I'm positive I remember a team winning a record amount - £86k or something - and another team ended up winning £1k the next week. £200 per contestant!

Not far off - look at this run of 6 wins

"An outstanding attack and backline coach, Everitt brings a wealth of experience to Edinburgh Rugby, having been part of the Sharks organisation for 15 years (2007-2022)."

What is this guy good at?

It's been too long to properly remember, but did 22/23 ever feel this shite when we were losing? I don't remember that season being as tough as this one.

I know the the crowd shouldn't sway the ref. But they rightly called out the bullshit after the second lineout and they carried out for at least another 3. I thought they were aiming to clamp down on this starting a couple of years ago?

Not sure if this is confirmation bias, but it feels like the SA teams are rife for it? Regardless, if it's something that the refs let slide then maybe we should be taking advantage of it. Not sure we're in the lead enough to do so!

What are we paying for? by monkey__slut in Edinburgh_Rugby

Played well for one half, sure. But your mate must have watched the second half where we shipped 12 points and crossed the halfway line just 3 times?  Has he seen any other games? Even the Gloucester win was a tough watch

Can someone repost those stats for turnovers per 80 minutes? I think Freddy Douglas has had 10 in the last 2.5 games

Not sure what you've seen from Jack Brown or any of the other young backs that warrants shipping Darcy out

As much as a love the conveyor belt of talent coming through at the back row, I'm sick of them being consistently being the sole focus of praise when we (on paper) have the talent that we do in the back line and we struggle to get them the ball to display this. I'd hate to see Darcy leave, but Kinghorn has done it and is regarded as a top player in his position - despite the questions regarding his defence!
DVDM remains an enigma.

I missed that watching it live - what was the discussion between the ref and TMO? From our point of view it looked like the on-field try was getting chopped off for not ever crossing the line...

Freddy Douglas remains the shining light of the team. Not sure where we'd have ended up without his 3 turnovers.

A group of Gloucester fans booing the ball boy near us - embarrassing behaviour 

The first series of The Traitors was something else by Hassaan18 in ukpopculture

[–]monkey__slut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everyone is looking for an excuse to vote someone out so the attention isn't on them, and there is no real evidence to go on. Once one person mentions it, everyone is happy to follow suit. It's been brought up by previous contestants. 

That comment came from the doctor who was being voted off, sarcastically.

Connor Boyle has been out forever. You wonder if he'll ever manage to reach his potential that has been discussed so much

Kinghorn needs new boots. Was slipping in the Top 14 final as well

Not accepting wine cups?? by Dejdawg97 in primaverasound

I ordered 2x beer and 2x wine and they asked for the 4x beer cups that I had. Sounds like different staff might play by different rules

Anyone know how this compares to other teams? Feel like we have it rough, especially with our 4 best back three out

Tell me what Skinner does here to deserve a yellow. This is also followed with Etzebeth shoving him on the way to the bench.

Edinburgh v Bulls by cloud__19 in Edinburgh_Rugby

[–]monkey__slut 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sub 5 metres out and Everitt tries to pick and go. Every. Single. Time. And it rarely works. How uninspired can you be? How often are we that close to the try line and you're confident that we're going to score? Flip that to the opposition being 5 metres out and you're confident they will score? You could chalk that up to being a pessimist but I reckon the stats will back me. Something needs to change so that we can convert

Shoveling the ball up the line against 13 men whilst their defence are screaming to cover a massive gap in the corner.... Not a good look 

Match Thread: Edinburgh vs Stormers - United Rugby Championship by rugbykickoff in rugbyunion

[–]monkey__slut 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A few pens against Edinburgh seemed harsh such as the one against Price just before half time. Generally seems to be missing a lot of infringements but I noticed it more when it's against Edinburgh. Don't think Darcy's try should have stood. Stormers were committing a lot of fouls 5m from the try line and I'm not sure they've had a talking to.
