Premiership 24/25 - Round 3

[TRF_Olyy]

I feel that teams depths are greatly overrated
Pretty much all the teams outside of a couple are fairly equal in terms of depth.

Agree for the most part but think Bath's depth is pretty crazy

Idk I feel crazy is pretty relative.

Without Russel they look very different on paper not saying Bailey isn't good but it's a big drop, same with Spencer.

I didn't realise Gabriel Ogre was such a good player. Flatman says England are stacked for hookers which is why Ogre doesn't get a sniff for England. Im not sure about that.

Until recently his lineout throwing has been pretty poor. He's a good player but he's not better than those currently in the squad or Langdon.

Also he has had 'a sniff'. As @TRF_Olyy said, he's been called up in the recent past.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Really good game, that

 

[Rinkadink]

COME ON BRIIISSSSSS

Avoiding thread because I need to catch up on other match last night but I'm bouncing. Think that was a GG for the neutral as well? Stoked, means a lot.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Nice seeing the Martin and chessum combo in terms of carrying, Martin into traffic whilst Chessum makes gains in the outsides.
They have a really nice balance

Lots of stagnant meh from us...but I just don't know why Obatoyinbo and Stuart are picked over Redshaw and Davis.

Martin and Chessum putting their hand up for the England engine room spots...

 

[Geordie]

I'll call it now....we won't win a game this season.

It is tough to see where a win comes from with Wuss and Irish gone
I could see you beating us at KP though

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Tigers will prob have another card in them for falcons to get the win

Tbh us at KP too

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Watson looks really really slow

 

[Geordie]

Tigers are a good powerful side...and will develop a wider attack aswell.

Chessum, Martin impressive and perese wow...in the flesh he's impressive. But it's easy to look good playing us.

We're just poor. One or two players would make other teams...not many.

At least relegation means I can just stick to watching my local team next season instead of the effort to come up here to KP every game to watch rubbish.

Nah not a chance. Out starting hooker can't throw, our starting full back can't catch, pass or show any intelligence, our 9 is so slow ..and I can go on.

I'll actually say...if we go down this season which is likely ..we will be in trouble and may go to a part time side

What's a premiership XV of really good players who where hindered by poor teams

My fantasy XV has Etzebeth and his twin brother in the row. But if you believe in balance then these 2 pretty much have it all, and a club combination too. Itoje's sort of a bit of both, but he has a unique style and I'm not sure we've really had anyone he's gelled brilliantly with as a combination since Kruis, obviously also a club mate.

Adam Radwan

 

[Geordie]

Adam Radwan

Should have moved on years ago

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Chris Pennell is another one I think is a prime example

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Tobias Elliot is very very good

Josh Hodge might have the worst defence of any 15 in the league, the calls for him to be in the England squad are crazy
