How many times this year would you say we’d played well for a full game ?

Last time I seen him he couldn’t catch a pass either

Disaster. The green bits on the top were there but the orange bits under the soil weren’t

I was actually thinking at the time that he didn’t look so well .

Very sad , loved watching him as a kid in a very good Northamptonshire side . Really gave it a whack with his big SS bat

Great signing

The refs on the field do a good ( and hard job ) , the people above them setting the laws and how they want to the game to be refereed and played can make it harder , as can the players with their actions and increasing theatrics , as can the scrutiny being higher than ever . It’s frustrating though how we concentrate on some things but totally ignore other things .The VR is something else , I’d happily scrap it or pare it back up just ingoal things and I like watching a game every week that doesn’t have this , but that’s just my opinion

Thats a bugbear of mine with the channel 9 coverage . I hate seeing the first contact from kicks from that awful overhead camera. Dont know if it was the weather but luckily they dumped it in the second half today

I’ve just started harvesting my taties and have tried carrots for the first time so will see what they’re like

Swings and roundabouts I guess . It would give a little less grunt of a hit up merchant at 13 but more playmaking and subtlety there . Depends what you’re looking for

How sad if you really believe that

Good first half and two good sides

That ball was kicked out by Wakey on last tackle , not sure if that’s still offside mind

I know what you mean , basically if you make a meal of it and the play breaks down you get a penalty

Very nice

Pitts the elder

Ref saw Russell way offside at the kick off after that try

I have blackbirds which are virtually pets . Every morning the male is on the backdoor handle pecking at the door , the female is on the step and literally is on her way in when i open the door and the baby is on the window sill watching me . The male eats from my hand and we have a good crack , birds are very intelligent ive no doubt

Do you think they have enough commentators on the world test final ?

Yes , and up to now Rovers attack is very clunky

Any chance we aren’t looking at the coaches when the games going on

One positive for me is young Wear . It doesn’t always come off but he’s trying things and definitely has something about him . Dews knew you need one line against Zarrin and smothered him pretty well .

Very very well deserved . Completed , kicked deep , tackled , defended line , took chances .

You could tell after 5 minutes we weren’t winning that . We looked way off and lethargic . Our attack was basically one out charges and a speculative kick , and our errors and some poor goalline defence made sure we were always behind the 8 ball , and we never looked creative or threatening enough to drag it back

Ah my bad … this has nothing to do with Whitehaven .
