Va’alu,
Lote Tuqiri and
Clyde Rathbone
all ended up on 14 points.
Jeez I liked the look of Higginbotham on the weekend. Where’s this guy been? Hope it continues!
Higgs plays for Wests in the Brisbane club comp (as does Madness and Tasi Laufutu) and was part of the Aust 7’s team for a few years. Has been with the Reds academy for a few years also and was only this year upgraded to a full contract.
I’ve seen a fair bit of him over the years and can honestly say I’ve never seen a performance like it. He generally doesn’t roll the sleves up so it will be interesting to see if this was a one off or the start of something beautiful.
Lets say at Wests, he, umm, plays a different style due to coaching strategy. H ehas also bulked up a bit more this year from about 104/105 he was at the start of last year to 112 now.
i have to say i’m a little weary of him. i hope he can keep it up, but i wonder if he’s really the goods. a backrower that has 6 tackles and 4 missed tackles in two full games? sounds more like a scrummie…
I’ve never seen a scrum half get two line breaks in one game.
Unless you consider matt giteau a scrum half.
Bobas’s last blog post..Nil All, Good For Qualifying, Bad for Spectators.
it kills me to give credit to a saffa, but kockott has 4 so far this season =)
i’ll stop being an arse to agree with you that he does have promising ball in hand potential. i was more pointing out the lack of defensive activity, which is the worry for me.
Ricky Januarie in last year’s Dunedin test?
Did someone get sacked at the SMH??
Hilarious. I wonder whose vote it is that always wins!!!
the smh did better than they did last week.
SMH, only 2 Tahs. Wow. No Surprise that one of them is Palu (i still maintain SMH reports are why he is the Wallaby 8 ahead of Hoiles or Brown),
But Caldwell (thats from nowhere)
and Baxter….Fusing it up…
Do they get paid with monopoly money at the SMH?
Harsh on Palu I reckon Dommo. May not have the distribution skills of those two, but consistently makes the hardest and mostest yards, which for me a key No 8 ability.
On the end of year tour Brown got caught wanting in that department on a few occassions.
Agreed I am not Waratah crazy but for mine Palu is our best No 8. Maybe once we have a firing Horwill/Mumm we will get more out out of a Hoiles/Brown but for now we need Palu.
Agreed Dommo, Palu is a one-trick pony.
Funny thing is, he has found his niche with the Tahs who only have one trick themselves.
