Pearson is as culpable as anyone. He's sat on his hands for far to long and watched it deteriorate. What will have influenced him more than anything was the turnout last night and then the walkout. Can't have been many left at the hooter.

Carlos with 246 metres last night is a unbelievable effort

Jones had every right to have a go. I couldn't believe he just booted it out.

Exactly all he had to do was just drop on it and as you say Jones had every right to tell him as much. Think that is part and parcel of some of the issues in the squad that some players are too cosy and LR was too matey with players rather than being the boss. Unfortunately its a lesson I learnt after being in a team at work and one of the lads to then having to manage the same group. You can no longer have that same relationship and have to distance yourself so lines are not blurred.

Oh I quite agree, I was amazed when he didn't drop on it.

I shouted at Shaul more than Jones did I think! 3 yards from our line, just fall on it. As soon as you are touched it is tackle complete. Stupid decision

I'm not so sure. Isn't it the case that the tackle is complete when the momentum stops?
From where I was sitting, it looked like if he had dropped on it, the chasers would have tackled him, and, with the momentum, they would have all ended up in goal. With the same result.

Unbelievable Pete!!

1. Why has the owner allowed the environment to deteriorate??..( as soon as AP saw this, he should have fired Radford ..)
2. A new broom is clearly needed, high profile players need to respect their Manager, keeping Last wont change anything, nor an unproven Head Coach,nor a lower division Head Coach.
3. Maybe Purcell & Ellis be a better short term solution?
4. If a new player wants away, let him go, use that money to replace Radford..

thanks, I meant Sneyd... (not that I think it was bad, but Tomkins got 2 matches for the same)

Looking at other sports I'd be amazed if we play any games in the next two weeks.

the momentum would have stopped when he dropped on it. tackle complete.

Very possibly but not necessarily. The point is he had the time and space to drop on it and potentially avoid a drop out. Instead it looked like he couldn't be d and booted it dead.

I don’t agree. He and the Wire chasers were moving at speed an very likely would have continued to the in goal.
However, what I do agree with, is that Shaul, despite his odd moments of glory, isn’t good enough for a SL full back.

No Shaul should have dropped on it. He had space and time to do so.
Anyway so many inexcusable mistakes and poor play and attitude.
I said during the game that the team weren't playing for Lee, even for us that was bad.

Strange how player power both got him and lost him his job

My issue with Shaul is his lack of attacking nounce. We must have the only fullback that breaks attacks down.
