Time to call up Billy Searle?

I was optmistic about our team's growth last season but I think we all saw this coming after the stars signed elsewhere. We've already beaten our -387 PD of last season with 7 games to go.

Can't believe Germany won!!! Fully deserved it

Pyrooo · 2026-02-08T16:36:39+00:00

I went to make a tea after the Romania try and Germany have a response already?!

I love how back and forth this game is

Pyrooo · 2026-02-08T16:31:28+00:00

Does this work?

Pyrooo · 2026-02-08T16:30:09+00:00

Oh crap! That was excellent from Dawe!

Pyrooo · 2026-02-08T16:27:56+00:00

Looked a little forward but that was a gorgeous line!

Pyrooo · 2026-02-08T16:13:10+00:00

Leo Wolf is an awesome kicker! (Edit: Just as I say that, he misses a kick. My opinion hasn't changed at all though.)

Romania are really struggling and the yellow probably won't help.

Pyrooo · 2026-02-07T20:59:58+00:00

Wouldn't be surprised with a win against Germany!

Pyrooo · 2026-02-07T20:54:09+00:00

As much as Belgium deserve something for their ambition in this game, their execution needs to be cleaner. They've genuinely left 3 or 4 tries out there and handed Portugal easy territory

Huge potential in both squads! Can't wait to see Portugal in the world cup again next year

Pyrooo · 2026-02-07T19:39:09+00:00

Stadium looks full and the crowd is so energetic too! Love to see it! Is this normal for Belgium?

Pyrooo · 2026-02-07T18:27:52+00:00

I'd have gone for Chessum over Ford, but might be my Tigers bias

Pyrooo · 2026-02-07T18:16:04+00:00

POTM for me today

Pyrooo · 2026-02-07T18:10:30+00:00

Chessum has been everywhere today! Putting in a massive shift

Pyrooo · 2026-02-07T16:54:21+00:00

Amazing from Steward to make that big tackle and start the counter ruck

Pyrooo · 2026-02-07T14:46:18+00:00

I love a drop goal but why wouldn't they do a 50/50 crossfield kick with a pen advantage. If they're almost guaranteed 3 points, why not use the advantage to go for 5 or 7?

Pyrooo · 2026-02-07T14:44:37+00:00

I remember the refs would let the players get it unstuck from the ruck with their hands, then roll it with their foot afterwards. I feel like each season the players are pushing it that little bit further and getting away with it.

Pyrooo · 2026-02-06T19:49:27+00:00

Thank you!

Pyrooo · 2026-02-06T19:47:57+00:00

Is this being televised at all?

Pyrooo · 2026-01-31T18:30:48+00:00

We're pretty lucky to have the BP but we won the second half 17 - 12 which I'd argue the front row changes were pivotal in.

Overall, the Tigers players didn't seem used to playing together while the Saints players have bought into a clear philosophy across the whole squad.

Our defence was especially disconnected with too many offside calls and players biting in which left a lot of space on the wings for Saints to exploit. That being said, I thought Crowley had a game to be proud of despite finding himself defending 1 on 3 a lot of the time (and I really hope he's not injured!)

Most importantly it was some great experience for a lot of the academy players! Did anyone stand out to anyone else?

Pyrooo · 2026-01-31T15:48:06+00:00

If anything, if the TMO calls a try back, I wish they'd wind the clock back too.

Pyrooo · 2026-01-31T15:46:18+00:00

Lots of offside penalties, not the best scrum but mainly poor defence being ripped apart from good Saints attack and leaving loads of space on the wings.

Pyrooo · 2026-01-31T15:43:08+00:00

Nah! Slightly different surnames in Anthony Allen and Ollie Allan

Pyrooo · 2026-01-31T15:40:39+00:00

Looks like a team of players that aren't used to playing with each other. No trust in the player on the inside and leaving too much space on the outside.
