WJ makes an interesting and troubling point. Genia only became the first choice 9 for the Wallabies around the EOYT last year (probably post-Brisvegas TNs test) but already he's being picked while out of form and (apparently) injured. So in 7 tests (is it?) he has become a reputation selection...

This is just like the thread about Clarkey's split with Lara Bingle; Myopic views of the situation thrown around followed by a look at the bigger picture and sport taking it's rightful place in peoples lives.

Welcome aboard, H, some good arguments there.

JO'C is 19, isn't he? Why are we expecting a 19 year old who spends his time in the golden circle of Aus Rugby with unlimited resources available to him to act any differently?

I hope Nadolo kills it in France for a few seasons, gains a better skill base and then comes back. But I hope he comes back to the Force. Lord knows they could use a marquee player and some strike power.

You'd hope the AB's would make more tackles than us since we spent 3 whole minutes more in their 22.

I think Moore has done better than Fainga'a so far this International season, and he's missed some footy lately too.

Lee is like the Ancient Mariner, doomed to tell the sad tale of what could have been. I think another benefit of three tier rugby is the level increase is physicality; Grant is a good example. He has great potential, but a gradual increase in physicality as he progresses through to the top S15...

So Ipswich > Brisbane?

Didn't really look like they were going off at each other, more like they were exclaiming about the Woodcock incident.

I admire JO'C's ability to tackle the big men, something I've personally had trouble with in my "career". Fullback is one of the hardest areas to defend from, wing is also underated by most and is very difficult to defend. I'd take Beale over JO'C this year, and maybe even next year. JO'C has...

The Doc was injured wasn't he?

I disagree, I think JOC (James O'Connor) and Beale are about equal in terms of defence. And I'm fairly sure that the example you used was JOC (James O'Connor)'s defensive lapse, as he was out positioned and made a weak attempt.

Does anyone know if Weildler is an ex-player? He gives that particular... aura.

Taken from a "Monday Maul"-esque article I read on League HQ. Seems like wubbish, if you ask me.

Absolutely. Although he is a favorite of mine, I can say without bias that he would be selected. IMO Pietersen was flat this year and wouldn't add the spark that GvdH would.

Unfortuantley, I agree that it doesn't look as bad now as it did watching the game live. Just out of interest, what was the reaction of the stoooopid Foxsports "commentators"?

Perhaps said user should have researched the author? If you critique an article you usually take the time to find out what paper it appeared in and who wrote it.

Or he's just being polite, suring up future offers. Questions did appear to come from a NZ paper.

If you're right, Blue, Snor is missing a really good opportunity to find some backup for the currently injured players. FdP is a good example; Januarie has been tested before, and retested this year and shown to be not up to it. Pienaar didn't look up to it either, but he wasn't given a decent...
