in game was mystifying. But all three players were at fault and clearly left it to someone else to handle the immediate danger. I felt slightly for Russell because if he runs in, it creates an overlap so really the support should have come from the open side.

The team needs to go back to basics and get then right and start building again from there. 


Heard pre-season that bosses knew they’d missed all the catches because they couldn’t bid for players not knowing what Vaughan was doing. 


Apparently this season is treading water and blooding the academy lads, aiming to go for the GF next season. 

Jeez, always next year, literally. Isn't Sam leaving at the end of this season? 




Even if that's true about this season, why should we pay every week to watch a work in progress? That's like admitting defeat before the season even starts. Ugh. 

No he extended his contract 3 seasons. 
Saying 2 isn’t enough.


There’s a red flag if you read into it. 

We are always year n of a n+1 year plan! 


Nah last year Sam got a pass (and over achieved). This year cannot be written off. 

just been told there  was an emergency board meeting 20 mins before the end of the game on Sunday.

I'm not surr why Max Wood hasn't played or been in the reckoning yet. He's shown since we signed him he wants to put the work in, gives his all, has decent impact, skillful hands and puts 60-80 min stints in.
I'm not privy to what goes on behind the scenes, but i don't get what's happening and some of the choices being made.
I'm glad Musgrove has finally been dropped, glad Lindop is getting a chance etc but it just seems like Burgess has lost his way abit.
Only 4 games in to the season though with 2 wins, so might just be overreacting but hopefully we click in to gear soon.
But the low on confidence comment i find bizzarre after 4 games.

We've been hearing about shoddy signings & missed opportunities for donkeys years with the Wire. During all that time you would expect the club would have set up a viable scouting procedure to avoid players with issues & players who are panic bought just to fill gaps.

Could they not wait 20 minutes and suffer with the rest of us? 

Indeed the Director of Rugby role was meant to address this.
