haven't checked if its been addressed, but to me, Link's comments to Cully re Cooper are ridiculous. he says criticism of cooper's defense is outrageous as cooper isn't hidden in defense, rather he's there for counter attacking purposes and thus people attacking his inability to defend have...

as he should. hs decisions in the last 15 minutes were terrible. see Rebels 2013 for my comments. Inman off JUST as he was making yards and finding holes in a tired defence, only to preserve ROBERTS' (a horrrrible player) place on the field, was at best, mind boggling. absolutely happy to see...

surely. see my post before. what was the Inman - off sub....he was JUST beginning to bust tackles and find holes and he comes off so Roberts can roam the backline.

Throughout the last 15 there was, to me at least, an inevitability that we would lose. The ref was poor in that period I thought there should've been a not releasing call against the kings. That aside - if Angus Roberts ever plays for us again - we are as doomed as we were the moment he came...

gotcha.

what force players would you invite? Mafi aside, I can't think of anyone really given that MMM is out for quite a few weeks and cummins has been out all year. Mafi and mitchell out though...surprising. I would think at least one of them will come in alongside Kepu or Ryan, Pyle or MMM and...

there's another 6 to join the squad. cummins wouldnt be there cause he hasn't played at all this year. MMM is injured for awhile so probably not worth bringing him in the only player from the force i would look at are Mafi and Godwin - perhaps one of their back three. but mafi aside, i am not...

Greg Clarke is on Twitter - i would suggest tweeting him and voicing displeasure. You can't do it to martin himself cause he's not on twitter (probably the only sports commentator these days who isn't).

Greg Martin is the absolute worst. he's a terrible commentator, completely biased and is prone to making absurd 'alarmist' statements about the game, players, deans etc. Eyeore, or Kearns, always sounds exasperated and as if he's struggling to get through. I like Kafer, i like Mcardle, and...

and the japanese league has been bad for George Smith's game.... it's a small part of the year until rebels pick up pre-season and on record their annual tour to the UK or elsewhere for games. reckon it would be max 8 weeks of play

i reckon kingi is best when he can rove around and hit the line at pace and throw his steps. he is good on the wing, but someone else pointed out here, his defensive frailties are less exposed at fullback where it's just one on one defense most of the time.

my last chime in on QC (Quade Cooper). you can't say its a game plan thing. he executed RD's game plan fine in previous years. then the RWC comes a long and he says the wrong things, the pressure picks up and his confidence gets shattered. he makes mistakes everywhere. then post world cup it continues - when...

not to mention i would be intrigued to know if the broader wallabies group trust him etc after his outbursts. sure it looks like he's mended fences with QLD players, but some of the things he said will not have gone down well, let's not forget that.

look at us - bickering like little school girls before and agreeing post after post now. the miracles of GAGR

a player who no longer exists!

totally forgot about taps! i would have him in, but i think deans will go with horne or mccabe, probably horne as at the moment mccabe is a long way off....and never thought i would say this but horne has looked good at 12! ya i would love JOC (James O'Connor) and Lilo at 10,12.....not sure it'll happen though.

I think part of the issue here is that you perceived my saying “To'omua, lilo and either QC (Quade Cooper) or JOC (James O'Connor)” as a ranking of preference. That was just a list of the contenders. I struggle with QC (Quade Cooper) and JOC (James O'Connor) being there based on QC (Quade Cooper)’s form/history and JOC (James O'Connor)’s lack of play there this year. From my personal...

If foley had a bit more experience, i would agree with you that his name should be up there. but it is a bit much to throw him in the lions den with so little super rugby experience. he played great though the last few weeks. Lilo and JOC (James O'Connor) - neither have played much there this year -both have...

it is a tough topic, because i think ultimately, like deans, quade is a deeply divisive figure in aussie rugby....and here we have essentially have a thread that deals with both of them...its dangerous!
