I’d say your post actually supports everything about the way that Barrett was used in his debut. I just fail to see the negativity. He had a great 20 minute run against one of the most inform and experienced props. The other Tahs props were demolished again last night and we have a big...

Mate just try to use some facts. You’ve had nothing to say about the demolition of the scrum in the second half. You’ve not produced a single stat that would support your point. Just an emotional statement with not a scratch of facts to support it. Pretty simple really, make a point and support...

There isn’t another young prop even close to him in shute shield. The Tahs have to look to the future. He is the future and it was a great opportunity to give him some game time. Of course he has some growing to do but the young bloke did a fantastic job against one of the most experienced and...

And what of the other 4 props that were bashed and pushed around? Is that the future for the Tahs? Guys that were pushed all over the park? It was embarrassing. I didn’t see any of that in his first 20 minutes on debut. You express your opinion without the facts from the game. Again tell me how...

He was never hooked early, it was obviously the plan. You guys must have watched a different game to me. They shared the penalties why he was on and lost nothing on the scrum feed. He carried the ball up strong 4 times and was strong in defence. The other props were humiliated later in the...

Given the late changes to 3 instrumental players the Tahs had a lot of positives. Some of you shit panning Barrett’s selection - the young man played and held his own against a 32 year old prop who has been amongst the best in the whole competition. Some here saying he wasn’t even the best prop...

I am talking about the last 4 weeks, 2 years. Relook at it tomorrow and tell me if it gained field position

And could someone please stop NSW from kicking. This is one of the ugliest looking and unskilled Waratahs teams in their professional history.

Could anything demonstrate the sad fall from grace for rugby than the crowd tonight? Interstate and first round and it’s near empty. Please don’t give me the weather excuse.

I didn’t see them have to move scrums due to a loss of traction. I didn’t see players slipping over. What I did see was one team devoid of both attacking and defensive strength, a failed opportunity to blood all your reserves and a coach whose days are numbered.

A good trial for the Reds. Both teams played on the same field. The Waratahs were woeful. 29-zip at halftime would say the field was fine.

Ok it’s a trial game as a get out for you all. NSW put their best team on the paddock and it was 29-0 at half time. If you guys think some mental shift is going to miraculously turn that around in two weeks, I’d love some of what you’re smoking.

Sounds wonderful but the practical application is not there. Bell is nowhere near World XV and to think so is fanciful and a big part of the problem we have with over rating talent. No Australians, not even the Fijian Flyer are in anyone’s World XV. Bell most certainly isn’t even in the top 3...

There is no other way to put it, but the Waratahs looked woeful, clunky and void of any attack. Coleman already looks like he is coaching to save his career. Edmed is not a super rugby standard number 10 and the fact they’ve persisted with him into this year is going to prove costly. How many...

We play Fiji first and the Irish 4 days later. Hopefully the English do us a favour and give them a bit of a bashing. The Irish & French are easily the top two teams from the North so probably good for us we get the Irish after they play England. Our guys have a warmup here against an...

Yeah I would agree with all those points. Hopefully Craig does as he plays a very good modern hookers game. I’d say there would be couple of young All Blacks props who got a whole new view of the world after getting folded like they did today. I watched Barrett in 3 games last year for Joeys and...

Gee the forwards would be bloody disappointed with their backline today. Aus should have won that game in a canter. Again young Barrett tore their scrum apart. The improvement in his game in the last 6 months has been impressive for a young bloke 6 months out of school. Barrett, Craig & De...

Well that does sound like something they would say, I thought our number 1 absolutely tore them apart. I watched some of his games in the Sydney GPS over the last few years and was hoping his development would continue post-schoolboy rugby. There is some genuine class amongst this team. It...

Joeys XV awards Best Forward : J Barrett Best Back : M Jorgensen Players player : R Leahy I’d give the Barrett & Jorgensen the same awards across the GPS. I’ll be watching with great interest how their respective careers develop post school. Those two were the difference between a shared...
