By christ there’s a lot of glasses half empty on here . Lightweight pack ??? We are missing nearly the entire pack
Peet no plan B??? Hampshire starting at 6 instead of our so called experienced half
I think he knows what he’s doing.
Hopefully Ethan will be back in a few weeks

He defo comes across as an individual that’s only bothered about his own success.The passes aside hes a good attacking centre but his defence and attitude is very very debatable.I dont, however think it was his none pass that lost them the game as we should have been out of site with better decision making and better goal kicking

York or London at home in the quarterfinals would be nice.

We progressed, which is the only stat that matters in a cup game.
I wouldn't say we were lucky, in fact we were on the wrong end of a few decisions. We were the best team and the result was a fair one.
The players toughed it out and you can't take that away from them.
In terms of our team, well we learned nothing that we didn't know already.
Smith is not the solution to our goal kicking woes (and his misses could have been costly)
Our pack is lightweight
French is a genius
Peet really doesn't have a plan B.
Lot's to work on.
Yes lots like perfecting planA

Sorry, Bobby, I altered your 2nd word to a more acceptable version, but otherwise you are absolutely spot on.
We had no right to win that game. Both because of the players missing and last week's result. Our second half performance was tremendous and the whole team deserve huge credit. The tackle by French on Newman was a matchwinner in itself, as good as anything I've seen in 60 years of watching the team.
I've complained about the moaners many times, but over time realised that they won't change and moaning makes me one of them. I think we can only accept that the forum's purpose for many is to analyse and criticise.
For me, our wins against Wire and Saints show what Peet and the team can do - that includes Smith, Powell, King, French, Smithies, and even Mago. Mistakes will be made, and dips in form happen, but "We're on our way to Wembley", so I'll accept a few blips and nurture a bit of optimism.

Not even in the top 50
Did you not see Radlinski's tackle in the cup final then? !!

What a tackle that was. "12 stone of solid granite" Ray French said on commentary at the time. 1987-88 Steve Hampson was the best full back in the world

[/quote Is that when he was awarded the Golden Boot much to the Aussies surprise? I know big Dave W wasn't pleased when he departed. A great player in a great team
