We currently have one of the best scrummaging coaches in the world selecting Robertson, he be doing something right

Under Schmidt:
- Gordon 16 starts for 5 wins @ 31%
- White 8 starts for 4 wins @ 50%
- Tate 3 starts for 2 wins @ 67%
- non-Jake 11 starts for 6 wins @ 55%

Our overall win rate under Joe is about 41%, so Jake underperforming but then again Joe seems to revert to him for the 'big games', so losses more likely.
Anyone can make stats fit their narrative.

Where's the context of other players in this? Where's your analysis of any one of our forwards?

Mods - might be time to start a couple of threads in Everything Else - Jake Gordon is the devil, and so is Tane Edmed too!

Hopefully it won't overheat the servers and take the forum off line. Again.

I'm not the one who made the claim that Jake was in the teens from a success rate perspective. Was providing the facts.

Regardless of stats, Jake Gordon is not a good enough decision maker and communicator for him to run the game at 9. He can be a good player but not in this role. He's not Conor Murray

Seriously hoping Joe shakes up the selections. He was very clear on saying he would be rotating the squad.
Our 6th ranking is off the cards and our selections clearly haven't been working, time for changes.
Hoping to see Lonergan start with Thomas on the bench.
LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) needs to start, especially as we need to match the frogs physically.
Ross over Robertson.
hopefully both Tupou and AAA are available.
Carton Gordon needs to start.
Paisami to start at 12, Ikitau to 13. Either put JAS at FB or wing to change things up, Jorgo is better suited to the wing.
Think Wilson needs to come off the bench, Samu to start.

Suspect if Schmidt had his time again then Donaldson would have been selected for this tour.

But he had Edmed in the camp, wanted to see what CG can do on potential, and had JOC (James O'Connor) to sub in

That's feedback that is so generic as to be meaningless. Every 10 needs to work on their consistency, and every 10 needs to work on their physicality (contact area, my defence, my physicality, and then just the high ball)
