Mostly same as last weekend but no Daf Jenkins or Slade which is some leaders missing. But strong pack.

I rate that young winger Ridl highly...looks a classy player.

Isnt the young centre supposed to be highly rated aswell...Lilley

wtf is that backrow, man - and only one actual lock in the side, and zero cover from the bench for it
Just disband the club

 

[Saintjay]

Happy with that, like the bench. No Mitch or Cole's. Hey ho thanks England!

 

[AngloScotsHybrid]

I see Harry Palmer is on the bench for Tigers. I bet he can slip across the tryline unnoticed.

Potential for the biggest scoreline in Prem history on Sunday

 

[Scotty]

Nice start and now back 10m out.

 

[Geordie]

Clutching at straws but forward pass

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Chiefs having their way with the Newcastle defence


Who was the young centre at Chiefs a season, maybe two, ago who looked really good? He was huge, really tall - came out of nowhere and in like three games had people talking about an international future but then think he got injured?

Zack Wimbush - what ever happened to him?

 

[Scotty]

Clutching at straws but forward pass

He was stood still and the Ridl was closer to the 5m line than him when he caught it....therefore definitely a try as I want 7 points

 

[Geordie]

Lilley looks good and I rate that Ridl so highly

 

[Geordie]

These games for us are just about the squad players trying to earn contracts.

I'm not convinced many are putting their hand up

 

[TRF_Olyy]

18mins into the game and Exeter backs only making one tackle is crazy - Arundell putting in a transfer request

 

[Geordie]

But Exeter look very impressive

 

[Geordie]

Is Paul Bampo worth an A team shout?

 

[Scotty]

Is Paul Bampo worth an A team shout?

I remember his first season and soon as a ball when high he was lost in every sense. Always had decent defence but its his reading of the game that has improved but needs to improve abit more before England, maybe an a shout.

I really rate him though. And Glad to have PBB IFW Woodburn and Ridl.

 

[Geordie]

Phew. ....

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That's a poor missed tackle on Wade, fully had both his legs and lost them

Great work from Wade though, literally just a pass and pray and he comes up with one

 

[Scotty]

I'd just let it go if i saw him coming...

Exactly, whilst a v good try it was made for the sheer pressure after 1 bad tackle that should have been relatively simple.

 

[Geordie]

You can't fault Exeter...they're a very impressive outfit. The speed and physicality of their play has been top class.

 

[Geordie]

Great tactics...give it to wade no matter what...even with 4 defenders on him

 

[PremRugbyScorigami]

Exeter 38-14 Newcastle

NO Scorigami

This is the 4th instance of this score

First Game: 19/5/02 Northampton 38-14 London Irish
Last Game: 3/1/25 Harlequins 38-14 Newcastle
