Urgh If tigers lose this then MOC needs to go don't care about the 5 game winning streak lose to this saints team at home and it will all mean nothing.

 

[ratsapprentice]

EMD should be interdasterating.

Battle of the B@stards on Friday night.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Diamonds and Richards?

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

About all I can hope from Bath is that they realise you need to have the ball to score and ffs stop giving away so many brainless penalties.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Diamonds and Richards?

I was more on about the north vs north aspect, But that works too

I think we'll need an offseason to discover that, and next season we might play a game-plan appropriate to this season, whilst everyone else has developed their game and moved on.
But hey, to use a game-plan that's 1 years out-of-date rather than 4 would be progress of a kind.

 

[Scotty]

Hoping to see Sale do well again i am enjoying watching them recently, top 4 is maybe to much of an ask but would like to see them get 5th.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Backs are going to be a bit cobbled together with Charnley, Jennings, Leota, Addison, JOC, Solomona and Haley all unavailable, but should be a good game.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Hoping for Sale to win no BP v Falcons and then get ripped apart by Exeter, with Tigers getting 2 home wins v Saints and Falcons which would then secure 4th spot before the final round I think.

Paulo.

 

[curtbob7]

oooo gotta say I fancy Falcons massively. Goneva and Sinoti breaking the line with Mcguigan at full back for Sale =walk-in try.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

McGuigan's a bad defender....?

 

[curtbob7]

From what ive seen recently yes! Stand to be corrected though

 

[TRF_Olyy]

The only time I've ever seen him be bad in defence was the Worcester game where he went for an unnecessary intercept and let in a try, but we were like 30+ up and he's scored like 5 intercepts this season so I don't begrudge him that

It's yarde vs sinoti that's the issue on defence
