His tackling has improved,however 13 missed tackles in 3 games(how many minutes?) is hardly stellar. As you say,his decision making needs work. That is a worrying combination. Bad reads take more than a video session to fix,it's also miles on the clock. I'd be taking him on all day,every day...

Made a hole once by coming in,not staying on his man. If they run at/around him all day,they will win convincingly.

Size trumps performance at the Rebels,so Jack D is safe unless he gets smaller:)

I would guess,that they saw Wests were poo in rd 1,and Easts went better than expected. The results of both these games validated their decision. I absolutely agree rd 1 should have been a Manly v Souths. But I accept there was a reasonable argument for showing Uni in their grand opening of...

Which game did you want them to telecast? Rats v Souths is the obvious one,but it's a night game,so it's out. The other likely game is Easts v Norths. But then you have Easts on TV twice which is a bigger outrage than the 2 semi finalists from last year.

It stops being McIntyres fault when O'Connor ignores performance & continues to select him. He's had 2 games since the assassination, if McIntyre is picked again,then O'Connor is confirming that this standard is satisfactory.

It's not all Graham's fault. The new guys are picking the same guys,playing the same way,getting the same results. McIntyre may or may not end up being a quality super 10. But he's incompetent atm,picking him because he's young,helps no one. Greene cannot play worse,give him 4 weeks & see if...

Nope, your initial post was inferring that the only difference between the 2 10's was experience.clearly that's not the case,you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear. The comparisons are valid. The current squad is below par. You don't live with what you have,most of the best performed...

McIntyre would never have been picked up by the Chiefs. They would have replaced Fainga'a a contract extension ago,they have a thousand guys that can do what Hunt does, CFS would also be a distant memory there,ditto Kerevi. That's the difference.

What offensive structure can you use with the current personnel? How many Reds backs would get run on positions in other teams? It appears to me that they have decided that Hunt is not the answer at 12,which should automatically mean that they need to revisit their selection @ 10.

The biggest hangover from Graham's tenure is the composition of the squad. Until there is a pretty comprehensive clean out, don't expect things to change that much. I just cant fathom what might be a winning style with the current personnel. You might squeek out one or two wins against the...

the backs don't have the skill set to execute moves closer to the advantage line. if they can't catch & pass with precision well before the line,they are no chance doing it at the line. If the Highlanders play to their current standard next week,it's going to be ugly.

You are confusing intensity for quality. It was never going to be a glittering handling display from the Reds backs, because it's beyond them at this level. Tahs were fair,now they are poor. I can't believe the impact Cheika leaving has had,with essentially the same playing group. Both sides...

You only need a second ball player if your first ball player is not up to standard. QC (Quade Cooper) would have putting these same guys through holes all day. Keep picking JM,but don't expect results to change whilst he's there.

Pfft only twice? It's been said before,Foley is an expert at getting the Tahs beaten. I remember he got them beat 12 times in 2012 :)

The Sydney Clubs did not sell unencumbered properties,and give the proceeds to improve a property owned by someone else. They (in the main) died the death of a thousand cuts,frittering away their assets gradually. Many,many licensed clubs traded unprofitably and ended up either little or no...

Yeah you did deserve to go down by 24. Rebs were poo tonight. But that's ok,there are excuses for why they were poo. It's been a tough schedule up till tonight.

Not the same at all. Big Arse sell your house,we'll use the funds to build a fucking mansion on a vacant block of land I own. You & yours can live there rent free for 20 years,then get the fuck out. You happy with that?

So the coaching staff & major sponsor/s are supporting Jones. And those aligned with the decision to 'invest' the majority of their funds into facilities someone else owns,are against him? If it was a western,I know who wears the White hat,and who wears the black hat..........

After Foley returned with the Tahs after their triumphant tour of SA in 2012.(was it 6 or 9 straight losses?) He suggested that maybe they should re task him to be the forwards coach the following year.When the Blazers had finished their review,and decided that he could keep his job as head...
