But Gerry, if the tables don't represent the whole game, they are meaningless for performance assessment purposes.
Even if some are up to date and others aren't, they are not an indication of overall performance. A player who lets (say) five tries through is pathetic, even if he successfully makes three sixty metre runs.
I only put it up. Not make it up
D'ems Weasel Words Gerry, but I'll let you off with a stern reprimand this time.
there's the spirit- make every shot countI missed him.....
..... but I'll reload and take another shot.
Bloody hell...I'm about 3 people down to the right of this picture. Damn you Fox Sports
Kearns had decided that Smith was smashing Pocock all over the field before the game started, the other commentators were having to try and restore balance to his one eyed view. Poor effort.
A ball popped out of a ruck into his hands and suddenly Smith was on fire or some such.
"Bloody oath we did!"
Nathan Sharpe, Legend.
I recall that one....Smith was off his feet, on the wrong side & playing the ball with his hands....Mr Muppet Ref said it was ok!!!
CHEERLEADERS ROCK!!!
Was waiting to be told how much better Smith is at drinking his powerade than Pocock, by the end.
dont worry we never even made it to our seats, we were mixing it up with dave and his fellow brumbies supporters, we got there early enough to snare their good vantage point!!...
Go the Force. One man does not make a TEAM!
I’m having trouble getting through on TWF from both home and office (It’s a mystery Coach) so I hope you all get this post? I can’t read any threads past page 1, even if I’m lucky enough to get logged on. So I can’t see if it has been posted or not…. So here goes Anyway…as I wouldn’t like you guys to miss mudskippers observations as we have become so close…
Firstly a big Congratulations to the Force, for their win mighty over the Brumbies on Saturday night at Canberra Stadium. It’s only the second time the Brumbies have been defeated at home against an Australian province since 1996 so Force fans should savor the historical win…
While the Brumbies dominated the forward play their backline failed to fire up. It appeared to me that the Brumbies young flyhalf Lealiifano stifled when confronted by the worlds best flyhalf Matt Giteau the guy who he’ll loose his spot to next year. Lealiifano will have to work hard to regain his confidence and Coach Friends in him before the next outing. In today’s Times Larkham has kindly supported Lealiifano and is prepared to help out at training when possible now he is back from Japan. Apparently he was at the match Saturday night, likely on the sideline, so poor Lealiifano was playing Australia’s current flyhalf star Matt Giteau with the former Brumbies/Wallabies super star flyhalf looking on, no wonder the kid was a little nervous. That’s worst than Matt Bourke standing behind Kurtley Beale every time he kicked for goal the other week…But no excuses you’re either up to the task or not and that’s all that matters once the match is over. Additionally Lealiifano has added pressure from the talented young QLDer flyhalf Matt Toomua who is eagerly waiting for a shot at 10…
Cameron Shepherd the rugby player/journalist played one he his best games in years however on the wing. May I say perhaps mudskipper helped motivate him by talking down his Wallabies futures? As he is a slave to the media he likely read my impetuous opinion of his week one game at TWF... Good I say if that was the result… Rockets help motivate & re-launch people sometimes…and its kinder I do it as an outsider than leave it to the local TWF crew… I can’t help but think as most of his 3 tries were from an over lap, Drew Mitchell could have bagged them easily if he had not played at fullback… Such is Providence what can you say it was Shepherds night and I welcome and will applaud more of the same in the future… So don’t stop now Shep…
The force loosies were all good, but George Smith was still dominate at the breakdown and is still king. Some moments of brilliance by Giteau crafted a few excellent tries by the force. His kicking in play was outstanding… Its just makes the wait longer to see him back at the Brumbies next year…What a team that will be…
The Force set piece is still very weak and needs work, especially the scrum giving up a penalty try after being smash packing down 3 consecutive times is embarrassing…soft…. It’s rare to see a match lost by the team which dominates the set piece but that’s what happened Saturday night. The Force defense was good which will be needed as their tour continues through New Zealand meeting the Chiefs and the Crusaders….
So who would have thought after 3 weeks and 2 very average games from the Force have popped up to the top 4 on 10 points and the TWF turtles coming out after the win ….. Applause here….. stop it!…. Get a hold of yourselves its only week 3…..
Perhaps they’ll show this season their more than a mid table team at best as we have seen in past years…. Anyway enjoy the high of the win this week Force fans next week the Chiefs who are angry and hungry and still without a win playing at home with Donald a good savvy flyhalf who will organise his attack a little better than Lealiifano.… I’ll be watching and supporting the Force on that one…
Mean while the Brumbies have an early bye week so I guess they will withdraw back into the Griffith bat cave and work out how the hell they lost that match because next is the Waratahs at Canberra Stadium and should be a cracker….
Additionally I think someone needed to drug test Sharpie after the match as his eyes were a little crazy... cheers mudskipper enjoy you're week in the sun...

Sometimes you astound me Muddie with what appears to be some words of wisdom...
