Quote: Kosh "The only other pro sport I watch regularly nowadays is Cricket, which is impossible to compare. Although I'm not that impressed with Umpires either.
Every week in football, there'll be at least two - usually more - managers complaining about how the officials have wronged their team. RU is even worse in that the rules are so needlessly complicated that literally any interpretation could be correct or incorrect. The point is though, that if standards of refereeing are just as 'poor' in other sports, maybe that's just the nature of the beast, and all sports fans have to accept that human beings make errors.

Child is an example of someone promoted way beyond his ability. Together with Roby he simply isn't SL standard. Has no idea how to control a game.

He's bottled that, pure and simple. Can't say he didn't see it, and there's absolutely no excuse for Briers to still be on the pitch.

Thing for me regarding the Catalan Match.. Gentle said in the paper that he was taking things back to basics regarding our defense and approach to the attacking side.

Our defense never let a try in despite many drop outs and plays within our 20.

Many say that Catalan never threw much at us, but me personally i feel our defense shut anything down early before they could.

Are the players not learning the set plays which Gentle trying to teach??

Steady now. However,if we come up against Wire and do the same you may have a point.

If the players still haven't got his plays after nearly 2 years either he's completely useless at getting his message across or his plays are too complex for anyone to understand. Either way he needs to sort it out. I also see no real evidence we are trying any set plays

Quick to judge Gentle.. But he can only teach, the players need to learn.

Regarding Set Plays, the players have tried some from the scrum and off penalties of which ive seen this season.

Gentle has had nearly 2 years so hardly quick. Re set moves I mean evidence of structured moves in the opposition 20 metre area

The blind side move that Whiting scored from in the semi is a set move. We also have the left shift that virtually every team uses. It's the quality of the execution under pressure that leaves a lot to be desired which is disappointing.

Not saying we never use them and you're right, when we do, we generally look slow and ponderous, however we seem to have less use of them than other teams
