First of all, a much better or should I say safer game with ball in hand, and much better defence individually.



However, every single point conceded came on the back of stupid, blatant and needless penalties. You could see it coming a mile off. There needs to be some serious flogging in training related to these penalties. It's just dumb play, and more often than not from the same few players, and players who really should know better.



All in all, I'd like to think it was a step forward - so no doubt back to the normal dross against the Crusaders.

And four of your tries gained came of the back of forward passes, what you moaning about, with that sort of luck/cheating your team will probably go far again this season!!!

Hopefully a win against crusaders and we can kick on from there. Agree about the penalties but I was just pleased to see us complete some sets and make a slightly better defensive effort

Does anyone know why our wonderful coach had to stand next to the floodlight rather in the stand like any other normal coach? I really didn't see what he was benefiting from sitting there.

So he could say after the game "it didn't look like four forward passes won us the game from were I was" !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wondered that myself. Hardly seemed the greatest place to watch from!

I Thank You !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not only is he a tool but he's a boring tool

and a repetitive one

I wasn't moaning about the penalties being given - they were all clear penalties, I was 'moaning' about our players stupidity in giving these penalties away. The worrying thing is that this is a recurring theme from the past 18 months or so. Basic ill-discipline - that should be punished by the management, both as a unit (team game, team punishment - hopefully create positive peer pressure) and then individually aswell for repeat and stupid offenders - ahem JJB, Cross, Sinfield (who definitely should be setting a better example - although he does in many other areas)

Oh, and I'm guessing the coach was watching from there to critique the sliding defence and see who is exactly to blame. To be fair, if it was, it worked as the defence was better.



And credit where its due, Senior was much better tonight..
