Honestly - WTF have you been watching?

Talei was utter gash, gave up and then wimped off. Yapp is just utter utter rubbish. Titterall too.

Rees is a journeyman with the acceleration of a prop and a propensity to pass way above his 10s head. Tonks hasn't been quite as gash as the rest, but that's hardly anything to crow about.

I am having to go to the Doctor.

Agreeing with concernedposter again.

Pretty harsh on Hunter after that baptism of fire. He was showing signs of promise. If he's fit, start him against Scarlets with Greig at 9

It's like a stopped clock, if you wait long enough you agree with it.

Shows his lack of rugby knowledge

I just can't agree on that. They have both been TonySpreadbury about beyond belief by the coaching staff. Hunter starts two in preseason and then get jettisoned for Laidlaw only to be thrown in later. Leonard similar, you have to show some confidence, no other country would treat their young players like that. I'm not saying either are the answer but if you give them contracts they have to be given a decent run.

Stand offs take years to grow into their position - are you seriously expecting a youngster to shine with all that jamesmatthew going on around him and a SH who mostly passes above his head.

I really don't see any need to get rid of the players. We know they can play well purely from last seasons form. I am a bit concerned over Atiga tendency to get injured and I think the money being spent on him may be being wasted currently.
I think Yapp is a decent squad player but perhaps we should be looking for a better loose head for the first team.
Rees is not a journeyman, he is a very good player in my opinion. However, playing as a scrum half in a team that is losing all the collisions and failing to get over the gain line, must be very difficult.

I hate to say it as it seems to be a bit a scumball mentality, but I think it is time for the coaching team to go. I wouldn't mind too much if Back was allowed to stay as he has only been here a couple of months but similarly I wouldn't really care if he went either!

What we would do for a Dean Richards!!!

Beginning to wonder if Atiga's been carrying an injury since pre-season. Hasn't he been out twice with his hip? I don't know what the problem was today but maybe we'd have seen more from him if he was given time to recover.

Can't disagree with the rest of your post though.
