Just watched highlights and child gave you twelve points. I can see why a lot not happy as we are nearly as bad as last year and you didn't win convincingly.

You are very bad I'd say you were lucky to score 4.

The opposition was weak but there is a positive in our defensive resolve from last night. Success is built on defence and we will need a lot more of the same going forward. It's clear the senior (best) players are 100% behind the cause with their performances. It was noticeable how similar Miller and Sneyd are - both running touchline to touchline. Miller maybe has a little more pace than Sneyd. Both run at least 5 yards away from the opposition line which commits no one defensively. Carlos' try was made by an excellent line by Washy not any real trickery by Sneyd. He should be made to sit down and watch never ending loop videos of Sean Long's playing career. He used to commit defenders and take the ball to the line. Sure he got battered a lot of times but it's that type of player we need at scrum half.

Good point , A few of us were talking last night about Sneyd's inability to take on the line , It's part of his game he needs to step up on .

As well as passing and tackling.

listened to RH while watching the game and I think Mike White is a fine commentator who calls the game well. He needs to be used more. Compare him with the bungling buffoon Gwilym. I also like Richard Stead and Lee Richardson despite his Rovers leaning always gives a good insight into the game. I also think they could find someone else instead of Nick "you know" Pinkney. I don't have a problem with them mentioning City's biggest game of the season as our game last night was tedious.

Two dodgy tries out of 4 in total, it doesn't say much for you either

Lloyd is by far the worst sports commentator I have ever had the misfortune to endure. Pinkney's summary insight makes Terry O'Connor sound like the President of MENSA.

Like you say, Stead's ok, gets a bit screamy when a try is scored but on the whole you can follow the game. Richardson just slates everyone in equal measure, and rarely has a good word for anyone. I feel sorry for his missus, I reckon she will stab him eventually.

Lee Richardson is a great bloke. Call what he sees. Mostly two mediocre teams over the last few years.
