Correct, expectations of TL 3 years ago were way over the top and he's not fulfilled them, is that down to the clubs coaching methods or the player himself?

He's "suffered" because we have been spoilt with hookers for as long as I can remember, have we ever had a poor first choice hooker?

Who did we have before Dean Treister? Was it Lee jackson?

Easily forgettable is his problem!! The quins were begging for the chip over for 60 mins of the match but no one in B&W had the guts or guille to try it , if TL is to excell he needs to try some of that cheeky flair he had before it was coached out of him!!

Do you think the players are scared to 'chance their arm' so to speak, Hall for instance did, got taken in to touch on first tackle, agree though the little chip over was there for all to see, Thorman probably had more chance to do it in first half too

I reckon Hall will have got a right bollocking for that as well, but like i said on the night, if it was dry, it was try time! We should be encouraging people to take more risks and play off the cuff imo

Why on earth would TL be the player to put the little chip kick in?

I'll be the first to say over the past few year's Tommy Lee is Crap!
BUT he's being playing OK over the last few rounds
He's definetly not a Hooker Berro and Houghton are 1st n 2nd followed by Hodgeson.
He's Not a Half back Thorman , Horne and Washy are in that place before him .
what he's doing at the moment is great and i think he play's better when not under so much pressure like when he's at Half back or Hooker.

He is slotting in well to the back row/loose man positon. His defence is very good and puts some good hits in. But i do think he could be a very good hooker

He shouldn't, but no one else in the team has the guts to try it.
