The Force not playing their best available team against the Lions - lack of respect.

Under McKenzie's coaching, I would pick JOC (James O'Connor) on the wing in a heartbeat. My questionable one remains Slipper at THP. The Wallabies only considered him as a LHP and has McKenzie only picked him as a THP for the Reds because he had no other decent THP option? I think he and Robinson cover off LHP...

It was the 'poor bloody coach' who left his poor bloody team without a goal kicker.

Making their debut against NZ didn't seem to hurt Phil Kearns, Willie O, Andy McIntyre, Tim Gavin, Tony Daly or Pocock.

Randwick scored 7 tries (35 of their 41 points) and lost. Pick a kicker.

Sadly that was his son who got mixed up with the wrong crowd and did some silly things.

Benji has 2 bad habits that threaten his value in both league and union. 1. He runs across field all the time. 2. He has become reluctant to take on the line and go into contact. Who wants these habits in a 7/6 in RL or 10/12 in RU?

Great to see Cheika train the Waratahs at night and out with suburban clubs. The majority of Super Rugby games are played at night and it was amazing to see how seldom previous year's teams trained at night.

Not sure if he was wanted or not but he played U20's for 2 yrs at the Bulldogs and then joined the Tahs. Someone will know the answer out there in GAGR land.

Would Rocky Elsom be the answer?

As you were.

Cheika loves confrontation, both personally and for his team. Most people equate confrontation with physical threat. Cheika's favourite confrontation is confronting the truth. He will not hold back if bullshit is evident in effort, discipline or performance and look out any impostor trying to...

Just watch him play more closely and then pass judgement. The difference is that Sharpe sometimes wanted to go to ground quickly and Carter doesn't because his head's up and he's striving to make ground. A good coach could fix this problem.

I like his effort but far too often he goes to ground too easily. He needs to learn to widen his feet and drops his hips because he continues to get knocked over like a felled tree.

Good question. I would select the best individuals in each position in the forward pack and then check the pack overall for balance. Balance for me means physicality, line out skills, ball carrying and defensive structure. For example against the AB's I would start with Douglas and Mowen in the...

Agree, he plays wide and loose and is not the 'on baller' lock we need against the AB's. There seems to be a sameness about a lot of the young fringe back 5 forwards Jones, Carter, Neville and Pyle. They are very different to Horwill, Fardy, Douglas and MMM.

Yes but will anyone see the selection of QC (Quade Cooper) as conservative?

Not sure if it's been mentioned but an issue that needs addressing is the effect the Penrith club will probably have on semi-final positions in the lower grades and colts. Because their are not 2 full competition rounds, those lucky clubs who play Penrith twice add 60-100+ points to their points...

And JOC (James O'Connor) should share another quote with his buddies who cover their bodies in tattoos "You don't put bumper stickers on a Ferrari"

It seems to be 100% an attitude problem with JOC (James O'Connor). He is blessed with god given skills, and no one has ever questioned his courage. There are more questions than answers at this time. Does he understand the difference between confidence and arrogance? Will he become one of our greatest unrealised...
