I think they are expecting Skelton to put in a shift of at least 25 minutes being the point of a pod and getting over the advantage line to keep us going forward at the end of the match. We fell off towards the back end of the Wales game and lost our attacking shape, we weren't getting that...

Or maybe when he got his first major professional injury and he suffered from the black dog and all those "dark arts" were lost in malaise

Pocock moves to 7 or 8, Mumm moves to 6

Plus a better kicking game from the base

what is it then?

The challenge with those games is that you don't know the fitness load he is under as part of his rehab, he had a lot of catching up to do and it is likely he was being smashed all week with little tappering

I think Fardy's focus on "on ball work" is not as suitable at the moment. It creates too many penalties and the risk/reward for it has lessened and it appears Cheika wants more counter ruck after a dominant tackle than a team focus on getting their hands on the ball in the ruck

Skelton is a an interesting choice, hopefully his work on the training ground is why, but he is a player in transition, he has been doing a lot more actual lock work this season but less of the stuff that got him into the Wobs early. But with Mumm and Skelton on the bench we do have two of...

do you factor in minutes in the bin as well?

Nah you would, they know how to get around things

Yep and it sets out what will happen As I said the usual response is "improved training over procedures and everyone moves on." It is why in a previous life I had to pass an internal test on the TPA and relative legislation before I could consult with clients, not because the company...

Excuse me for being a cynic, but any problem with Commonwealth Funds comes down to an accounting audit, accounting entries and whether the funds lent were those funds (a) or monies allocated from NSWRU (b). The accountants on here will testify to the ease of adjusting that, if the funds were in...

Yeah, great, won't happen, the NSWRU aren't going to take it further and the money was returned

Big difference between a elected public official and NFJ But not from running a business, in the real world it is only used to get rid of people the boss\the board wants out, if you are performing, it is sorted out NFJ works as a "director" for a funds manager, if he is bringing in enough...

They were also using pods a bit more

Issues? Farr Jones' responsibilities to the board and whether ACSIC smack him re not meeting a director's responsibilities An audit of funding, realistically if there was more money in the account than the funding allocation, it isn't a fed gov issue as their money wasn't used.

You can't hate Taf, just think of him doing charity work with the unfortunate

I think the structure used in attack suits Foley. It was very structured with a load of runners in motion on most back plays. I can't remember seeing Folau & TK run so many lines, sucking in defenders and creating space for others for quite a while. Cooper is more prone to add lib; and that...

In retrospect, probably the best news for Aus from this game was Kuridrani being back and in form.

Nah, Horne can defend in the centres, so Folau can drop into the pendulum meaning with robbo we have a great, quick kick return unit I always want a 14/15 on one side and the bigger blindside in 11 and while Taqele will do something going forward his lack of mobility and flexibility against...
