Correct
What about the 2005 Team?
Or 97
Lets not even get back to anything pre85 (I can go back to 77 and Oh My God!)

What a time to be alive. Mick Cassidy at hooker and players like Doc Murray, Paul Koloi and Gael Tallec.

Edwards
Tuigamala
Long

All left 2/3 games into season and then it started

Koloi
Murray
Tallec
Ian Sherrat (OMG!)

Not to mention Hansen coming in for Long

A pretty similar squad apart from 2 of our best players? There you go, we are an average squad and overachieved last year because of a few world class players and Shaun Wanes excellent ability to get players up for a game.

97 wasn’t the best squad but we had World class players in Rads, Robinson, Connolly, Henry Paul and Andy Farrell with decent supplementary players like O’Connor, Tony Smith, Neil Cowie, Nigel Wright and Simon Haughton.

2005 weren’t that bad either with world class players like Rads, Carney (Played poor), Dallas, Newton with supplementary players like Orr, Guissett, Seuseu, Tickle and Wild but both would beat this squad.

Time to put the drink down and step away from the computer.

Computer? It’s not 2002.

It’s beside the point, the table doesn’t lie but there’s far too many happy clappers on here at the moment with their heads buried up their backsides.

I don't dispute that

Sorry, I didn’t hear that, you were a little muffled.

What's that? people with a different opinion?

That would make a change from the last 4/5 years
I post 10% of what I used to do (And feel better for it) due to the unbelievable Negativity over the Years Whilst we "Were Winning".

FWIW - Lam wouldn't be my first choice, he's been dealt a bit of a Bad Hand but he's not made a great fist of it.
I have many opinions on individual issues that have happened and previously over the past 10 years whilst 90% would be positive & 10% Negative the last 12 months or so I would say it's been 70/30 the other way.
There may be many reasons for that - But a One Size fits all lets pick 1 Player/Coach or chairman and not be happy till they've gone only to find things don't improve so we pick on the next person we want to blame approach to things doesn't work.

Good news for Ben Flower. No damaged vertebrae but ligament damage in his back. He’ll be out for 4-6 weeks.
