Alex Codling, the coach of Newcastle Falcons, expressed concern about the team's size and experience, indicating a need for decisions at the club's top level. Despite hoping to move the ball into space, the weather has been a challenge for the team. Codling's dedication was highlighted, with concerns raised about the club's ability to progress. Leicester's victory in adverse weather prompted support for Codling and his team, who are facing financial challenges and tough opponents weekly. Gloucester's CEO emphasized the commitment of players and coaches, but doubts persist about the club's current setup.

“I respect the club massively, they’ve had to make tough decisions around finances but, ultimately, it becomes really tough when every week you’re coming up against fully stacked teams,” @FalconsRugby Alex Codling
🍒 Key line from the open letter from Gloucester’s CEO. Brown emphasises the commitment players and coaches have for Gloucester. However, we’re not sure its dedication that Gloucester fans are questioning. It’s more whether the current set up can take the club forward. https://t.co/s7KqPsamBo
Brutally honest interview from Alex Codling. “We don’t have the size or the experience, you can’t dress it up any other way.” #GallagherPrem https://t.co/1Z993h1EUl
🦅 Alex Codling doesn't hold back after Newcastle Falcons' loss. #LEIvNEW https://t.co/WR36RnKMMu
While Leicester did the business in the rain, my thoughts are with Alex Codling & his Newcastle team tonight. He’s working 100 hours a week & hasn’t seen his family for four months. He deserves all the support he can get. All I want is for the Falcons to be with us next season. https://t.co/2QODARyYIx
"The club has a decision to make about where it wants to go." "We don't have the size and the experience." Alex Codling very despondent. It sounds like Newcastle Falcons are at a crossroads right now. Codling very vocal about decisions needed at the top of the club.
Interesting from Alex Codling there saying he hopes Newcastle can move the ball into space but the weather has been against them. Surprising as had Codling down as a more forwards orientated game plan as a former lock and forwards coach. Let's see how Falcons evolve...
