Bath v Leicester

[Banquo]

Cook was dropped because of his 10 mins in the bin cost us the game at Saints,Homer showed he's nowhere near ready and from his charge down in the first minute he was struggling ,Bath man management has been awful this season and our lack of top class 9 will cost us again next year.

Do you not think Cook is up to it, either?

Talent is there, kicking a bit inconsistent, and his discipline hasn't been inconsistent so much as just not good enough. Worth carrying on with him absent of a much better alternative given age and skillset (and it would seem suitability to play 9 in this Bath team)

I like the cut of his jib, but can't quite rationalise it.

I find it very hard to judge any Bath player based on this season, it's been a mess, but Cook seems to have some skills. He can pass, for one.

Probably some surds

quite. Yet p/d chooses to vent all over poor George.

I had a strong flashback to rationalising the denominator in the lead up to the 11+, and paired that with I think a reasonably well known Goran Ivanisevic line about some Serbs to given the sort of everyday (attempt at) humour people have come to deride so frequently.

It didn't seem worthy of its own thread but I found this interesting on Veianu.

"12 tries in 25 matches have made him a firm crowd favourite – some turnaround for a man who managed just 16 appearances in five disappointing Super Rugby years."

It really shows how much difference the right mindset/habitat makes to some players, like a reverse Tikoiratuma. He's great to watch.

Harrison has played in 23 games but only started 11.

Point is he is easily good enough to be a Premiership starting SH week in, week out.

But where?

I suggested a trip across the midlands to Saints would be perfect in a thread a while back.

Nothing against the bloke but no thanks!
