I really feel for you - must be hard not to get your fix of live RL.

I have been lucky that the company I work for have allowed me to work from home on Fridays next year - this past season I had to make a mad dash just arriving in time for a pint before the match. It did mean I had to get my pint from on the concourse though. It's that last point that makes my sacrifice a worthy one.

If they told me I had to work all Friday at the office I'd be unable to attend Friday matches like you.

I know the feeling. I don't have a season pass anymore because I don't know what games I'm going to make from one week to the next, because I never know what city I am going to be working in.

Back on topic.

It’s perfectly right to want a bit of aggression in our game, but like Standee I want to see Rugby, and I want the Rugby to be coming from us, not hoping that our lads can defend for 70 minutes because every time we get the ball we give away a penalty.

It’s ridiculous to want to come bottom of the Fair Play League. If we do, were likely to be near the bottom of the table and while been an incredibly boring team to watch.

Spot on!

Doesn't stop you commenting on performances though. You get all your info from Doyle-Davidson?

Who doesn't. Fountain on knowledge that bloke. Thats whom I learnt all the players names from.

Oh and, erm, you know those camera things that produce those magic moving images, they have them a Rugby games as well you know.

We need to be physical no doubt about it, but not dirty. We can do without giving teams penalties or having players suspended.

BRING IN THE EDITED - K BIFF

No, I speak to people who go every week, and get to some games msyelf, that and the magic picture box in the corner help.

If you're of the belief that you can't comment if you don't go to every game then fine, I'm of the opinion that is a fairly prattish point of view.

I think we should be aiming to win it again. No reason why our new aggression cannot be within the rules.

strugggled to see that for the past 2 years if honest, so is a fair reflextion of why we won the fair play award

People are expecting far more aggression this year though with the likes of Lauaki, O'Meley and Fitzgibbon. All i'm saying is if and when it arrives, keep it within the rules or it will have a negative effect on results.

i know what your saying and i don't disagree with you but imo we have missed a nasty bar steward in the middle of the park for many a year so a bit of biff or ruthness wouldn't go a miss to stand our ground. (in moderation of course)

In terms of aggression the last two seasons have been abysmal, embarrassing. For all the hype over Radford and his ‘hard man’ status I’ve yet to see him dominate anyone. The Lauaki ‘cameo’ towards the end of last season just highlighted what has been missing. Confrontation is a regular occurrence in a physical game like RL, if you’re not prepared to accept that challenge you might as well give up (just like our pack did for the majority of last season).
