50% completion says it all.


We are not terrible when we have the ball. If we can control it we have a chance of scoring.
We are just getting so little ball we are snatching at chances and not building pressure like we normally do.

I think we are at 50pc because we are trying to execute under extreme pressure... Which in turn is because our options are so limited...

Worst performance of the season but rather tonight than next week. Grants one eyed interpretation of the rules is borderline bent.

Just needed some field position! 

Cozza is giving us a lift.


All too late but nice to see

And Amore is a tanker, saints love in 

Much better in the 2nd half if only we'd started with the same energy, we looked so lethargic in the 1st

As soon as saints dropped the intensity... By any percentage...  we took advantage 

Unfortunately we just couldn't handle them in the first half... Also I think when they get used to playing together... Johnstone, Pratt and Nikotemo will cause some real damage.

 Very disappointing. I'm not surprised that we looked lost with the ball at times (injuries), but I'm surprised how poor we were in contact.

Full of talent aren’t we - all three of our tries were champagne rugby. But we got battered in the grind. They controlled it completely in that first half and the damage was done by then. Obviously not helped by the dropped balls, but that’s a result of their line speed and aggression.


I’ll forget this game quickly. Onto Thursday. 

If we win on Thursday night, today's performance will be forgotten. We just looked a bit lackluster and you can't do that playing Saints.

50% completion rate in that first half really cost us and we were trying too hard IMO and forcing the pass. 
Lino seemed to calm down after 60 minutes, the passes started to stick and we looked far more like the team we have been watching in the previous games. 
Realistically we were always going to struggle to win this game but from being 20-0 down at half time to finishing 26-14 then I'll take that. Something positive to take into the Cas game next week
