Another ARU axing .. They just could not allow the Spirit into the finals so lets send gardinar to Perth
Best on ground for the Rays, # 16 Angus Gardner. This business by Cheika of taking Meakes and Rona every second game for Wallabies duties even though neither have played for the Wallabies in the last 4 or 5 matches is killing our combinations.
It was all "for the good of Aussie rugby" we can't have those upstarts from Perth winning again.
I yearn for the day when the ARU no longer feel the need to shit on us.
Gardiner was atrocious. Despite that we got owned at the set piece once the bench came on and our boys handling was as bad as Gardiners officiating. Penalty count 13-3. 4 conceded before the YC - all different offenses.
I thought we had two offsides in there, Shasta?
Possibly. Can't be arsed checking again - they don't have compiled stats up yet. From memory; Not releasing - not releasing tackled player, going off feet(?), offside.
Stitch-up
We cant keep blaming the ref for our failure to win that game. Yes he made calls for the Rays that he did not for us, but we simply did not do enough to win that game. We are such a different team without Meakes and Rona without disrespecting Brache and Verity-Amm.
Maybe they have lost heart. I'm sure many of them must be distracted by what is going on and with the NRC coming to an end soon they will have to start making decisions about their futures
We could turn our attention to Cheika then, Meakes and Rona haven't even been selected as reserves for the Wallabies, but have only been made available once or twice.
They weren't good enough for Rugby when they chose to take their career other places, now that the Force has given them an opportunity with a bit of maturity and development under their belts, they're suddenly essential tackle bags.
Be interesting to see if Billy gets a Wallaby gig if he signs for the Tahs next season....
That’s just silly Alison if he signs for the Waratahs he will be back up hooker for the Wallabies. Actually came to think about it he plays a very similar game to a certain captain who gets less turn overs a game then what billy does.
Jokes Billy I personally think you are a great player who plays the game hard and fast.
Fair comment (as they were not even used) but we still had lots of very good players on the field and could not win a hoe game against the second worst team in the competition. As Perth Girl mentioned their minds might be elsewhere and not fully focused with the job at hand. Some scrum work is a must for the ones that came on and got absolutely tailed up.....
