FC need to have a word with Mahe Fonua. He does the flight of the dying swan every time he is touched. Looks at the ref getting up after every single tackle. He got caught out last night. I don't think it will work for him this season

Clubs coached by forwards, rules and commentary bothered about "the collision" and "the wrestle"

Agree the sport has gone backwards but the last game with us involved I really enjoyed was the Catalans S8 home game. Defended well, attacked well. We made some basic errors but it was a great game to nil them just before Wembley

I really think that if the season started in March then fans would have to suffer the dour stuff we get in the first 4-5 rounds due to poor pitch and weather conditions. Consequently the impressions we the fans have is the game is not what we remember it to be and are needing to be even more impressed with more skilful play to get on an even keel.

When we joined SL in 1998, our first game was at the back end of March, pitches were firmer, weather was better.

You only have to see Cas okay to see, when played openly, it's great to watch. I do think many teams take few risks during the early month or so until the conditions become better.

There have been some not so great games so far but there's plenty of time for them to improve. If things are feeling really grim just watch 10 minutes of a 6 Nations game and you'll realise it could be much worse.

don't think union to bad to be honest, I think its inbred in us not to like it, same as them not liking league, theres a few of union players I wouldn't mind playing for us, but everyone to there own I suppose, by the way I think league is better,
