Disagree.
We may have been 30 in front if he'd started. He's a wallaby. Play him
He's a better player than Tatapu so why should Tatapu be picked ahead of him?
He won't get better sitting on the bench. Every time he got the ball he looked like he'd cut a swathe through them. The game speeds up when he gets it. Tatapu was slow, and he made a great crash test dummy as he got smashed.
Ask the kid if he thinks he's up to it? he doesn't want to be put in cotton wool.
How about some running rugby from the attack coach?
they didnt play that well and they would have been thrashed if the blues kicker didnt screw up every kick. They had one bad game though and everyone finds every bad thing that happened in the game and starts blaming all the players and coaches.
If this happens 3 weeks in a row then they should worry but i wouldn't be suprised if they come back next week and thrash the cheetahs, then everyone will be saying how good they are again.
And also haig sare was accually pretty good yesterday and made heaps of ground every time he got the ball. You cant blame the wingers for letting trys in when they both had to stop about 3 overlaps each because so many forwards got sucked into the breakdowns after turnovers. If you give the blues that much territory+ possetion in the 22 they are always going to score in the corner.
If the season went longer I wouldn't be worried. But you need the points from a home victory and 5 is better than 4 in this comp. Every losing team has gotten a bonus point so far as well so were no better off.
Next week I'd rather be sitting on 10 points rather than a possible 6, 5, 2 or worse 1 still.
These losing home games cost us each year that's what I'm pissed about.
Wallaby!
one test against Italy was it, & another psuedo "test" against the BaaBaa's
just to make him ineligible to represent any other country
At this stage he is more effective as a impact player coming off the bench
I agree with your mate Mitch on this,after all, this is the way he wants to utilise him for the time being
They looked to me like a team that is overthinking things and not feeling enough passion. Where was the pride & passion?
I might be wrong but I can't remember a single time over the last couple of years when a Force player looked like he was about to flatten an opposition player (seem to save this for team mates). They just seem to me to be a little too much in control of themselves and not enough mongrel.
The Tahs played Beale a year too soon
he was meant to be good enough
They didn't have anybody else either. It didn't do him any harm.........the 50 million beers he had affected him more
How about some running rugby from the attack coach?
The entire team was bad. Drew had 4 tackles on his wing that I noticed, he bonecruched two of them, got a hand in and had Brown (I think) clean up the remains and slipped one up. It wasn't an exceptional performance, granted, but he wasn't shithouse.
JOC should have come on earlier, at the very least. I think he needs to begin starting games purely because if he doesn't get the game time he wants here, there are 3 other Australian teams who would jump at the chance to have this guy running out for them, and he'll look elsewhere if he doesn't get what he wants. He is good. Very strong. If we don't start him atleast we should play him more. He started in 3 games last season, consecutively, after his debut. He was strong enough then, what's changed now?
A kick in this game is like a rather nasty alcoholic shooter, only as good as it's chaser...

boys i know this is a long ago argument but i am watching the welsh test and sheridan is still collapsing on his side, i think his height work against him.
tall loose heads hate low scrum.
i contend that baxter is not the only one who makes this bloke look like a lemon.
The sooner Mitch is back in charge the better!
In the after match interview Mitch was saying how well the boys had played. What a load of BS!
Bring back the old Mitch who calls a spade a spade.
Play the guys that deserve to play. Any more displays like Fridays and there will be no one at Subi.
Can anyone name the members of the match committee...???
