Farrell you C++T

[Danno]

also, I blame the WMB for sorting of defending a player I've been moaning about for 13 years. Ba5tards.

Feeling your pain right now

Consider it belated payback for Gavin Henson.

Haha, fair enough.

[pjm1]

That's a bit of a contradiction there mate.

Not really. It's shit technique but it's not malicious. But I suspect we aren't going to agree

So, after x number of iterations of said technique, you go from incompetent to being a......

X is variable for us all

Really incompetent fool who should know better?

I should know by now that I can’t plaster. But I still keep trying as it might be “good enough this time”.

It doesn’t make me a malicious plasterer though

It was you lot that brought Junior into this. The OP was to do with pops.

Nope blaming you personally!

I'm happy for England to bring him back into the fold. You were starting to look alright in the 6Ns, you were obviously missing his test match animal status and limited skillset.

Don't you dare forward that to Borthwick!!

If he gets anywhere near the test team, we wont need to. The commetariat will spaff themselves into a state of nirvana with articles on how we won the remaining tests. Poor old Borthwick wont be able to open. paper without someone suggesting Farrell should be picked again.

It is beyond my simple mind how anyone would willingly set the team back by so doing. Can we be that stupid? Don't answer that.

Understandable attitude if, after every time you do it badly, the plastering experts declare that, despite the evidence of your eyes, you've actually done an acceptable job and thus don't need any punishment.

And the little princess has made the bench.

[septic 9]

Because the vast majority of his dodgy tackles aren't high shots, but are shoulders to the ribs, .

Puja

that's nonsense. He aims to hit high, aims to hit the ball and dislodge it. Others try similar but manage too slide up on to head far less frequently - simply by wrapping an arm properly or trying to get a hand on the ball.

[septic 9]

Hes not a dirty player, but his tackling is and he should have learned years ago. The thing that pisses me off most is the hologram cloak over the right side of his body that somehow shows refs there was an attempt to wrap.

I think someone said along the lines of it was allowed back then. It was by certain refs for Farrell but other players were shown cards for the same or less. I clearly recall one Sarries game where he hit the ball carrier's head in 3 different incident, and I'm not sure even a pen was awarded in an of them

not a dirty player? Maybe. What he does is dangerous. He knows it is, and has been told it is. And like every player he has a duty of care to other players. As do those who select him. Had he had all the cards he should have had, it would have stopped and we would be discussing something else about him.

I said that about a dump tackle, but with a ?


He’s had a fair few yellows and reds and bans in fairness.
