Just more Mickey Mouse journalism. Social media rife with it. Social media is a playground for unregulated phishing, opinionated amateur articles written as fact etc.
It’s actually too far out of control now to stop unfortunately short of a complete shutdown of platforms. Both convenient and ruining society all at once.

A high percentage of RL reporting is filth. There’s only a few on twitter that are usually decent like Mathew Shaw, Aaron Bower and John Davidson.

Agree about Uele but we have been poor this month.think we have been lucky to get away with one defeat Think for a professional team to lose by 30 points shows how bad our squad is

We’ve already done the doom and gloom and I don’t want to do it again.
Lucky or not it’s irrelevant. It’s happened and we only lost one so why get on a downer thinking we could or should have lost more. That is very destructive thinking which I hope the club and players don’t adopt.
And it doesn’t show how bad the squad is at all. We have the strongest squad in the Championship. I’m happy for you to tell me who has a stronger squad?
What it does indicate is that injuries have hit the squad hard. Missing between 5-10 players over this past month constantly will have an impact on training and match day. Also, we employed the wrong tactics vs Toulouse on the day and tried to batter 5 drives without the actual forward grunt and down to 15 players after losing Thornley and Rodwell. Maybe it wasn’t easy to adapt with only one half into an expensive or different approach.
But that has gone. What we want is to see the team pump fev at home.
Fev look like they’re missing a number of players like us but they seem to have reinforced the forwards and have a good set of 3/4 props. I’m not sure trying to batter down the middle for 5 plays is the way but we shall see.

Does it not worry you that the only tactic we have is 5 drives down the middle Think the Wires showed last night it does not work in S L ,and if you have not got the forwards does not work in the Championship .Were is plan B

Watching SL games, especially the sides in the top half of the comp, even at our best this season, we are a long way behind but, you would expect that.
For all the stick that Lino gets, we are definitely a better side when he plays.
Right now, all we need is to make the play offs, make the GF and win.
How we are playing right now is almost irrelevant, just as long as Powell & Co can have us at our peak in a few weeks time.
Ofc we would love to be watching champagne rugby and to be winning be 30/40 points but, hopefully we are managing the squad to have as close to a fully fit squad when it matters.

If as you say our only tactic is to drive down the middle, how come our wingers have scored so many tries?

But it isn’t SL and the squad will be different in SL. The time to worry and discuss that is when we are in SL.
No it doesn’t. I think that should be the foundation before you look to introduce expansive plays. First and foremost the middles must dominate by getting quick plays and good post contact metres. This makes defences condense more and relax the edges in parts which can then be exposed.
It’s not the only thing in our locker at all but it’s an area that has slipped in effectiveness without Rodwell (or a fit Rodwell) and Atoni. In some areas Bowden.
We did employ the wrong tactics vs Toulouse and got bitten but for the most part this season we have got it right going central and direct with the forwards we have.
I have confidence in the coaching set up to build on the foundations of our forward play with some expansive and different attacking plays that can break teams down outside of using the middles.
It’s not that we only have the forwards down the middle and bullying opposition forwards as the only tactic but we need to build on that and find a more effective method when we are struggling for impact in the middle.
Fev actually have a big set of middles this weekend and actually it’s probably the strongest part of their squad.
I’m not going to go into full blown meltdown and start picking the squad to pieces after one poor performance. There’s no need at this stage and I trust the coaches and players will address it.

| I’m pretty sure it’s been discussed by Powell and Mills and people on here but we started really late getting players which I think the club have recruited magnificently ie Rodwell, Uele, Vagana to name a few. The players already signed up for next year are light years ahead of players we’ve been able to attract in recent years. I can imagine it’s very hard to attract a quality player to come join us in the championship for half a season, and even if they did it throws a spanner in the works in preparing for next year. We definitely need a 7 for the rest of the year in my opinion to bring stability and fluidity to our attack, something Kay can’t offer though he’s got to be commended for being so bloody versatile and putting his hand up to play there. With Lawfords season done and Lino out for god knows how long a loan would be great, but finding someone is difficult I’d imagine. Reckon we should just trust Powell/mills with this.

Even when we were playing well when we won the 1895 cup and all the games around that time, they only had Jowitt and Rodwell in, so just shows what you say is correct.

Exactly, they just pick 1/2 from each club and not even the ones with best stats. I suspect it’s just a person who just writes a few names on scraps of paper and throws it on social media.

Has anyone else heard the rumour that Lino is now suffering from abscesses and is going to be out for a few more weeks ??

It’s an update on the clubs social media. It’s not a rumour.
