Premiership 24/25 - Round 8

[Which Tyler]

Radwan "tackles" Ewels around the nose, but gets driven back about 7-8 metres, and Charlie gets his first try in 6 years.

Well played Tempest there.
Crowd not happy, but that's just beery bias

Newc 15 - 40 Bath
FT

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Really good game from Carpenter considering the conditions,
Decent showing from Rodd too

5pts secured, onto the next one

Nayacalevu definitely not getting his optional year activated, 4 mins today and second game with zero touches of the ball

 

[West Country Wail]

We, Chiefs, are in free fall.

We, Chiefs, are in free fall.

So didn't see much of the game, how bad was it?

 

[The Seeker]

Alright Cherry & Whites!

Bristol's away record is insane. I think I'm going to go all out and tip them to win the Premiership this season.

I'm not a particular fan of Pat Lam's but he's done an amazing job in turning Bristol's fortunes around. At one stage he looked like he was close to being canned but credit to their board for backing him.

Harding is a very underrated player who should be making the England A squad at the very least. Probably fair to say he doesn't have any standout attributes but his all round skill set is very good and he's incredibly consistent.

My dreams of Sarries not even getting a LBP don't look like they'll come true

 

[Arcturus]

Some cracking rugby, borderline suicidal defence which has come off as great entertainment.

Saints struggling under the high ball despite the wind advantage.

Still 40min to go!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yellow card fair for that, I think - very borderline though, and he's stayed down for a long time now, if it were red you wouldn't argue it much

What's people's thoughts on Pearson?

What's people's thoughts on Pearson?

Looked poor in the first half but has picked up a lot since the hairdryer treatment at half time

Hendy has had a mare under the high ball - obviously conditions are poor, but you'd want someone pushing for international honours to do better than this

Agree on Hendy..his England audition hasnt gone well.

I'm still jury's out on Pearson. He has the attributes and skills but I just don't see them together enough. I just always feel like I want to see more from him.
