What would you give for De Klerk to be English, or for us to have a scrum half who does what he does. Fast to the break down and get it away with pace and accuracy.

After the failed grubber that led to Newcastle‘s fourth try, there’s definitely some English blood in there somewhere!

Right well, this has gotten silly now. Newcastle have completely stopped doing what they were doing for the first 20 and Sale are just unrecognisable.

He can be as petulant as he likes when he's playing like this.

IT wasn't just him they were running through though.

Imagine how bad this could have gotten for the falcons if the TMO had seen Graham punching Curry in the head while he was on the floor.

More entertaining than you could possibly have imagined after 20 minutes.

He had a great game, but I'm a bit conflicted about a guy who sent another player for a HIA, by punching him in the back of the head, twice, whilst he was on the floor, getting MoTM.

Yep and they knew it had happened as they mentioned it in commentary. On the plus side, if we do pick him in the EPS then at least he doesn’t have an Scottish accent.

Cracking game. I did not expect that degree of excitement. That was the first time I'd seen Graham play. I can see why Eddie likes him. Basically, he's Armand with an extra few yards of pace.

It would seem Graham has been inspired by the leadership of Hartley

That wasn't the only bit of niggle Webber was involved in.

In Graham's defence, it wasn't like Curry was just lying there not doing anything. He was clinging onto Graham's leg for dear life to stop him from getting back into the line. While I don't condone it, I can certainly understand why Graham gave him a couple of cuffs to the back of the head.

Is it just me, or was his defence a little suspect?

Hitting some one in the back of the head is actually quite dangerous if you are as strong as these guys. Banned in combat sports for a reason.

I was surprised the TMO missed the Webber incident in the 1st half. It looked poor at the time and will doubtless get him a ban.
I hate seeing players hold on to opponents but Graham is likely to cop a ban too for his strike on Curry. Thats a pity as he was really good and showed what he can offer. His England call up seems perfectly sound given that kind of performance.
Yet again Sale were asleep in the opening quarter, allowing Falcons to get away from them. Great effort to come back and take the lead. I fear thats made it a top 6 finish very unlikely given their last 2 fixtures.
