Agreed. They're the ones not performing. And they can't be
helping their careers, being outplayed every week.

There are no replacements. We have to suck it up, clear out all
but the best in the break and try to go again. I’m afraid the
coaches have been dreadful, players poor and the management
screwed up with Wilson. We really do have a 3 year plan to do
now, and it’s just to be competitive. Bad days but all rather
predictable I’m sorry to say.

I appreciate you're loving this. Do you actually have anything
positive to add?

Look ahead. Next game, I'd go with some radical changes.
Williams needs to be rested. Turner looked good today, and Riley
is a good backup. Hobson is a standout in a poor team. At lock,
I'd start Launchbury; unpopular opinion but we need some ballast
and experience. In the back row Dimmers played well. Stick with
Kenningham but rest CCS.
Friday did well. As for Marcus, either rest him or tell him to
play by instinct. It feels like he's been completely reined in
and he's trying absolutely nothing. Maybe try Jarrod or Benson.
At 12, go with Hyde or ideally Waghorn. 13 - Beard if available.
But not Northmore. Either bench or wing. Rest Isgro. Stick with
David at 15.
Above all, give the younger guys a chance. They'll benefit from
the minutes and the experience.

Watched it today with no hope. Thought Domborant was good, we
really miss Wev in games like this. Esterhuizan would have been
good too.
Like that we blooded the young Williams in the second half. He
looks to the manor...but still only 18.
Time to blood some more of the academy for the rest of the
season and start building for next season.

That was painful to watch.
Outclassed, outmuscled, out-thought and outplayed.
We were so slow to get into any defensive shape. Multiple times
we just didn't number up right, too many left or right of the
breakdown. Too many missed or bad tackles, too many fumbles
again, too many aimless kicks. Friday looks great mostly but
when you've got a pen with 2 minutes to go kick for the corner
not a half arsed attempt downfield to a wating Saints player!
CCS continues to disappoint, our locks don't seem to do that
much, Marcus is so out of nick that I'd be tempted to bench him.
Dommers was good, other than that...
My wife went to bed at half time, said she couldn't be bothered,
I nearly went too, but thought I should at least see if there
was any sort of comeback, you never know...
I was far too optimistic, Quins of 3 or 4 years ago might have
had a bit of a comeback, but this shower, no chance! 3 horror
shows in a row in the Prem :-(

Not really, nothing good currently at the club. I did have a
nice bit of salmon for dinner though

Ah well, that's two things you're happy about.
