Great stuff andrewg - I do analysis as well, and know what a mountain of work this is. Much appreciated!
Not great, but a better performance - a step in the right direction, and exactly the game they needed to get things rolling.
They seemed to get the balance right - going forward before going...
It's time to cut the losses with Sias. He's adding ZERO to the team. While there's much to criticize about the team overall, there's nothing worse than someone aimlessly kicking the ball away at...
It was the AR who asked him to go to the TMO, not the crying Sharks. The ref didn't screw us. The TMO certainly did, but not the ref.
I agree. I actually didn't think that Briant was all that bad. You can see that he was somewhat stunned and at a loss when the TMO said it was inconclusive. It was like he was prepared to give it and...
Totally agree on both accounts. Sias is in the game for his kicking - that's all he really brings to the table. And he's not doing that well, so he needs to go. Holmes is a better attacking 10, but...
I think it's a combo of the center pairing finding their feet, and the wingers not looking for work. The one (I think it was the only) time Marcel came infield, he made a great break.
At a time...
I couldn't agree more. Not adding anything to the team at any point this season.
Full credit for the bomb of a penalty, but not much beyond that. The only thing he brings to the table is his...

Holmes' kicking out of hand has been better than Ebersohn lately. I too always thought he was short on distance, but he's been making some meters lately.
To be honest, Ebersohn only knows one...
Testify, brother!
Great post. The Tahs are the best Super Rugby team money can buy.
As you said, some teams are more equal than others - quite a joke, but not really funny...
I'd be able to live with the spoiler if I heard a roar from the Sea of Blue!
I have to go on a media blackout until I can watch it recorded on Saturday night - going camping with the family. Seemed like a safe bet to book the camping dates months ago. Me of little faith!
I pray they don't spend a dime on Davies. Soft.
So, is this accurate? Alcock is returning as well? I thought he was done for the season.
It would be a godsend if he was back - backrow stocks are getting a bit thin, as evidenced by Hodson...
Whoa! I thought he was done for the year. That's an unexpected surprise. How about Alcock? Is he done for the year? I would love to see Hodgo get a bit of a respite occasionally (although, the...
Indeed. I've always found the rugby fraternity - professional or amateur - to be the most welcoming people around the world.
So, to start with a little background - I lived in Perth and worked for the WARU (before RugbyWA) way back in the early 90's.
These days I work for a 7s Development Academy in the US, and when...
I'd go with Brock James...and Will Genia. :sarcastic:
I'm not sure Graham will be around to recruit him! However, his successor might. I, too, am concerned.
I'd venture to say that Holmes had a better showing than Sias against the Rebels. Don't know what was going on, but other than his goalkicking, he was having a borderline shocker. He just looked...
Does anyone know what the backrow stocks look like in the Academy or extended training squad? At this point, I believe Stander is the only backrow coverage they're carrying, and the way Hodgo is...
He looked SHATTERED in that post-match presser! I don't know how can can continue to go 80 week in week out at that pace and intensity.
