Earlier today we heard the Saracens owner had words with their coach McTague about his lack of press conferences lately … this resulted in the coach calling a press conference this afternoon, no doubt happy he wasn’t in Fase’s shoes!
When asked why he had maintained his press silence over the last couple of weeks he had this to say …
“to an some extent I was very disappointed with the Stad game, which should have been ours, that TMO decision being a particularly low point for the team and me, that following the first games accusations of thuggery... it seems that most coaches can only pump them selves up by 'bullyin' the managers of the teams that just aren’t performing on the night.... we have spent the off weeks reflecting on lessons learnt and taking into account press reactions, and went out the other night against Sale with a much more positive attitude, despite other managers feelings we played a good, hard clean game and left with nothing in the bank, yet again.”
When asked why his team seemed so lack lustre in the Sale match he responded …
“Sale came out and scored from the off, followed by a try, by half time we had drawn back to within 3, the second half was just there game, you can only score if you get the ball, we managed to get the ball once, and scored, unfortunately they had already got the ball twice by then.”
Penney has been having Anger Management counselling for some borderline play in the first 2 games, but now I think it is time we swap his councillor for a boxing ring and then just let him do his thing, the refs seem to like what he does and it does generate more chances for us to exploit, IF he had taken the 2 try scorers in the second half instead of holding back and effectively signalling his tackle that score line would reflect what happened out there much more.”
So not a lot but considering the furore caused by Mr Fase I am sure not many people higher up in the rugby world will mind!
