Yes, with over half the table.
What's disappointing for me is that in the last 2 games in particular we've shown a real lack of nous. Something which actually looked to be growing before. I don't think the over rotation (either by design or necessity) has helped as we've had so many different combinations. Needs some of the new guys to really step up and challenge. Evans aside, I haven't seen too much from them yet.
It’s Quins - relegation is always a possibility. This season is going to be super tight and Quins along with 6 other teams will be looking over their shoulder to most of the season.
I see comments about terrible performances.
Seems harsh after four games.
Exeter - played alright, should have won. Annoying
Bristol - not great but won
Saints - spanked - pretty consistently over the seasons
Worcester - terrible game all round and the performance was poor.
Squad : I think it’s true that the quality seems higher than before, with a few players with points to prove, lawday and Evans as examples. But PG has to give them some consistency - particularly with injuries enforcing some changes.
Sarries to go down so no worries!
The way we are playing we are definitely in danger of playing championship rugby next season.
5 games played with 4 genuinely rubbish performances. We desperately need a full strength team.
I reckon Sarries will be above us by the 6 Nations. .
If we are in the championship next season at least there will be lots of local games to go to.
Story breaking tonight that Sarries will not be requesting an appeal and will take the Punishment. Deadline is Monday.
We could be given their 35 points and still be in a relegation battle the way we are playing
Next week will be a very interesting match. I had Bath as a relegation candidate but there's a togetherness there which is lacking with Quins. Didnt see Stuart Hooper as an answer to their coaching position but theyseem tobe playing for him. Will he buck the trend of ex players failing as coaches? Glad its not a Prem game.
I wonder how posters will respond if we play well, and absolutely hammer Bath. Will there be a thread asking if we're candidates to win the Prem?
If we hammer teams for the next 5 games then I wouldn't be surprised, but a one-off win against Bath...
Sarries have corrupted the League and there should be no relegation this season. Innocent clubs should not be punished.
