I had similar at an England vs Canada game. Similar crowd iirc. Bleddy nightmare journey.

If we come top, I couldn't care less!

Although DMP are unlikely to overhaul our points diff, so maybe 133?

Seems like a reasonable shout.

A long long way.

Looking forward to Loughboro next Saturday on the 3G, even if the atmosphere there is on a par with Sixfields...

Poor first half with the ref losing his yellow card until half time. Odd performance from him, seemingly doing his best to slow the game down. Thankfully he finally woke up to Fylde's tactics and started pinging them and awarding pen. tries. Three in a match, and three yellows shows just how one...

I agree that they'll make lots of changes (be silly not to), but they have pretty good depth in the squad now. Will stick to my predictions (more in hope than anything).

Go on then. Let's have a bit of a mini score-prediction for Saturday. I really don't like predicting scores (used to do it on the coach to away games, 50p a go, winner takes all, and was so shit at it that I never ever won it). However... As it's bottom vs top, and Cov are very close to beating...

Indeed! Good, innit?

All this shit is exactly why I detest all-seater stadia. I need to be able to just drift away from the pricks and find somewhere that I don't feel like my blood pressure is going through the roof. As a Covered Ender/West Ender I could do just that (and there were plenty of pricks in there in the...

BTW, there are currently only three clubs who cannot actually overhaul Cov's points total (Fylde, Old Albanian, and Hull). Until there are none, I'm not counting any chickens ;)

With a home game next Sat against Fylde (not whipping boys per se, but definitely bottom for a reason), and DMP having to travel to Old Elthamians, there's a fair chance that Cov could be 18, 19 or even 20 points clear by 5pm. DMP then have Blackheath at home; no pushovers as Cov learned...

And they (BS) only managed to breach the Cov line after about six minutes of added time, with Cov down to fourteen (and two or three minutes would have been more realistic). Still, six tries to one is not to be sniffed at.

Probably better than that in truth.

Saw this. Excellent article and good to see that at least someone, at national level, has noticed that rugby exists below the Prem/Champ.

Yes, I understand so. I believe he was one of the 'several' signed already for next year, but brought forward due to the Stevens/Tuitupou/Dingwall situation. Tigers don't use him, so it makes sense for both sides. I guess Cov can now use it as 'trial' period eh?

I think it's a bit of a stretch to say 'most' have five on a regular basis TBF. Only Old Albanian, Loughborough Students tend to abuse the system to that extent. Plymouth have a facility with Exeter, but I don't think they've pushed it that far very often if at all. DMP tend to have two or three...

He was brought in a couple of weeks ago, but only just confirmed. No idea why it took so long! Emery, Umaga and Dingwall are also DR, as was Gabriel Oghre (who may have gone back now).

Cov sign Ravai Fatiaki (centre/half back) from Leicester. A Fiji international who also plays for the army with prop Nat Titchard-jones. Adds flexibility as cover for both out-half and 12/13, which is always welcome given the limited bench at this level (requirement for front-row cover limits...
