only top by name only.

And by number of wins, and also points. In fact by every measure there is.

[hopwood]

We really do look like a broken, knackered, low confidence team.

[Westy68]

Whatever. I will not be agreeing with that. That’s for VV

[Peej]

What have I missed with Fifita and the press?

Wusty has to up the tempo. He is slowing it down for no good reason

[rcheek77]

Jesus f***ing christ, every single scrum on opposition feed we give away a penalty. Every game, every scrum. So infuriating and tedious after a while. Same old sh*t every game. Grumble over.

[Westy68]

Hislop having a mare. Genie is a animal

[Daeg]

That's a red. What is wrong with this f******g ref

[Neils]

Red?

[Vespula Vulgaris]

Red?

Genge gouged Hougaard and they wrote it off as a crap punch. Should have been red, got away with yellow

[Westy68]

Hougaard at 9 and miller on the wing. It’s too slow

[Bloke in North Dorset]

Red?

Genge gouged Hougaard and they wrote it off as a crap punch. Should have been red, got away with yellow

Genge looked at the card and was obviously received to see yellow. 

[loverugby1979]

They are looking that all are knackered. Without ideas and discipline .

We're losing only 7-13 at HT. This is a miracle

[HDAWG]

Our attack is so bad. Can't string anything when we keep kicking possession away. The one brief glimpse of attack was good, but one glimpse in 40 mins is god awful. Not sure if it's because missing Robson + Umaga or coaching or Atkinson's first start or what. Just bad.

[JonnyD]

Sometimes I wonder why we play a fly half.

Can you imagine Marcus Smith letting play go on around him like our 10s do.
Nothing against Atkinson, we’re obviously playing off 9 and waiting for Willis or Barbeary to make a break but it isn’t working.
Atkinson needs to take control and play like he did in the last ten mins last week and get a bit of tempo. Porter might help that but doesn’t have the control of Wusty - should just play Hougaard at 9 and get Miller or Crossdale on the wing.
Hougaard probably our best player so far though

[Rossm]

I know we've given away a lot of penalties but I can't fathom some of Foley's decisions.

I'm sure at first he said the Tigers try was held up. What changed his mind? Didn't look like the ball was down to me.

Also he bottled the Genge card. First he made contact with the eye area then he pulled Hougaard's hair. Should have been red.
