Yes coaching, coaching can play such a huge part - last 2 games, were planned, and the team executed. Gee ABs are looking good for the RWC.

That's awesome, would love to see more of that.

I'd have Ed Gower ahead of Dean Mumm in the Wobs squad based on current form. Maybe wrong thread but this Shute is a better comp.

Mum in Jones out - that stinks, Jones has stood out all year. Dennis in Jones out - really, I don't see Denis as a lock, and he's probably 4th choice 6.

Wouldn't mind that link being shared so we can play around with it. I look at stats yes, but prefer to watch the game and make judgement based on what see as game plans effect stats - A Jake White coached team would have completely different stats to a Ewen Mckenzie coached team. Also stats show...

Been following this thread - with no contribution - love the idea and work guys. This is what Australian Rugby is all about - well done.

Welcome to the club.

Pete is almost in his mid 40's now, that is winding back the clock a bit. I reckon it is a 15 year build period. Unfortunately a quick fix, can often change into a quick fail. I reckon if the Wobs trained out there, and schools could be involved in some capacity it would grow and start building...

Just a question, you reference investing $, and people taking pay cuts. I believe money has been invested out west before, and the scorelines now are worse than ever. Would it not be better having goodwill invested out west rather than $ and have it done over a significant period. People have...

At Friday sportsmanship lunch NFJ alluded to some great news in the pipeline, would love to hear more.

I heard at a great Manly lunch week that Bill has some good news coming for the grass roots. Can anyone elaborate on the pipeline news?

Did the Tahs have an option on Saturday when they weren't working? I have never said every line out has to be short, I have suggested variations and game plans. Who knows with the scores still close at the break on the weekend, could have been a handy variation to rest the momentum back.

George Smith will no doubt also get a chance to show his form as well. It might be to give Hooper a few weekends off he's had a pretty long season.

I also have the same thoughts with regards to your back row combinations a couple of pages back were you had Poey 7 / Higgers 8 or Hooper 7 / I think you had Palu or McCallman without going back.

My concern are line out options, and reading TWAS post it sounded like you had an idea that would give me some comfort. I read some ones stats about a lot of tries being scored off line outs - I don't think we did that stat any favours on the weekend. All I've suggested is looking at...

Does TOCC have a mystery fix to our current line out problems. And the game plan that goes with it?

Love the passion Belly - the anonomus posters on the above haven't referenced the Nth Shore, and they have been good enough to not even include gods country, ease up in throwing us in the bucket. Up the Marlins!!!!!;) PS under your post you can Edit / Delete / Report.

I hope it is based on form this year and not ensuring all clubs have a quota of players. Last year I think the quota rule had an involvement, this year i hope it is form!! - But as you are saying Nths & Gordon have stepped up this year as well but we need to look at player on player, and game plan.

As did the old fashion restart where the forwards packed the tram tracks and the kicker tried to land it in the tram tracks. Guess what we don't see that any more - old school. Maybe our vision needs to change from the specific line out set piece, master the short man line out, and target...
