Paul G Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 I'm ever the optimist, a poor game tonight but 2 wins on the bounce. Next Friday will see where we are against Northampton. Win that then there is hope. We can do it, we definitely have the players to do it, it depends if we click. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 Pat said afterwards that he's looking forward to the weather getting better and pitches drying out because it'll suit our style of play better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freezer Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 Scrappy but I'll take the win, that's what it's all about, especially against the wax jackets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice win for Bears. Aside from the top two, all positions up for grabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elhombrecito Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 It does highlight the financial difference between rugby and football, just how many top flight rugby players also have a business on the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, for someone with a business in fitness his availability stopped him from really establishing himself. If Sale sort that out they will have a very good player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul G Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 Uren is gone at the end of the season, off to Italy. Can't say I'm disappointed, he hasn't been playing well this season and that box kick against Saracens was a shocking decision which cost us 4 points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good signing, experienced Irish international and known to Pat from Connacht. Edited March 1, 2023 by Northern Red 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelRobartes Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 Really good signing. Always rated Marmion and think he should have more caps. Obviously not in Ireland contention now so a nice payday for him and a blow for Connacht. Remember him coming on in a tight test against Australia on the wing and tackling everything that moved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slacker Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 In work tonight. Very much looking forward to watching this tomorrow.

CyderInACan Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 Insane tonight. After a bit of a dodgy first ten minutes the rest of the game was crazy. 9 (NINE) tries for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 Majestic. The Basketball team won away at Newcastle too. Good start to the weekend. Now, come on City do the business. Amazing if both the rugby and football teams gatecrash the play-offs. Mindful the women are topping their league and the basketball team are second in theirs, could be a classic Bristol Sport year.

As Robbo says, Bristol could have won by even more. Yes, BT were keen to point out Saints were missing a few, but strangely no mention of Bears missing Sinkler and Genge. Two key players including captain. Beat Quins next weekend and top 4 is perfectly possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
