I think probably in this context it would be too woke?

I actually went to the Macquarie dictionary first...

That's a new ism

Yeah he's overseen some back-lines with pretty good talent that have never, ever clicked for more than parts of a game.

I suppose not. But I think my broad point remains.

Yeah fair point. Guess we'll see as that team continues to age.

Seems pretty simple to me. Pick our best players or continue to be 9-10 in the world. Getting philosophical about 'who to build a team around' etc seems pretty redundant if we are restricted to a talent pool worse than Italy's.

IMO gunna have to start learning how to build a team from disparately located players like the Saffas. Writing has been on the wall for years.

Uru was great for the Reds - I'd have him in the squad at least. Probably be Hooper as next 6 off the rank no?

More of an indictment on the rest of them than Skelton IMO.

I don't know that VAR is implemented badly necessarily. It's more that its far more jarring with the inherent flowing nature of football. Football has very little stoppage time and is generally not overly precise with things like where a freekick should be taken from or where a ball needs to be...

It took Swinton about a season to recover from nerve damage to his shoulder - though I think it's the kind of injury that can vary in severity a lot. See also poor old Rob Horne.

This kind of thing seems to happen to the Tahs a lot. I feel like our backrow stocks were absolutely loaded only a season or two ago and now they are pretty bare.

I doubt O'Connor is stopping the Reds from signing Gordon at this stage.

Nah you just gotta grow a thicker skin and drop arguments once its clear its going nowhere. I say ridiculous shit all the time and people mostly tolerate me.

He had no significant off field issues in his second stint with the Tahs did he? but he looked fairly ordinary.

Man every post match thread gets absolutely derailed...

They receive WR (World Rugby) funding right? Wonder how keen WR (World Rugby) are on funding an NZ super side. That said - they are kind of a joke at the moment so something needs to give.

I think across all sports we've learnt that fans aren't willing to endure errors to ensure a better flowing game. The irony, of course, being that its debatable video review results in less errors.
