He looked shocked at what he'd done right after. I feel a little bit sorry for him actually.

The Saints fans seem to have lost patience with him. They say he's lost interest at Franklin's Gardens since he got the Engerland captaincy. Most of them would be happy if he didn't start for the rest of the season.Dave wrote:Just viewed the incident. The look on Eddie Jones face is priceless. Why was he not starting?

Yes, that may be the case. I'd be more interested in knowing Jim Mallinder's expectancy at Saints right now - a man no doubt very relieved by Pat Lam going to Bristol. My sources tell me that Mallinder probably won't get away with sacking an underling this time (cf Paul Grayson) and it may be that Hartley thinks he'll be at Franklins Gardens longer than Mallinder !Snipe Watson wrote:I'm told the relationship between Hartley and Jim Mallinder is beyond repair.

You could only feel for Mallinder when he was interviewed after the game, we all know what he was thinking, but how can he hang the current English captain in front to the Not the Heiny audience. Mallinder is in a funny position, I have to say I quite like Saints as a club in much the same way as Tigers, proper rugby clubs, But Hartley & to a lesser extent Lawes are two guys he has not managed to tame, not to mention Callum Clarke's thuggery, so the doubt remains, how much does he want to take that out of their game? Is he prepared to live with it, to have them right on the edge?Snipe Watson wrote:I'm told the relationship between Hartley and Jim Mallinder is beyond repair.
