[Teh Mite]

If Saints can't beat Sale without the WC contingent, I suspect the [strike]Bullshit[/strike] IRB windows are going to make my season ticket seem like a very expensive bit of bog roll.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Pfffffffffft

Have you not heard? There's a "revolution" in the North West?

Our scrum is going to get absolutely torn a part - will be interesting to see how the rest goes - lineout has been going well with Myall controlling it instead of Gaskell, and I think Sam Tuitupou will feature (probably from the bench) so hopefully Tonks is back at FB


Very glad that this is being televised anyway

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

This is not just Sharks-Saints... This is not just Sale-Northampton... This, this is the match match that revolves around 2 of TRF's biggest assets: Olyy and Teh Mite!

 

[TRF_Cymro]

This is not just Sharks-Saints... This is not just Sale-Nottingham... This, this is the match match that revolves around 2 of TRF's biggest assets: Olyy and Teh Mite!

Oh very dear ...

 

[Teh Mite]

Who gives a flying fudge about Nottingham?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Robin Hood?

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

Sorry... Was talking to a friend at the same moment who lives close to Nottingham (Long Eaton) and about plans to visit in November... Mixing the 2 up in the process... I see now I was talking about Northampton to him haha

Fixed it now

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Mark Easter vs his old club and Christian Day vs his (much) old(er) club

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Teams are up - Sam Tuitupou is set to make his first appearance for Sale

 

[Teh Mite]

I'm tempted to make mocking acronyms at that selection, but I know what always happens when a player who I call **** plays against Saints...

 

[Peat]

They've got more players away than you I do believe. They've got a hooker as their back-row sub. Their props are still in nappies and they've got a 19 year old winger at inside centre.

There's no excuses if Saints don't win this. Except maybe the absence of Lee Dickson.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Lee Imiolek was 21 2days ago and Henry Thomas is 19......
I think Marc Jones is only about 22/23 as well :lol:



Sale are missing 10 at the WC (plus a few out injured)
Saints are missing 8 (don't know if they've any out injured that would be playing)

That's kind of my point.

On the plus side, Scouse-Tiger-Arse has predicted a Sale win. If Guscott says the same it's almost a surefire thing of an away win! :lol:

Yeah, misunderstood you. Scouse-Tiger-Arse?

 

[Teh Mite]

 

[SelimNiai]

Frogeye Sprite?

 

[Teh Mite]

You could say that. If you were being nice.

 

[SelimNiai]

I don't plan on being nice to that Green, Red and White, one eyed cretin


Everrrrr

YYYYEEEESSSSSSSS
Sale Sharks 29 - 21 Northampton Saints


David Seymour outstanding, Peel quality, Henry Thomas a beast in the loose


Saints unlucky to lose two to the bin, but can't argue with the cards - Dowsons was for the exact thing Peels was, and Clarks was a clear barge on Macleod


Saints were unlucky not to get more penalties from the scrum, to be honest
I was very surprised/delighted when we won a few penalties from the scrum (1 at the start and a few towards the end)
