Trump should claim he's absolutely langered all of the time. it wouldn't cost him the vote of a moron, and it'd be some justification for being Father Jack on the world stage

We are now in the Mitchell/Spencer era. Possibly JVP backing them up. About bloody time. We could easily skip past Spencer and have one of JVP, Quirke or even Randall on the bench. Spencer is only a couple of years younger than Youngs, or only a decade younger than Care! Which is to say Spencer's t...

Picked him when JVP and Quirke were injured. Maybe Spencer keeps the spot because Quirke is so often injured, but Quirke does look a cracking 'finisher' I'm not averse to Spencer knocking around the 2nd/3rd spot, and I don't really care even before it's hardly something to worry about. If the conver...

it rather looks like there isn't a business so in theory the shares would lose value and then no he'll not make billions. he likely can't sell at the moment as there really should be a limitation on him doing so for months, maybe even a year or so, but maybe the company can give him a waiver there f...

And the bid if it has passed MSC must entail some staged business plan that shows them moving to a 10k capacity, I presume that can't just be some shit they've scribbled on a fag packet and you actually need something in place, but it's sports administration so who knows

piquant

They did apply or were going to apply 2-3 years back for a doubling in capacity. No idea where that's at now, maybe they're in a race with Bath to see who can take the longest to actually get going with a their development

is it still just the one developed stand as things stand?

Do people really dislike Sunak more than Johnson or Truss?

The bit I liked from Mercer last night, that which made me smile as it were, was winning the lineout in the buildup to the Harris try and from having jumped at the front to win the ball Mercer has already gone past several colleagues to work across the field should he be needed on a subsequent phase...

Following a comment about Trump that's probably about Fat Donny, but on a Biden thread there remains it could go either way

Brexit is estimated at costing around £2 billion a week, and that seems a lot to me. Supposing they accidentally doubled the calculations, and there are no serious studies observing anything like that, it'd still be a loss of £50 billion a year. I don't mind if anyone wants to claim the loss of £10...

does that mean they're banning gambling firms advertising on shirts, as that would be something at least

The best thing about Trump is how he manages, with very little effort on his part, to turn normally sane and balanced people into screeching, frothing lunatics. Roll on the election! :lol: To be honest I get the impression most of them were screeching, frothing lunatics long before they joined the ...

For the record, I don't know a single person voting Tory and I would usually know loads. Same. Most Tories I know have basically gone silent since the Liz Truss debacle. The brand damage was so catastrophic (especially as the Tory go-to was that Labour would crash the economy) that it still hangs o...

Until the French picked the right SH. He didn't shit the bed, but he was hardly Dupont Ah he was better than not shitting the bed. A bit much to ask him to be comparable to Dupont though! He was a mix of good and bad. He also took some chances/liberties. What he did do was play at a good tempo, and...

It's not exactly difficult to follow, supposing you've seen the England Vs Ireland game. Watching the Furbank it's pretty apparent Frawley is doing some very odd things, either he's a very weird player, or it's a consequence of an earlier moment that does lead eventually to him being removed for a H...

Penalties are awarded at the scrum for a random act of cheating. In that there'll be any number of offences and the ref happens to pick one, sometimes they go back and forth to try and even things out, sometimes they really go for one team. Whatever it takes an inordinate amount of time and the supp...

how do you walk a scrum backwards when the other side continues pushing? there are some hard skills to master on rugby, but that one I think would prove beyond anyone really maybe if the side advancing grasp what's happening and are very nice about moving forwards you'd be able to manage walking bac...

Very clever of you to have it as the English player v a guy not nominated. You can pretend to be objective without being able to lose. :P I didn't realise JGP wasn't nominated. And I certainly wouldn't have gone for Aki over JGP. I also don't care about the award, it's a gimmick. Ireland have the o...

Earl was playing well in the first 3 games, even if very little attention was being given to England because their team performance was dire and only rose to acceptable in the last two games. Probably overall one gives the award to Earl or JGP, and then the question is do those early team performanc...

piquant

I don't agree with the crooked LO being allowed. I do, if you don’t contest a lineout, you shouldn’t win it. The counter argument there is you have two defensive pods as the team not throwing in, you mark front and middle which forces a call to go long and then the throw isn't straight. And now you...

There are reasons to want what Earl offers at 12, but it's hardly like there wouldn't be reservations, and then is it really something to trial at test level? Even supposing the player would be game Just skipping past decision making, handling, positioning, communication seems all rather odd, rather...

He's been told he needs to work to work kick chase, and you'd think he'd need to get fitter for that apart from anything else

Short Man Syndrome wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2024 6:35 pm With a giant lump at 6, the prospect of Earls at 7 and Mercer at 8 would be pretty mouthwatering.

We have some nice options, now to select some that will (a) deliver and (b) deliver a balance across the backrow, pack and XV.

Gats really doesn't look like he eats a sausage roll

Ah yes, and potentially Mercer.

Though he's where Earl was before Earl had a good run of games. He has talent but so far hasn't been able to deploy it

No Curry, Pearson, Willis, never mind the Pollock even?

I'm not saying don't play them. Merely don't start adding more than say 10-15 senior games a season, and yes those are ever so slightly plucked from the air figures, don't let them go nuts on the weights even if they can push them absent concerns about skeletal maturity and because their game time ...
