Oh Well - Match Thread!

I think Dan Robson’s experience is much needed in the 2nd half.

And let’s give Sopps a much needed rest.

[NellyWellyWaspy]

Not a bad performance by Wasps. Just missing that clinical finishing. CMK as useless as ever. Foolish of me to expect anything different from him. He will never improve.

[Shugs]

Too many soft penalties. Not able to build any phases. Defence looking ok and scrum. Faf the difference so far. I like Porters aggression but on 50 I'd go Jimmy 10 and Dan 9.

[hookender]

Well I was happy with first half . Lot less silly mistakes and penalties. Defence has good.

Other positive , le booj’s hair looks good

[HDAWG]

On the whole both sides a bit rusty. Will say that Sale's try was pretty impressive.

Side note I've seen 2 incidents against Atkinson not reviewed where he gets absolutely pummeled. Dude is ridiculously tough for a 12 year old.

I'd argue we only need Dan.

Agree it’s time to bring on Robson with it only being a 7 point deficit at HT. Credit to Porter, he is playing with confidence, but he is just lacking the ingenuity of an experienced 9 and his clear out kicks haven’t given us the required territory or respite from Sale’s attacks.

They can spend time looking for a head on head though!

That was a never a penalty for a tackle off the ball against Booj. The guy just ran into him. Booj is entitled to stand his ground.

[MarleyWasp]

Seriously confused by the officials stance on player safety.

If de Klerk was not a penalty how can Booj be penalised for the Sale blocking runner running into him? How could the No 8's seatbelt tackle on Cruse not be a penalty?

I'm not sure I like the "let's look at it as many times as is necessary to prove me right" approach to the TMO by CMK.

And as for Faf's Hong Kong Phooey attempt, they come up with all sorts of excuses to justify their decision.

And Sale are being allowed to compete with hands when the breakdown is a ruck. Every time

[backdoc]

I would leave young Atkinson on !

[Raggs]

Well, we'd be moaning like mad had CMK missed that forward pass the other way...
