I'm not sure if you are arguing with me or agreeing with me.

Depends, what was your opinion of Eto Nabuli in his. Would you pick him again? Im also going to say that I don’t have anything personally against any of these players, they are far superior to anything I ever achieved on the pitch. Point is we want to make sure our best available players are...

I’ll agree with your second paragraph but as for the last the point I was making is we don’t know if players like Stewart, even Tom English (past) etc are a better option because they aren’t going to be given the opportunity. I know the coach makes the call, and usually I trust said call, but it...

well at least you are showing your hand now TT, I was wondering who you support

I'll say that it's hard to argue against this, however it's also hard to say it's completely right because we didn't get a look at the alternatives. Foketi for example, was written off by many but in Bled 1 at least was a revelation. He will no doubt now be subbed by another Brumbie in Simone...

No one disputes that. But its not 1999

I'd probably swing that around and say he's decided to have a run for Samoa because he's been overlooked in the Wallabies squad as the first choice Rebels hooker by the Brumbies 4th choice hooker

Even if Smith is off the mark (he'd have to be, he writes for NewsCorp, right?), the one comment from Reg on it probably warrants further investigation:

Nor will Joseph Sua'ali'i be touring.

I’ll reiterate

I’m not suggesting selecting them to play against Ireland & France. I’m saying pick one of them to go on the tour for experience, possibly bench v Italy. Our current setups aren’t working so we need to explore the alternatives beyond Foley and Lolesio.

The level of not being selected?

I think it’s a big risk to put all our eggs in the Noah basket is my point. Hodge is a break glass in case of emergency at 10 - more than capable in those circumstances but he is not the answer.

I’m not sold on Noah as being the answer. I would give Donaldson and Edmed time in the A games as well and take the 2 best performers of the 3 on the EOYT.

FTFY

There needs to be an offset for the penalty for missing something in the referee evaluation system. The time the ball is in play would probably be the best metrics for this.

I still havent been able to bring myself to watch the full replay so im not in the best position to comment, but it seems to me that when we put in a good performance Rennie just rolls out the same game plan the following game.

Yeah the coach isn’t the problem, the player drain and discipline are.

I was at a function, the game was on in the background with no sound, I was into it initially and then lost interest when Jed got carded for cleaning out a player who was virtually upside down trying to steal our ball yet Lomax got a pat on the back for intentionally tipping a player last week...

I have been openly saying to people that we still had an opportunity to win it and blew it. Point is we shouldn’t have been in that position. And yeah there is the argument that Foley might have hooked it, or we lost the lineout etc etc. Just imagine the meltdown if it was the other way...
