c'mon, He can't play at 10 without the ball,now your saying he can't play 10 with the ball in our 1/2. Can't you see how limited that makes him? Either play him at 10 all fucking day,or say he is too much of a risk to play him at all.

How many tries to the Reds last night? They didn't really exploit anything last night did they?

Then they should address the "broken development pathway" Not smooth over the cracks, and have a short term solution of bringing in more foreigners.

Money well spent on some peoples education?

But they don't.Last year Merriman was also playing Colts 2's? for Uni,and was preferred to Donlan who was excelling in Shute Shield. No doubt there are many talented kids being warehoused in Colts 2's due to the points system.But if they are not considered good enough to play in a top grade by...

The CHS forwards did a job on the CAS pack yesterday.They dominated from the outset,before any injuries were sustained. Credit to the CAS boys, they stuck on well.It could have been a big score if they didn't stay on task.

This!

Wow, how big is the academy? And Domkins is not in it? How? His schoolboy CV is equal to those mentioned.

7 debutantes says it all. add to that Manu has played very little all season. That's 8 players Foley doesn't want in his match day squad ALL year. That's a second rate team. Certainly by Foley's reckoning, or he would have used them previously, wouldn't he?

I thought the "touring team" was assembled prior to any trials, so that it was a invitational or a development team, rather than a rep team. I think.....

I'm with Jay C. BEFORE the match,given the travel,limited preparation time,and lack of playing time as a group.The BIL would not have been at unbackable odds. If ever the Force were going to beat the BIL, then it was now. But in true Foley style, they never fired a shot. they took the safe way...

Yeah, terrific great job. Sign on make 1/2 dozen posts, then make demands on how the joint should operate. The mods do a good job here, they don't need some Johnny come lately telling them what the required behavior is. Had you even read other threads than this(and I see this is the only thread...

Didn't a couple of Manly team mates get selected from outside of the National Academy?

Had they played their best side,no doubt many would have backed up and played the Tahs. Unless they were hit with injuries,in which case they would field whatever players were available.I'm sure no rules would be broken in that scenario.

He is the most capped(equal) Oz schoolboy as well, isn't he?

How do you justify Gill leapfrogging Hooper? Hooper has excelled in the test arena,Gill has been competent. Gills form would have to be lengths ahead of Hooper this year to get promoted above him. It hasn't been.

Funny, those same Test players were hapless under "Foles" last year. if you are happy, then terrific. let's see how chuffed you are in another year. EVERYONE that I know who supports the Tahs, is happy for you as well.

He was in no way being critical IMO. Just stating that he looked in discomfort as he came off. Which supported the view that Harry was very unwell prior to playing.

Working from the mess they were in last year, I am stoked at the improvement both in their performance,and their results.They won 4 games last year,and have won 7 thus far. You forget they lost the last 8 games under Foley. Give it another year,when those close games are never converted to...

Bruce, have you ever, ever heard him say his team was crap, or were dominated? It is his incessant "spinning" of the facts after each loss, that used to infuriate me. And his never ending negative/conservative style of play. Praising the defence? That is a long bow, even for Foley I would have...
