Bottlers : Sat Oct 13, 2018 7:25 pm  

Sorry to be blunt but its what we are esp with what must go down as the worst half back pairing in donkey’s years.

Far from it. I thought it was a cracking final with both sides out on their feet at the end. Unfortunately one team has to lose and the rugby gods seem to insist on it being us.

We are bottlers 2 finals again and lost em both again...

I thought the game was pretty dull.
Stoppage after stoppage. It was like American grid iron.

Re: Bottlers : Sat Oct 13, 2018 8:01 pm  

It was pretty brutal so it's hardly surprising that there were stoppages. As usual some people will be looking for scapegoats but as far I'm concerned everyone gave 100% and you can't ask for more than that.

Re: Bottlers : Sat Oct 13, 2018 8:06 pm  

There were 3 backs and 2 forwards I cannot say eft everything on that pitch.
Not scapegoats just let down.

Worst Roberts > Tompson > Brown > BMM > Patton

tbf it wasn't a good final, best team won, but poor match, was hoping you guys would win as always enjoyed the banter with your fans,

Re: Bottlers : Sat Oct 13, 2018 8:41 pm  

I don't think the players bottled it, the halves and attacking structures have been mediocre all season.

The better team over the season won and this game won. Hopefully Austin is a big upgrade on that joke who hobbled off.

BMM has been a poor signing for you, but he's used wrong. He's no wide running second rower, far too easy to tackle out wide and he has zero abillity with the ball. Play him as an impact prop and get him to run hard and straight for 10 minutes twice a game and you'd have a more effective player. He's so unfit he looks distressed every time he gets the ball out wide.

Nothing to do with bottlers, all to do with just simply not being good enough.

We’ve done amazingly well this season and have surpassed expectations massively, but it’s time for Steve Price to be ruthless and get a half back partner for Blake Austin who isn’t Kevin Brown. Until he does, we’ll continue to fall short.
