God, here I go again. My dad arrived today from Melbourne so we've had a few good NZ whites followed by a couple of Aussie reds.
Josh got told by JM before the team was named last week that he wasn't being named due to his missing a tackle that a price was paid for. As much as I want Josh to be in the 22 and play well enough to be in the 15 I think the team named for the game was fair. The result and the play by those that took the paddock that night must now be questioned. DHP, Bart and Cross (to a lesser degree) were not up to the standard of what we should expect in Super 14.
If Josh gets to play surrounded by solid players he will ride of fall on what he brings. At this time he is still not as fast as a S14 winger needs to be and he doesn't have the experience that we need in a 12 or 13. That may change, and if it does, good on him.
This is professional rugby and it sux when someone (you obviously favour) appears to be getting a raw deal, but that is the way it is, that is the path chosen. Try not to let emotive stuff blind you. That's what I told his very disappointed mum.
He'll get his shot, if he takes it, shit hot for everyone (except the family and friends of the guy who then doesn't get picked).
Jeez, that went on a bit, must be the Aussie red!
P.S. Anybody see the cricket last night?
fancy headbutting someone wearing a helmet
& he wasnt even Irish!
sorry TQ1
What a tosser. Aussie cricket wonder why they have an image problem. Probably shitty because he hasn't seen the pic of Lara yet.
Hard to argue with that!
I wasn't pickong on Josh, so much as pointing out my impressions of the way he has played....in answer to somebody implying the result would have been different with him on the park.....I don't think Josh would have made much difference on Saturday.
We just need to figure out where the problems are, because ATM everything we do to plug a leak, results in another leak.
Woody, you said Josh isn't fast enough for an S14 winger, well neither is Spanner, but he still gets the job done! Maybe wing is a place Josh could have a go!
C'mon the
Now in my moleskin trousers and my Williams boots
Aboard an outlaw as he leaves the chutes
In my goose neck spurs I rake their fiery hide
And the girls all shouting around the ringside
Oh he's the Fulla from Cunnamulla
Yeah he's the Cunnamulla Fulla
Never trust a donkey d1ck
