George Gregan could have taught him this!
It is quite striking that, when the starting #9 is replaced, the speed of delivery from scrum base to inside back seems to be faster. If you troll through early posts you will find complaints about Henjak's slow delivery in comparison to O'Young's when he came on for the last 10-15.
There were similar thoughts/complaints about Gregan when playing for the. I think it might be just the perception, or maybe the 20 comes on and needs to show that he should be 9.
nah, he took him out on purpose, happened right in front of us. silly thing to do really.
Well just watched the game on my flight to work, after watching it at the ground.
WAY WAY too much kicking. I see everyones thoughts about the kicking. Too much! and for woody to say that it needs ot be done more and at the start of the phase play?? Crazy! why give the ball to the opposition when our broken play defense is rubbish.
pocock is a legend. WOW!
and of course hodgo.
im not sure how pocock didn't get MOM btw, he absolutely ruled at the breakdown, and only got penalised when he was in the right to pilfer.
Longbottom, standout game, he was everywhere and very athletic.
Cheese also plays well, quite quick and gets around the field great. needs to shut up a little bit more.
sheehan's passes were a little too high, i'd much prefer to see stannard in at 9, and harvey or seymore in at 10 at the moment. then shets on the bench
Lynn is a solid pickup
Alfie and Topou both let in tries with bad drift defence.
Cummins also let in two with being beaten on the outside, his job is to be able to cover one player, and also able to get the guys that are on the outside of him.
It was nice to see some runs at angles with decoy that lead to tries! amazing!
well, lets smash the reds!
reds are vulnerable more than any other time in last two years
now's the chance boys, make it count
couple less mistakes, more effective 1st up tackling, limit kicking, more passing and running
easy isn't it everyone, yeah right...
I would've said last week they were at their most vulnerable. Teams get pissed off when they lose by 50 points. Not something you typically see two weeks in a row.
Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.
I'm of the same mind James. They are going to come
Out swinging

anyone else think Cottrell got subbed too early last week? Brown did ok but Cottrell was dominating and should have played 50-60 not 40. There was one play where he hammered the fullback and pilfered the ball which was pocockesque. Knowing Graham he will bring Brown back into the starting side, chuck McCalman on the bench and dump Cottrell. Speaking of, when is McCalman back? We have so many quality forwards and no backs!
Just read this in the West: (http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/spo...g-line-horwill)
The Force, beaten 30-29 by Melbourne Rebels last week, were dealt a further blow on the injury front when scrumhalf Justin Turner was ruled out for up to eight weeks with a knee injury.
Fijian winger Napolioni Nalaga (ankle) is expected to miss his third match on the trot, but flanker Ben McCalman (shoulder), utility back Pat Dellit (leg) and full-back Cameron Shepherd (leg) will try to prove their fitness at training this week.
I'm sorry to say this but I think JT's a bit of a dud too - injury-wise that is.![]()
In order to try and keep as many back-rowers on the field as possible, how about playing Hodgo at 12? He's a good ball carrier, excellent in defense and offers Robbie Deans an upgrade over McCabe!![]()
