For anyone who hasn't seen the score, we got absolutely rinsed:
9 - 45.
Sarries won by 36pts, topping their previous biggest win by 11pts (from when they beat Tigers 25 - 50).
 
Sale assistant coach Tony Hanks appears to have been a casualty of this result

Sale are better than this result though, what went wrong?
 
*Head Coach.
Deja Vu from last season - we play like s**t, the head coach leaves "by mutual consent". Presumably Pete Anglesea will take charge in the short term...


God knows what's happening at Sale at the moment. It's like they've all forgotten how to play rugby: Falling off tackles, throwing passes to no one, dropping passes, knocking on under no pressure, no structure to the attack.
Midfield is a mess, with Tuitupou/Leota both loving crash ball so the ball ends with them, and they often rush out of the line to make a big hit and then leaving it open for the opposition to run through - Gaskell does this as well though much worse and has been the cause of several tries this season.

Steve Diamond.
 
Ironically, the problems started (or at least got much worse) when he moved away from coaching to be CEO
 
It was the same story when he was coach of Sarries. When he's involved in the coaching side, he's a cancer.

If he stuck to being a talent scout, he would be be a much more popular man.

Bet you wish you could have Chris Bell back now eh? Actually, you probably don't seeing as he's out injured for about six months
 
Aye, Bell had a great season for us last year, was sad to see him leave.

I'd like to see Will Addison given a proper go at centre, and/or Mark Jennings
