Premiership Rugby 22/23 - Rd 4

[TRF_Olyy]

Moroni is so good, great signing by Falcons


Falcons so up for this game - commentary mentioned how Bristol didn't look bothered in the warm up, laughing and joking etc., and it looks it in the game
The ferocity in some of these tackles - even from the backs, Carreras, Penny and Radwan some of the slightest players on the pitch and they're cutting people in half

 

[Ferrari333SP]

Agreed, great signings, and some of these tackles have been absolutely massive

 

[Geordie]

I agree Carreras has been class.

What a tremendous player....

Definitely...I saw the shoots of a decent team here tonight. The centres especially....

Don't forget Collett...please just stay fit.

Carreras is one of the best wingers in the prem.

That Newcastle pen looked a bit suspect to me, neither of them looked like they were supporting themselves.

Mind you, the Newcastle knock on a few minutes before didn't look forward either.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Surprised they didn't just go for a 15 man maul there

 

[Ferrari333SP]

OMG, what a try!!!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Banger try,

Bristol starting Lane and having Ioan Lloyd playing prem cup is a mad choice in hindsight really

 

[Geordie]

Awwww Carreras

 

[Geordie]

Well after despondency last week....genuine hope now

 

[TRF_Olyy]

The guy shouting behind that conversion haha

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

I think Falcons have the potential to be a genuine mid tier team
I think the top teams have too much money and power in the pack for them to go a full game against.

But Bristol need Genge to play every game possible

 

[Geordie]

You see I would be happy with that Tigs....

That's not unambitious (not wanting the very top )...its realistic with our funding.

But if we can build and become a team thats aggressive and just horrible to play against particularly up here then I'm a happy man.

That was a great start tonight.

Challenging for top 6/7 every season would be massive for Falcons.

 

[BPM]

Part of what makes the Premiership a good league is how competitive it is.

I've got a soft spot for Falcons but top 6/7 is too ambitious with their current squad IMO.

They can absolutely be a team that's 'aggressive and horrible to play against' though.

 

[Mr Burns]

With our budget (we have the 14th biggest in England, we even spend less than Ealing) then aiming for 10/9/8 is probably the best we can hope for.

That 4th place finish a few years ago really should be held up as one of the greatest feats of the prem in recent memeory.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

LCD out here trying to end people's knees with these "tackles"

 

[Geordie]

How is Ben Earl not in Eddie Jones thoughts...Best 7 in the league.

 

[Jimbo]

Sarries looking good can't remember Tigers D being opened up like this the last few seasons.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

thoughts...Best 7 in the league.

Fantastic rugby player but best openside?
He's mmmaaaayyyybbbbeeee top 5

There's T.Curry, J.Willis, Reffell and W.Evans above the rest, then there's a 2nd tier with a bunch more in that could make claims for the 5th spot

Would still have him on the bench for England, don't get me wrong
