In the trial, with no idea who he was, my first thought was "had Naiyaravoro shaved his head?, the fat bastard" :eek:

Mate the more I played, the less I realized I knew about scrummaging But I always had more trouble with squat THPs who could get under me and drive out through my spine

I would love for someone far cleverer than me to explain why Robertson was ever moved from THP to LHP. I thought he was bloody effective at THP in his first season and has been less effective since moving to LHP.

If we get analed again at scrum time in SA, who knows what will happen

It also seemed Foley wasn't defending at hooker off lineouts, was that right? Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk

Or making a tackle to stop a play or being offside, yes the margins are tight Or making a jarring ball in all tackle or attacking the head Or competing for a high ball or taking the player out They are big plays that deserve a big punishment when they are not done effectively I guess I...

I think it does, pull down a maul, be off side, slap the ball away, tackle someone without the ball, they are all negative play and deserve a good slap. Do it to stop a try and you should spend time in the bin, do it to stop a clear try scoring opportunity, yellow card

I see Kepu is staying in Sydney and missing this tour, brave move Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk

It was a penalty try and a yellow in the Lions game

I thought Beale's "non-try" was a great highlight on what they appear to be trying to develop. Very unselfish ball play I also thought that intercept should have been a yellow, if that wasn't negative play stopping a try, I don't know what is

The positive to me was the energy and enthusiasm the reserves brought in, we were able to lift tempo and finish off the game. Plenty to improve on, but we would have lost that game last season

Whatever the question, it is unlikely Holloway is the answer If we need another lock, pick a lock with actual workrate Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk

It was one game, he will do better Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk

So how far is NAISARANI away from qualifying as a wob? Best 8 in the country by miles Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk

there needs to be an acceptable level of base fitness first

good 9s always look great behind a dominant pack, I wouldn't judge much playing behind a pack playing 7 or 6 for most of the game

Yeah, they weren't crap and showed a lot of ticker under very trying circumstances The ref seemed to want a standard for the season. If that is the standard, there will be a lot of 14, 13 or 12 man sides playing all year

Good try to the reds Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk

I look forward to seeing Valetini under more focus, he does some great things, but lets see his overall game against a higher standard first - and consistently

Without evidence of actual wrongdoing he can't be sacked, so then it comes down to a payout to get rid of him So then the question comes down to his employers, can he add value to the team?
