Have they rested loads of players? Looks a fairly close approximation to a first XV to me. Skinner, Slade, Gray and Hogg missing.
Yep, need lots more to stamp it out.
Whitten on the wing and no slade or hogg??sockwithaticket wrote: ↑Sat Jan 02, 2021 4:31 pm The pack's definitely got whiff of B team about it, but that's close to a first choice back line I think.
Not without an element of that ourselves. West, T. Willis and Gaskell (especially in the back row) aren't first choice picks.
Whitten's played quite a bit on the wing for them this season and he's rarely not in the 23 in some capacity. I did say close to rather than actually, first choice.JM2K6 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 02, 2021 5:28 pmWhitten on the wing and no slade or hogg??sockwithaticket wrote: ↑Sat Jan 02, 2021 4:31 pm The pack's definitely got whiff of B team about it, but that's close to a first choice back line I think.

No, but if you regularly or even typically are part of the matchday squad, it means you're hardly some nobody squad player they've dredged up out of nowhere either which is often what people think of when we start dealing with terms like seconds, B team etc.
He's been out since surgery at the end of the last one, though? That's really odd.
that is ridiculous; & as with a lot of these, so unnecessaryPaddington Bear wrote: ↑Sat Jan 02, 2021 6:05 pm How on earth are they not looking at that Du Preez ‘tackle’?
They did, he wraps his arms, goes very low, and seems to hit the back rather than the head. It's nasty, but nothing wrong that I could see?Paddington Bear wrote: ↑Sat Jan 02, 2021 6:05 pm How on earth are they not looking at that Du Preez ‘tackle’?
Yeah their numbers are weird. I'm sure you're right, I just can't find a source to say so!sockwithaticket wrote: ↑Sat Jan 02, 2021 6:04 pmHe's been out since surgery at the end of the last one, though? That's really odd.
The guy is already on the floor and DdP twats him in the back of the neck with his shoulderRaggs wrote: ↑Sat Jan 02, 2021 6:08 pmThey did, he wraps his arms, goes very low, and seems to hit the back rather than the head.

Looked like a flying shoulder to the head of a defenceless player to me.Raggs wrote: ↑Sat Jan 02, 2021 6:08 pmThey did, he wraps his arms, goes very low, and seems to hit the back rather than the head.

Looks like an attempted tackle, very low, hitting the shoulder to me on a dropping player. Very nasty, unnecessary, but I don't know how easily you could argue it was illegal.Paddington Bear wrote: ↑Sat Jan 02, 2021 6:12 pmLooked like a flying shoulder to the head of a defenceless player to me.Raggs wrote: ↑Sat Jan 02, 2021 6:08 pmThey did, he wraps his arms, goes very low, and seems to hit the back rather than the head.

On height alone it's a dreadful tackle. The shoulder, the fact that the player was already on the floor, and the damage are all just additional problems.Raggs wrote: ↑Sat Jan 02, 2021 6:13 pmLooks like an attempted tackle, very low, hitting the shoulder to me on a dropping player.

He did kill the game. Hope he gets a fine.Paddington Bear wrote: ↑Sat Jan 02, 2021 6:16 pm Water carrier gets more than he bargained for trying to kill the game. Move on
Just had a quick flick through the match reports on their site, Nowell definitely hasn't featured this season in the Prem. And Whitten has started all 5 games, centre rather than wing on most occasions.JM2K6 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 02, 2021 6:09 pmYeah their numbers are weird.

Yeah I’m surprised Gloucester didn’t get that pen. If 36 had lamped him I’d feel differentlyRaggs wrote: ↑Sat Jan 02, 2021 6:19 pmHe did kill the game. Hope he gets a fine.Paddington Bear wrote: ↑Sat Jan 02, 2021 6:16 pm Water carrier gets more than he bargained for trying to kill the game. Move on
Have to assume they saw something from Yarde that the replays didn't show, since they seemed to focus just on 36.
He got dragged by the head/neck by a substitute, from what I saw. But they were banging on about a "headbutt" from "someone" "somewhere". Sounded like they were really keen for something to have happened.
Those two shouldn't be allowed to do Leicester games at all, let alone together.
