:lol: :lol: Her indoors told me this morning that she doesn't want to have to listen to me and look at my girney oul bake on home match dates as well as away games, so if I don't renew it she will. Whether that means she's going to go to the games or send me remains to be seen. I suspect the latter as one week of Grumpy's inane drivel and she'll not be back.
i wouldn't trust Grumpy, if he turns on his legendary wit and repartee might cause problems :lol:

Negative...Iain Henderson's tackling technique, anyone else wishing he would just empty someone rather than that passive hold them up off the ground, it would lift the players and supporters alike, though maybe he's following the legendary defence coach's masterplan

Did Hendy fire a shot last night? If he did I missed it. All I saw him do was take ball static and make zero yards.

Is it true it was his stag last weekend? Would it have been allowed at another province?

maybe he thought he should have it now rather than end of season as he's a bolter for the Lions....and in case some are in doubt that was......

In the midst of all the cow pats last night. Treaders continues to grow in my estimation. Only 21 and fast becoming our best second row.

Hendo can't carry. He wouldn't even make Munster's bench.
I have my own tv channel, what have you got?

True, he definately has all the physical atrributes to be a quality player. Now if only he could work with a decent forwards coach.Image

think it was Matthew Morgan in the 2nd half who tried to get outside of him only to find out that Treaders has some set off wheels and was quickly brought to ground....definitely a shining light in yet another bleak season

Hendo looks wrung-out, jaded and disinterested and seems to have lost his old vim. Don't know why. For a bloke with all that natural talent and strength he has been disappointing. I thought he had a good game for Ireland v England, but it was a bit of a one-off.

It's getting near the end of the season. Maybe he's just Donald Ducked!

Reidy has probably clocked up twice as many minutes or at least seems to have done and he was the best forward yet again last night
