Quality of Involvement is an absolutely quantifiable statistic (there's been a more than a few 'QOI' at the ruck studies/posts made on here in the past year) - it's just also an absolute pain in the ass to record unless you've got heaps of free time on your hands.

Lolo isn't just abrasive, that kid has some serious skills and real "court vision" too. I know we've been burned on over-hyping youngsters in the past and he's had limited minutes at Super Rugby level - but I've been really impressed with what I saw during those minutes.

:confused: Yeah, because this one loss after two full seasons of shit - that will be the difference maker. Supporting the team and supporting retainment of an underperforming coach are two entirely different things. This is just a completely bizarre post.

Yes, it was his tribute to Jerry - Toulon played in the Top 14 semi-final today. Collins was the best man at Masoe's wedding.

I'm just over here wondering how the fuck we didn't at least get Iron Man. The Flash - seriously? Does this mean everyone gets some second-rate DC superhero?

Ahhh, I get it - because no other clubs in recent memory have gone to shit quite as quickly as the Reds.

Graham was hired as Wallabies "skills coach" in March of 2009 and left for the Western Force in September 2010. We scored an average of 28 points per match between June 2010 and November 2010 - excluding the Fiji match. Our overall record was 9-5 for the year (again, excluding Fiji). Wins...

Teams are going to be structuring their forward attack to run the ball at Pocock and will be taking every opportunity to get up to off-the-ball shenanigans to keep him out of as many breakdowns as possible. Fardy would have plenty of opportunity to get over the ball. Fardy's other attributes...

Eh, plenty of people have been pushing for Williams to start getting more time in the centers. Jiffy Jr. was a huge part of their system a few years ago (primarily because he was the assigned "shooter" on defense a lot of the time) but he hasn't been up to his old standards for a bit.

Just got through re-watching the first half now that I'm a bit more awake and jeeze Matt O'Brien does not look up to Super Rugby standard at all.

I don't think we're due to see Halley's comet for a while

It's the Force. We are playing the Force, in case you forgot.

Jaco better be stripped of his post the second this match ends Fucking disgraceful

Saffa commentators are very boring and incredibly biased when it's anyone but a SA team playing another SA team. Aussie announcers are boofheads but are the most entertaining of the bunch by far. NZ commentators are the best overall and have been for a while.

It's not like this doesn't happen in different corporate environments fairly regularly. The biggest concern on my end would be that RG has lost the playing group to the point where they just don't want him around at all, so keeping him on in any capacity could compromise the changing room...

Since my gamble with Qwerty ended in a gentleman's agreement of a draw - any Mexicans up for one regarding the upcoming Reds A v. Reds match? I'm pretty sure I haven't changed my avatar since 2012 - there's a big fish on the line.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "instead of", but I don't support the Japan contracts during the off-season at all. Playing footy in Top League still isn't the R&R that players need after Super Rugby, much less a full test season on top of that. Obviously part of the issue is player...

It's little to do with mental and almost everything to do with having barely any rest period during the year. Rocky Elsom was the prototype and the ARU should have cut the head off that hydra right then and there - 20/20 hindsight and all that.
