Premiership Rugby 20/21 - Rd 21

[Jimbo]

I think cause they can add explosion to that physicality.
Tigers for example are physical but like that ability to be as explosive IMO

There is that I just don't think others bring a constant unrelenting physicality that Exe have for some time and Sale have started doing, pair that with a bench that continue that theme and at times increase it and it's a big ask for any team to cope with.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Tigers should have started Kelly, Scott is having a mare

 

[Rinkadink]

Get in Randall!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Randall doing what Randall does best

 

[Geordie]

17-0 at half time

And Eddie is at KP

Stand outs so far...Radwan, Mcguigan and Burrell a beast in the midfield. Ted hill the other who has stood out for his sheer physicality and tackling...in a pack going backwards a majority of the time

Ollie Lawrence pretty anonymous...our defence has been brutal...lead by Burrell

 

[BPM]

Are you saying Burrell should get an England recall or are you just has had a stand-out 40mins?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Here's the thing why can't Falcons play like that more often?
Every season Falcons seem to finish the final couple of weeks really well usually with younger players.

Then Deano next season will play hardly any of them

Defo not for England mate, hes been consistently excellent this season...but today hes stood out,

Relegation no risk tactics. He has them in shackles and rarely releases them. It frustrates every Falcon fan. We are not a pleasant side to play when we are like this...

Hopefully we'll stick with this style and the shackles off

Just checking

I've written McGuigan off as England option in the past, but the more I think about it, why should it be too late for him? He's also been consistently excellent this season and it's not like Dunn or Singleton have nailed down the 3rd choice spot.

But no relegation has been a thing for like months now.
So why not earlier?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

McGuigan would be a good option IMO, along with Capon.

I don't rate Singleton at all tbh,

Dunn I like, but his disciplinary record has to be taken in to account. It's a shame because he was treated poorly by EJ in the Autumn, but then equally maybe that's a sign that EJ just doesn't rate him and will be looking at the next in line now that youngsters have an extra season under their belt/other players (i.e. McGuigan) have put their hands up

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Singleton at Worcester was great IMO.
But since then his form has dropped off a cliff

If you have the answer please tell all the Falcons fans

Mcguigan us absolute class. Does everything do well. And not afraid to put huge hits in either.

I massively questioned why on earth we were signing Burrell....I'm eating my words with his performances this season. The guy has been a rock.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Needless push, that was always bouncing over Youngs

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

I guess Deano might have been scared of losing that top 8 spot?
and now that's gone as you say shackles are let off

Yep. Totally agree, although he has improved in recent weeks.
