Dont talk tripe. Only lolohea hill Jerry and Seb would definitely be playing from that list. Pryce wouldn’t necessarily be in the 17 with tui playing as he is at FB and fages and Russell doing so well in the halves. You’d drop our second best starting prop for our first best starting prop? Likely both Wilson and Seb would be on the bench with English the way Wilson is playing. AOB and Roberts have both been available- just not getting picked!

Makes it even more galling that it was a game we should have won

Indeed

Thanks for restarting our season and seeing us nicely into the CC final, it’s been all onwards and upwards since that win…..

Pity the good luck's gonna run out at Spurs then, Jools

The final is a different game. Luck is not what is needed. They now have the belief. The team spirit of being able to fight their way back and play for each other is there. I go with no expectations and who knows what will happen on the day. We can compete of that I’m positive.
We are still building a team and Watson is doing a good job. He knows the type of player he can work with and hasn’t made a poor signing for me apart from perhaps ashworth. (Who’s decent cover but too error prone to be reliable first team every week)
You lot keep blaming Chester this season for what’s happening on the pitch this season when he’s now long gone, yes mostly his players - well remember you won with the same players at the end of last season- so the players alone aren’t the problem. You were also positive at the start of this season- now all of a sudden your tune has changed. This board is funny.
It’s not the players…….
Poching was never going to do anything he just hasn’t got the experience- a nice enough guy but a poor coach I’m afraid, and not a great enthuser of others- he does ok with the youngsters who need a different approach. That’s why at hudds robbo was promoted above him with much less coaching experience.
