When I said performance wise I was specifically talking about
our performances, not about our league position or anything
else. I reckon Newcastle away was our best performance, and
apart from that it's hard to think of any other games where we
weren't rubbish for significant periods. Sarries home was good
but we lost; Bath away was probably the best win but came with
half a game of utter rubbish; Glaws away was pretty good
although Glaws were off the pace. Beating Exeter was satisfying
but we still conceded a try bonus point against a largely second
string. Bath and Glaws totally humiliated us at home.
I would love to see more Newc away performances where the team
is properly switched on for the majority of the 80 minutes.

We finished joint 4th. Pretty good season. Something to build
on.

For me the turning point was the home loss to Gloucester. We
were on a great run until then.

Yes. It was an early kick off on a Sunday. It was just wrong in
all senses! We haven't properly recovered from that game.
Gutted about today. We played okay and did well to give
ourselves a shot in the last minute. The Wasps fans next to us
said that was the best they had played all season!
5th is good in the context of last year but a crying shame given
the flow of the season. The losses have largely been by 2 or 3
points. That has to be Gussy's focus in the pre-season; how do
we create the mentality to flip that difference.

Just watching the game now. Early on Danny Takes a box kick
which is taken by their 10 outside of their 22. He then passes
back into Le Roux I think, who is inside their 22, who kicks
direct to touch, is that allowed. Sorry I'm not clear on this
rule.

Sorry not to add to the general gloom, but I was at The Ricoh
today and apart from the fact that the food there is shit I
really enjoyed the match. Yes we lost. The game was exciting to
watch and nowhere near as infuriating as some I’ve seen. We had
the entire Quins party next to us as well - a team players,
women’s team, retirees, everyone. The last gasp penalty was one
of those moments that would have been joyous if had worked. Roll
on next season.

Completely agree we've not been uncompetitive at all or we
wouldn't be 5th. But let's not pretend it was anything other
than losing bonus points that got us there!
Gutted to lose today, especially in the manner in which it
happened but in all honesty we didn't deserve to beat Wasps and
wouldn't have a hope in hell of lifting the trophy. With
hindsight (easy to say now, I know) I think I'd prefer to be in
the top 4 next season, if we can add to the squad in the right
places and Gustard can get the squad looking how he wants it.
Just hope the cheaters that are Saracens don't win, but afterall
money talks.
Really happy to have Champs Cup rugby next year.

Yes, I remember thinking that hadn't been picked up. Also,
didn't someone slap Marcus? That also wasn't picked up.

This. Gloucester game was a thumping but the others we could
have won. Let sale win without having to do much. Threw it away
v saints which was the most significant loss. Had a chance to
beat both ex and sarries away. Only played for 40 mins v wasps.
Very poor v tigers so no bonus
