Pointe with Veldsman in his ear, does not bode well

I agree, the backline has been dysfunctional too often in attack. sometimes, but I don't think we have the side to win the tournament ie play consistently enough to win the next 5 important games in a row no matter who we chuck in

3 McMahon 2 McCalman 1 Phipps

Horwill and Dennis are in apparently

Yeah, the majority of 10s will miss tackles. More of an attitudinal issue to me, I just dislike "arm grabber" defenders, they never look like like they are taking their defensive "efforts" seriously. Beale fits in that genre as well. They both have too much emphasis on being available...

Ahh, no, but the game plan I would be happier to see is about the team working hard, getting all the details right and leveraging the opportunities that come our way by doing the simple catch and passes right rather than relying on someone to throw a money ball.

So your game plan would be to go wide and for all out attack against England? Interesting, we would then select who outside him - how would you pick a side? Personally, I see the game being a grinding dock yard brawl. I see England wanting to invest heavily in slowing our ball, while...

It is the Aus backs disease, too often they go for the "money" ball instead of (as the ABs consistently do) keeping it simple, effective and trusting the basic skills of the guy outside of them

We need three lineout options to be an effective unit. With two, the opps can easily mark our real options so we either throw to a contest or throw off the spare McMahon is great on the ground, but McCalman provides more flexibility and aerial skill on the bench

It would be nice at times if both players had a bit more of eachother about the them Foley would be better if he had a longer kick and better wide money balls Cooper would be better if he bent his back in defence and didn't try to throw a miracle ball every time

As long as they are playing in the super comp, I see no problem having the foreign teams helping to develop aus players

I think the replacements may all have come on earlier if the next game wasn't so close

Yeah, with the likely centre option at the Reds, a 2nd play maker at 15 (or 13) will be very helpful Hunt looks like a great option to fill that role On the game plan from this year for him? meh

The Lions seem to have plan, but the Stormers (and the Bulls and Sharks) too often seem to be more bothered with the physical confrontation than winning the game

Great coach, but are the Stormers coachable?

Pretty good side, the biggest question to me is having both Skelton and Mumm on the bench, I think McCalman could have added more flexibility

Not to the same extent, but yeah the trend is there. I don't think Foley would be having a Japanese sabbatical if the Tahs could offer him Kieran Foran type wages; and I understand Folau makes his big cash via 3rd party deals

Yeah, the big money in the NRL is now pretty well going to key players only with the rest on bugger all to fit within the salary cap

Yes mate, at first I wasn't sure if it was Iggy or Madonna :oops:
