Sale Vs Tigers

I reckon Tigers would’ve won if JVP had started.

If JVP had been able to replace Wigglesworth on 50/55 as planned I think we might have managed to sneak it.

Indeed, JVP was basically learning on the job at 15.

Far from the end of the world to lose that. You found out about a few players, especially important going into the international period, and dominated a less depleted, and therefore very strong, side in the first half. You're still topping the table after all

I was baffled by the commentators eulogising Burns after his substitution; I thought he was shit and deserved to come off. Turned over great attacking ball on 4 glaring occasions, missed touch from a crucial penalty kick, and offered little threat in attack - had he been less rubbish, then we would've been out of sight and the comeback never would have been on.

The mistake was replacing him with JVP, as we badly needed him to replace Wigglesworth as he tired - the charge down came from Wigglesworth getting caught at the base and giving Hegarty crap ball. We may not have had anyone who could play 15 by preference, but surely one of Socino, Potter or Scott could have made a half-decent fist of it? Or keep Hegarty at 15 and bring on Socino at 10.

I was the under the impression that both Porter and Potter had played fullback at Sydney University. Could have put Saumaki onto the wing and one of the two to 15.
