Force v Lions, 2017

where is Robbie Coleman?

I wasn't giving advice to anyone you w..ker, I was expressing an opinion and responding to your churlishness, which seems to be escalating. Now who needs to calm the farm?

As far as Heath Tessman goes - he was named as a co captain from the start of the season as you don't seem to realise and also was captain of the Spirit as you also don't seem to know. You seemed to have completely missed the point I said that we are fortunate to have other guys in the team who are also good leaders. And if you want to start abusing people on this forum you can check the rules before trolling here.

where is Robbie Coleman?

Eating all the pies judging by the last time I saw him!

I have yet to see the game,
so we are 2 points down and don't have much time on the clock.
Did anyone think of a drop goal?

[PJ43]

Didn't get a chance for a drop goal because we instead gave away a penalty in the last 2 minutes to relieve pressure and any chance for a drop goal, penalty or try.
This is what is frustrating Wessells like it is all of us.
We played 78 minutes of smart, tough rugby against the second best team in the comp (with half the team playing their first season of super rugby) only to be denied by some ill discipline to relieve the pressure at the end when it mattered most.
The guys are playing incredibly bravely.....even Brache was good at full back with a bit of space to run.
I am proud of the boys who gave it everything.
We now have some cavalry returning with some winnable games ahead.
Let's get behind the boys and finish the season well.
I still can't hear the fat lady singing!

They are frowned upon in Aus aren't they?!!

[zimeric]

so are long kicks into touch but Janjties seemed to enjoy carving out 50metres at a time

[jono]

Not by me!
If we nail one to get back in the lead or get beyond 7 points I'm fine with it.

Drop goals or fat ladies?

You do what it takes to win.
I wouldn't care if all the Force did was slot over drop goals or penalties from 50 meters out if it meant being higher on the ladder than the 'Tahs or the Reds

[Alison]

Drop goals! Always support my fellow fat ladies!

[Alison]

Oh I am all for anything that gets points and a win. I just remember when Jonny scored THAT droppie in 2003 hearing so many Aussies denigrating the use of the drop goal in rugby......!

What's Jannie de Beer up to these days?

[boof1050]

I thought Brache was solid as well until he led with his head into that tackle. He seemed to be taking some good options and his hands kept hold of the ball as well. was a bloody big head knock hope he recovers well. His parents might ask if it knocked some sense in him.(Tongue in Cheek for the sensitive patrons)
