Would you play Handley at Full Back ? no
Would You play Olpherts at all ? no
Would you constantly play Martin at centre ? no
Would you play Myler at half back ? no
Would you give Seizer , Bentley , Tetevano and the forgotten winger new contracts ? no
Do we need a leader ? Yes

Anybody not agreeing with me is as deluded as the coach



Strangely enough though i can still see Rowan turning things round , so maybe i am deluded as well .

I doubt Sezer, Fusitua, Tetevano will be getting contracts.

Martin has played pretty well at centre and if you are not picking him there who would you pick instead?

Couldn’t agree more on Olpherts by the way.

Handley on the wing
myler full back
johnson in the halves meant a lot less disruption. he ended up there anyway

Has Sinfields Exams finished? Maybe he’ll get a run at 7 if so.

Problem here is that he was found out a bit in D straight away at open age level. He would add to the side going forward though and he needs to learn.

I can’t do with Myler at 7 though too many Agar era painful memories for me. He is a relegation half back and a mid table full back.

mid table full back yes. but he is the best we have at present

He has been our best player since moving to full back

Id have to question that assessment of martin, some stuff he's done well ie line breaks but some has been awful ie decision making in good ball and positioning in defence and missed tackles.

I did say pretty well, im just not sure who else id put there, isnt he our top try scorer at the moment?

Martin, Newman, Handley, McDonald, Olpherts and Tindall are all poor in defence.
They all make bad decisions and mis-read the play or shoot the line.
That's why we leak tries out wide.

all things being equal wouldn't have martin at all can't run far enough for 2nd row/centre

Can’t run far enough, eh?

Plays 80mins every week, makes line breaks, but can’t run far enough

I think he's a good player just not a centre as the faults I mentioned are too significant.

For all my creeping doubts about RS I'm glad we've not got Ian Watson who does nothing but give excuses from who's missing to playing teams in form to playing away from home, and now publicly naming and shaming his players. Yeah, no wonder they're not performing for you Ian.

I don't like the name Ian either.

Don’t forget using that infamous sloping pitch as an excuse this week.

I don’t like Watsons style of coaching at all, process and percentages driven rugby is tedious

Is Seth short for Ian in the same way Kate is short for Bob?

Is this a blackadder reference

My all time fav programme. Just love it, can repeat whole episodes of it with a massive smile on my face…

... And you can now only say Bob in that way?

He was. I don't think he would be now even if he does get shifted back.

How about trying Hooley at centre?
Backs would look like this.
Not a world beating backline but choices are limited.
Myler
Tindall, MacDonald, Hooley, Handley
Austin, Johnson/Sinfield

No more square pegs. He's not a centre, even less so than Martin. After how his only performance v kr went, not what he or the team needs.

Mate, I can only read it that way too.

Yes agree with that Seth.
Trying to limit the amount of tinkering that has gone on throughout the season.
Moving Hooley there means the likes of Myler, Handley and Martin play in their best postions and it keeps Olpherts away from the 17.
