How many chances do we give players? Maddocks had 5 years and didn't really improve at all

Greg Maddux?

It’s not just goal kicking, it’s all skills Our players don’t seem to be showing the same dedication to their crafts as others nations players are. Tate McDermott kicked a box kick backwards ffs, that is simply unacceptable

Is it scary?

If I was underperforming at my job, of course I would

Honestly, I wonder if they are spending extra time on the rugby field full stop

I get what your saying, but I would hope professional rugby players wouldn't have that attitude These guys should be doing everything they can to become better players at every facet, that's what being a professional sportsperson is all about If they are deciding they don't have to bother to...

This is correct. There really needs to be some ownership from the players themselves

He's reportedly on over $500,000 this coming year The NRL doesn't really pay wingers, that's why every winger wants to be a fullback

Yeah that's nothing, but the Patston issue wasn't a good look for him at all

Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) is a good young talent, but if he wants to go I don't think its as big a doomsday as is being portrayed. Wingers aren't exactly the most pressing issue with our squad right now And I don't think we should be worried about pissing players off, as firstly this isn't meant to be a...

Never make what? He was already a Wallaby by this point Surely there are still things a guy in his early 20's can improve on

Leicester Tigers might be secretly hoping we take McKellar off their hands with yet another loss for them on the weekend

Eddie failed this time as Wallabies coach, but this isn’t true. He came 2nd in 2019 6 Nations and got to the World Cup final, and then won the 2020 6 nations. They stagnated in 2021 and 2022 but no where near as badly as the wallabies did over the same period Ignoring all the success he’s had...

Probably. In his podcast with Angus Bell months ago he sounded like he wanted to play league l

He was hardly poached. He went over there because none of our talent evaluators though he was worth it to develop

The other unknown was why did Wisemantel quit in the first place?

Can’t let facts get in the way of a good story

It's not a fascination, it's a great help to the team if the 10 can kick goals so you don't have to shoehorn in a goal kicker and push a potentially better player out of the team, exactly what happened during the World Cup

It certainly has a place in the game, and it’s our poor execution of both the box kick and the chase that make it look so bad. there really isn’t a valid excuse why some of our players core skills haven’t improved. A guy like Tate has so much ability it’s frustrating that he has stagnated so...
