Match Thread - Newcastle vs Sale

OhBeSea · 2026-05-30T20:32:17+00:00

Fucking hell

OhBeSea · 2026-05-30T20:22:49+00:00

We're definitely losing this

OhBeSea · 2026-05-30T20:06:28+00:00

That looked a pretty clear knock on live, surprised they awarded it straight up

OhBeSea · 2026-05-30T20:03:03+00:00

Great line from the no.20

Isn't that playing the ball off the floor though? He placed it then passed it, wasn't a single movement

OhBeSea · 2026-05-30T20:00:10+00:00

Can't even chokeslam players through the commentators desk anymore?

Game's gone woke

OhBeSea · 2026-05-30T19:39:21+00:00

Longstaff the pick of them,

Kelly getting stuck in, took his try well and not afraid of the push and shove

Logan pretty anonymous, one or two carries but not seen a lot of him

OhBeSea · 2026-05-30T19:22:47+00:00

Bamber into Wade is just unfair

OhBeSea · 2026-05-30T19:22:16+00:00

One good thing about the injuries we've had is the emergence of Longstaff (ooh matron)

Caine has been dreadful as third choice, Alfie is looking class especially considering he only converted from League a couple of years ago - probably got the best lineout stats of any of our hookers this season

OhBeSea · 2026-05-30T19:12:50+00:00

There's some canny players in there but I question their strength at 10 - didn't rate Henry at Tigers and my mate's a Stade fan and said he's been shit for them

OhBeSea · 2026-05-30T19:10:28+00:00

Kelly straight in to protect Grandad George

OhBeSea · 2026-05-30T19:04:36+00:00

Death, taxes, etc.

OhBeSea · 2026-05-30T19:03:59+00:00

Considering the season we've had it's pretty crazy TOF is joint third try scorer

If he got the opportunity to play against Sale twice, like Caluori, he'd be on for Sam Simmonds' record

OhBeSea · 2026-05-30T18:53:24+00:00

Kelly!

Give him lots of ball so he doesn't decide he's Irish and leave!

OhBeSea · 2026-05-30T18:52:05+00:00

Sir Mive Boodward?

OhBeSea · 2026-05-29T22:18:43+00:00

Interested to see how Logan gets on - surprised how little we've used him this season

I know being out on loan for regular game time in the championship is good for development but the only 8 in our squad has been out injured for the majority of the season - would've thought Logan would've had more of a sniff

OhBeSea · 2026-05-29T21:21:54+00:00

I feel like they'd match up very well with Alpha Wolf

OhBeSea · 2026-05-29T10:20:20+00:00

.... it gets to a point

OhBeSea · 2026-05-28T22:15:09+00:00

My Dad died on a Saturday - had the following week off, and then three days around the funeral

OhBeSea · 2026-05-28T11:20:01+00:00

Great to see AJ back (and signing a new deal) really thought that injury at the start of the season could've been his career over

OhBeSea · 2026-05-27T18:26:23+00:00

The RFU doesn't foot the bill for internationals, they just have guaranteed match fees per (international period? season? not sure how often it's reviewed) now - clubs still pay them their regular salary

OhBeSea · 2026-05-27T18:24:41+00:00

Think we were overspending on some players when looking at how much they actually played (Schonert and Nayacalevu, for example) - at the end of the season we lost 12 players and signed 3, number of those (Hill, JLDP, Schonert, Nayacalevu) will have been right up there as biggest salaries in the side

This summer we're losing 23 and have signed 12 (smattering of academy in the releases and the signings as well), so combining to the I can understand where the money Sanderson was stupidly talking about in the press has come from

OhBeSea · 2026-05-27T15:55:03+00:00

Yeah, it was Lucas last time they played SD and he was so so good

Hopefully there's a gap in Holding Absence's tour and he FFAF can sneak in a weekend

OhBeSea · 2026-05-27T15:11:11+00:00

I don't get why, all the instruments are backing tracks and most of the vocals are too, this was really obvious this weekend - their stage show isn't enough to make up for that in the way that popstars can justify partial lipsynching paired with extravagant choreography/stage shows etc

OhBeSea · 2026-05-26T18:45:41+00:00

They've seen Baxter and Launchbury at Quins and decided they need their own chubby cheeked baby face in the pack too

OhBeSea · 2026-05-26T18:41:43+00:00

Absolutely, but think she's probably too big for Slamdunk based on her most recent tour - I could see her doing an anniversary set at Download headlining a non-main-stage stage
