That's quality from JGP.

Casey is limping.

Saffers are going to murder us in close

Lowe is a lucky boy there, chucking it over his head.

Doris is just so much more prominent at 8.

earl the beaver

Wtf is Aki doing, Dickson even told him.

earl the beaver

2 properly good kicks there but I think Timoney knocks it on

earl the beaver

Hansen has been great

earl the beaver

Baird has been out MOTM by a mile.

Not mess up.

By recent team performances that's a fecking gold star showing.

You called?

earl the beaver

Lads, one on one 2m from the line, you'd be disappointed if you didn't score no matter who the defender was. Sure, it'd be great if he got a fantastic hit in but I think you're letting previous cloud your judgement. Aus had sucked in all our defenders and as with the second try it wasn't particular...

Missing Joe McCarthy and Porter there (not that Paddy has been bad) they just monster guys on the fringes.

earl the beaver

We're not 'carrying' him, ffs. You'd swear every other half in the game makes one on one offensive tackles on the line. He's well, well, well ahead in the positive column. We are not a team who can afford to carry a defensive black hole at 10 against top sides. If Sam starts next week, we'll find o...

This commentator is shite btw.

Prendergast now defending at fullback off set pieces.

earl the beaver

Second loose Ball Prendergast has been in best position to go for and he's backed off it.

Neither hurts us due to advantage but you can't keep doing that.

earl the beaver

Was going to say there's nothing Lowe can do there, if Potter doesn't drop it then it's fine and he tries to back off.

earl the beaver

Prendergast is having an excellent game. Like ffs. If you ignore the tackling or lack thereof. His kicking has been at a different level but you can't carry someone who simply can't tackle. We're not 'carrying' him, ffs. You'd swear every other half in the game makes one on one offensive tackles on...

Lowe must have pictures of Farrells missus He is gash Lowe, Prendy and Ryan in a hot tub with her. Prendergast is having an excellent game. Like ffs. If you ignore the tackling or lack thereof. His kicking has been at a different level but you can't carry someone who simply can't tackle.

earl the beaver

We scored but wtf was meant to be happening there as there's a complete breakdown in midfield.

earl the beaver

Big Stu off already FFS.

earl the beaver

Prendergast didn't even slow him down there.

Poor from Lowe.

On his heels after rushing forward, weird stance.

earl the beaver

Prendergast rushes up there and then goes with a soak wrap, odd decision all in.

earl the beaver

Some younger players instead of Aki and Henshaw would help. I think our pack is still well capable, especially with McCarthy to come back. (Don't really rate Prendergast though, not sure how he makes the bench). The backline is looking fairly turgid both in style of play and performance. 10 is an i...

3 year extension to 2029 for Postlethwaite, 2 years to 2028 for Scott Wilson.

earl the beaver

That has zero relevance to this thread you pillock.

earl the beaver

Aki at 23 again, he was diabolical against NZ.

What odds we see Big Stu subbed off at 60 regardless of performance?

earl the beaver

Aki expected on the bench again ffs.

earl the beaver

Henshaw hadn't started the season well but he was actually one of the best players last weekend. He's also the youngest of the established 12s and the one most capable of covering 13 (even if he's less well able than maybe he was a couple of years ago). I've been a critic of his lately but it's str...

I couldn't get onto it at all yesterday morning on laptop, then could get on at lunch on my phone and then couldn't get on again in the afternoon on laptop or phone so I wouldn't necessarily say it's an AM/PM thing.

It's working a lot better today, in that I can actually access the site.

earl the beaver

Don't know if you've noticed but the bored keeps breaking during the NH dayshift.

earl the beaver

I just don't get why Henshaw was in the squad to start with.

Why not bring a younger player in?

earl the beaver

Missed a trick not having Hume in the squad.

earl the beaver

Can't access the bored on my laptop, intermittently getting on through my phone.

If Aki is back in it's an actual farce.

earl the beaver

There's a lot of talk about who calls the lineout and that maybe none of the second rows are real lineout guru types. Is it really that hard for full time professionals to call a f**king lineout? The majority of the team have been in the squad years and should know all the roles inside and out. Tel...
