Great point. I didn't think of that. but again it's going to depend of what our current weakness and strengths are. Do we need his attacking abilities or will a stronger defensive seven be a better option? I disagree about the second comment. He should lose his place for the balance of the...

Ok. Average is a stretch. He is a good pilferer and an amazing ball-runner and attacking player. Hodegson is a great pilferer and average ball runner. The reason he is picked over Hodgeson is for his ball-running/attacking play. You say he topped the stats last year well Hodgeson probably...

Funny that you mention Dean's as I'm sure he had a word to Hooper about his shortcomings. He did after all send an SOS out to Smith to get him back for the Lion Series since Hooper wasn't up to it at the time. I never said he was an average seven, I said without his ball-running he is average...

I actually think the current wallabies need another tight runner. Slipper plays wide for a prop. There is no TPN or Moore, Kepu is average, Carter and Simmons poor ball runners IMO, Palu is good when in form, Fardy average, Hooper plays loose. And ball security seems like an issue with the...

Pococks ball running was always under-rated. I always use to think of him as an extra prop, he would almost always get over the gain line and always secure his own ball. Nothing flash but strong. Pocock and Hooper would combine well I have no doubt. One is probably the best defensive...

Lilo to start at 10 and magically regain his 2011(2012?) form. We in by 50+

I disagree. I think in the past we played a lot smarter. Our decision making was usually very good. I think these days we have players who are more skilled, faster, make more breaks etc. but they just aren't using their heads as much. An example of this is the numerous times the final pass is...

Yeh but the difference is every single game in that era I had a good feeling we would beat the opposition. Even against the AB's I liked our chances. With the current wallabies the fear of losing to anyone is much higher. Teams like Scotland, Argentina, Wales now worry me when they didn't in...

I guess we are still living in the Larkham/Horan days where more often then not we would thrashed any team not in the top 5. I think you bring up a great point. We under-estimate Argentina. I admit I'm guilty of that.

I think you may have mis-interpreted my post. I actually think he is a great distributor but is in poor form at the moment in that area, which is the main reason I can see why he is being criticised. I'm definitely positive about his games, as you mentioned he has done very well in other...

I think a lot of people still have the 50+ demolition the ABs gave us a couple of weeks ago in their minds. To get out of the slump a convincing win or a thrashing of a much lesser opponent was needed. Instead we came close to a draw. It's games like that we expect to put the knife-in and be...

His distribution has been poor. Something that was the highlight of his super rugby season. I am confident he is a superb distributor some of his short balls in the past 2 years have been world-class. He is a great play-maker at super rugby level but hasn't been able to translate this to Test...

3. Simmons 2. Kepu 1. McCalman

Is McKay the attack coach? If so I have massive doubts.

I hope your right. 12 seems to be a problem at the moment.

It really does look like school boy rugby at times. Dropped balls, Poor decision making, Passing going behind the man constantly, No-one running any good lines, No-one running onto the ball at speed, just really one dimensional attack. I swear we had over-laps 3-4 times out wide but managed to...

We need Cooper back. I'm not sold on the Tahs combo - mainly Beale.

I expect him to get some game time in the EOYT. I think he deserves that at least.

Agreed. I think the general public would be bored shitless and change the channel after 20minutes.

When is Godwin available?;)
