I've always liked Ben Flower and I've also thought he hasn't been 100% fit for a while. At least he never gave up yesterday and was still tackling hard at the end. Haven't seen the stats but I thought he was on the pitch for a long time yesterday.

Big useless mess. Too fat, too slow, too immobile, no skill or athleticism.

Never really plays bad but never above average. Supposed to be our best prop but doesn’t come close to other clubs: Hill, Thompson, Watts, Casty etc.

I will admit, I do not believe signing a world class prop would solve our problems in this department.

It’s the style of play that is killing our poor forwards.

Catching stood still

Running in solo

Poor slow play around the ruck

If that’s the case then the coach needs to go.

Clubb too slow, needs to go, naverette, donkey, flower, best days are behind him, oloughlin, PLEASE retire, isa, give you good defence but that’s it, bullock I like him feel abit sorry for him as he’s took a step up in level of rugby and probably feels a little over whelmed.
Best forward greenwood when off injured, awesome player but always picking up injuries.
Need a massive shake up in our pack, a lot of shite and players that can’t keep fit
If you look back at my post when we signed Greenwood as a replacement for Joel and/or Bateman my concern was the fact that although he was a big lad who scored tries his time at Stains seem to be punctuated by injuries over and over again. Not much changes.
