I would put on Porter and Tom Willis for Dan and Jack at half time.
We need to play with confidence and pace.

Launch scores.

3 point difference  and not deserved.

I disagree. Well deserved. We worked for that one.

Nope we butchered that. The second 55 minutes can't be as bad.

Jesus….the amount of times Ogre holds on to the ball for too long in ruck situations, when he should give it 3 seconds earlier.
All driven by ego….and it never gives us an added advantage.
Stop going for the extra yard!! It doesn’t give the team any benefit.
So glad Dan got it away….and well done Joe for scoring a much needed try before halftime.


Really enjoying hearing insights from Tom Cruise. You get an idea of how he sees the game and the referee.

Painful to watch. Slow dull. We need a decent 10  Jacob sadly isn't him.

Game plan is there one. The coaches need to look at themselves if they can't coach and manage this team.

Now now, you two.
We all want the same outcome

Wow, that was bad. Mega scrappy. Keep the ball in hand!!!!! 14-17 flatters us, we’ve been in their half twice. Need a significantly better 2nd half.

True but the big picture ain't on telly.

Don't think Alfie has offered much. Gets the ball and is swamped.

55 mins? Do you anticipate an extra long 2nd half?

I’ve given up trying to work out why or how we’re so crap. It’s actually becoming draining watching this rubbish. On current form we have the worst 9, 10 partnership in the league

[JF]

I really hope we've ignored whatever plan we're supposed to be playng to, because if we are playing to it it's shockingly bad and should be ditched.

[Rossm]

I know I shouldn't mention the ref but some of his decisions have me baffled At times, Joe, Jack and Biyi have all looked confused.

I’m watching it live and it’s easy to see we’re making life hard for ourselves.

If we can cut down on the scrum penalties and kicking out on the full, maybe we can get the momentum we need.

I think Newcastle have snapped up our mistakes and put points on the board.

PS Don’t think the Ref could possibly have seen their last try because he was on the wrong side and 3 yards away with lots of bodies in the way. (I’m in that corner and had a grandstand view).
