Of course not! I’m just a mug on a forum. It was in jest and That’s why I put the somewhat. I just think Robertson might not be a good fit for us. I think we signed Deans all those years ago thinking he was a master coach. He obviously has an astute rugby mind, motivational skills, et al, but it...

I reckon I could coach a somewhat successful Crusaders team with all their structures and depth and do alright. And I know nothing

I agree. Looks better.

Yep, you make your own luck sometimes

Then going the skinny blind from the scrum with a 2 man overlap on the open side. Halfback telegraphed it too

don’t think ill discipline is an injury. Unless you or some of the other posters on here get their hands on him.

That’s the one piece of “fuckery” that Derpus missed in his post

You’d imagine if they’re not there, it might be too hard. That is unless the Reds still touring Japan.

FF (Folau Fainga'a)

Is he over there? Otherwise, Hodge or Ikitau at 12, JP at 13?

Came off with calf or knee issue. also think we are in a holding pattern of being the “indisciplined team”, much as we were “the team that can’t scrum” in the past. There’s truth to it, but refs look more for it from us than from the opposition.

At least Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) put the Mack Hansen talk to bed. I know who I’d prefer in my team.

HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes)?

Didn't Gibson totally stuff up his team management in a rwc year and have to rest all his Wallabies (well Kepu, at least) for crucial games?

Then someone like Mack Mason or David Horowitz, who weren't dominant at club level were left to watch Foley from the Tahs bench for years. I’m not saying they would or wouldn’t have been anything, but the Super Rugby set up is designed to push players who aren’t starters overseas.

Another thing we suffered with was their out the back, bodies in motion attack. We just weren’t reading and adapting to it and it kept creating overlaps and mismatches in defence.

I’m not getting involved in if Noah is the right player or not for the 10 job. But the selectors did him a huge disservice by not dropping him down to Australia A to give him game time whilst they were playing Foley. He might’ve played 12 in U20s, but he’s only really considered a 10 at present...

It sucks for him, but he should get past it. It was nice that Tomaso Allen was amongst the wallabies consoling him straight after.

Seen him play 15s at Randwick when the world 7s was on break due to Covid. He played a bit of half, but looked more comfortable at 15, where he could chose his moments. But that was probably more that he’s a 7s player with a league background than someone who grew up understanding the tactics...

The Skelton lineout factor is probably why Samu came on.
