It is bullshit how much The Tahs a favoured by ARU topped ups to their players. Tuqiri, Rogers, Tahu, Folau - all topped up before playing one second of rugby.

There will be an embarrassment of riches on the wing if he does come back. JOC (James O'Connor), Badger, Speight, Tomane, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) More and more likely that AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) will fight it out with Kurindrani for 13.

I think we will see a hybrid game plan of tests one and two. Try to exert forward dominance. Kick for the corners when nothing is on but use the ball quickly when we have the back pedalling. Hopefully also some counter attack with an extra man back in kick returns (should be Foley most of the...

I didn't think he was great at all last week and in fact called for AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) to come into 13. Even last week there was a stark difference between the two when AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) ran in the 13 channel. Last week Kurindrani was our worst back. This week he had a few mates to keep him company. He needs to find...

The main issue I have with Whites game is that when he is asked to play a kicking game plan he goes over the top with it. Even good ball near halfway gets kicked. Everything gets slowed down. Plenty are blaming the forwards for not providing fast ball, but I saw a lot of instances where White...

Chip on the shoulder? No - you missed the point. Genia's best game is at a much higher level than Whites so when he has an average game he is more harshly criticised. You must agree that it was just a little crazy that White got MOM on 10 and also by a few on this site! Actually you probably...

Lucky Frisby sat out the GPS game then!

Thats the thing. The only bloke I saw running a good line was AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) after he was moved to 13. Maybe Cummins did it once as well.

PS AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) has completely and utterly outperformed him at super level this year.

Size only matters if you are as good in other areas as the next option. Now that AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) is passing, he beats Kurindrani in many areas: - overall defence - hands/ball security - running lines and ability to make a break Only maybe down on: - dominant defense - crash ball

If Genia had a game like that - slow to get the ball out and kicking it away too much - the reaction on this forum would be different. Funny how different players are held to different standards!

Yeah sure. Next you will say Foley was replaced because he was fatiguing! I hope you didn't keep a straight face when you compare forward and back substitutions.

Under pressure both have gone back to conservative brumby style. White has been very poor in his decision making. He should be hooked if he keeps that up.

Did you actually watch what happened. That was more his lifters fault - he was pushed into the French player and certainly didn't grab him.

Oops should have read the rest of thread first.

Surely the answer is to use Will as a lifter and someone like Hooper or McCalman can start receiving more lineouts!

All well, except that he picked Ryan in the first place and hoped to fix his technical issues in a week.

I heard that the wallaby after match function was cancelled and that the player's families had to drive down to Sanctuary Cove after the game if the wanted to see them (including Sam Carter's family who had come interstate for the game). Anyone know the reason why it was cancelled.

Maybe he can go for longer - I don't know but would like to see him in gold sooner than later. Problem with having him on the bench is an early injury means he might have to go 75+. If he starts you can control his time better.

Planning for the worst case is the 'I don't want to lose attitude' not 'I want to be the best attitude'. You have to cover reasonable outcomes but no coach ever put a game plan and team together for the worst case. If Horwill starts and is injured, then jones comes on and is injured - what is...
