Looks like we are going to get a spanking today. Totally getting outmuscled.

Back row not going well and we have no midfield. MLB constantly dropping the ball. I was hoping/expecting a better performance

Their second try (Yarde) was scored from a KO mess up. BUT, Tempest allowed Sale to kick off when Biyi was still in their half after getting some treatment. Matty Everard mentioned this. Biyi was part of Fifita's lifting pod. Why Tempest let Sale KO when one of our players could not take part in any way is beyond me.

Also Tempest keeps calling 'use it, 9 (Cliff), 5 seconds'. Cliff uses it approaching some 10 secs after Tempest's call. He really is a poor ref.

That can't be much fun watching that very poor performance. Glad I am not there.

At the minute I wish I wasn’t here. It’s just really poor all round. Last week I couldn’t fault a single player this week I’m struggling to pick one who’s impressing. We have to score the next try to stay in the game, if they score it I think they’ll be out of sight. It’s not working so we need to try something different. Maybe move Goppath to 12 and give Atkinson a run

However, the laws seem to have changed again. We are back to turnovers being forbidden and holding on allowed which essentially moves the game to non counting rugby league.

I wish there would be some sort of consistency on this because the approach at the ruck appears to change like the wind.

WR did issue a diktat but it seems that the NH and especially the Prem refs didn't read it.....

We’re just being out powered. When we have had the ball we’re miracle offloading it away. Our restarts are shaky as hell. I understand the lack of cohesion with yet more combinations in the backs. But we’re giving too many penalties away, allowing them into our 22 and then just getting pushed backwards for points.

When we have been pinged, I think Carr was on the ground making little effort to get out of the way. As I noted earlier, something is wrong with him today. His tackling is quite poor.

[Rossm]

Alfie's back. Passed HIA.

[mike909]

Tempo is just wrong too often.....pinged Tom for nothing and "extra roll" ffs....he didn't roll......

[mike909]

Curry moves further  than our "rolling" - just wrong

[Marlow Nick]

Clear double movement

[Neils]

How can that be allowed.

All we ask is consistency for God's sake

[NellyWellyWaspy]

Regardless, Wasps are throwing the ball away over and over. This is pitiful.

[mike909]

and the Sale turnover before that had a Sale man coming into the contact from offside.....

[Westy68]

What are we doing. We look like a poor coached team.
 
Jesus Christ LMB catch the bloody ball

[Rossm]

Ridiculous decision. Curry knew that he'd got away with that.
