Not seen the game, luckily away at friends house this weekend, game recorded but won't be watching it.
By the sound of it, we were absolutely crap, this has been coming and is starting to prove the point that we are a one man team.
The coaching staff need to step up and come up with solutions to our recent abysmal form.
The attacking set-up is obviously not working, we can't constantly rely on Bevan to pull us out of the shit.
Coaches need to prove they are worth the contracts they have been given and come up with solutions to the performance issues.

I didn't see the game either, I just listened to the commentary at home. And I've seen the brief 'highlights' :roll:
I think the full game is going to be a tough watch.

On the contrary, I think he’s been fantastic for us over the last couple of years and will only get better as he gains more experience. My point is that he will feel disappointed with himself tonight as Bentley got to him. I agree he was frustrated and there is a huge amount of pressure on his shoulders without Bevan but getting himself banned will hurt us as we don’t have another tactical kicker currently in the team. All part of the learning curve for him but he needs some help from the coaching staff…hence my comment about someone having a word with him this week. I expect him to be our 7 for many years to come and to lead us around the field to more trophies
Yes lead us around the field like ring a ring o'roses a pocket full of posiesA -tishoo A-tosh -hoo. We all fall down Its the harbinger of things to come? We're doomed!😈

Farrimond need's to be given a chance if he had been earlier like eckersley hope I've spelt the name right he would have gained the experience and helped the other players Fresh legs etc Some of the team don't seem to want to play attack none existent.Coaching fault that the team are so tired should have used younger players rotated more sensibly Head Coach must take responsibility for that he must have final say in who plays and doesn't play.Lets hope it doesn't come up and bite him on the backside.💯🤔

I agree beryl saints had no option but to play their young fullback and i think that he is doing a good job i feel that Farrimond has more of a running game than smith so bring it on i say

Farrimonds issue was he got targeted in attack and was a turnstile, why else would we go back to Hampshire.

The forwards are knackered because of our style of play, forwards taking the ball up on every tackle followed by a Smith kick and it doesn’t matter where we on the field.

Farrell is our oldest player and has played in all 3 games, sometimes as hooker which can be one of the most exhausting positions to play.

Mago probably not played 80 minutes in all 3. We had young Harvey Hill playing in the reserves yesterday. And Walters has yet to break a sweat. Yet we are killing Thompson, Havard, Nsemba and Ellis.

Peet now finds himself in the same position as Lam did . No superstars to rely on.
The next few weeks is going to be a big test of his coaching abilities.

Saints will have Dodds and Mybye in the halves and their pack is getting stronger each week whereas ours are knackered. A big turnaround is required if we are going to finish in top 2
