More than that, there ARE no options to be better. Doesn’t mean The Cheika doesn’t bother me.

I would rather see us lose chucking the ball about than any of the other options, so I would want to see any option replacing Cheika following this ethos.
Kick and clap would drive me away, as would reverting to Dean-ball and playing one out safety first rugby
Personally I think we are growing a decent team, but not a great team.

I am a firm believer in Jake Gordon, probably followed by Tuttle for next off the cab come 2019. White would however be a welcome addition back, more than capable player

Good one Sully. But anyone who watched that game knows that he had no support in the situation and had little option other than to kick. It wasn't a well placed kick (what box kicks are?), but what lost the game was the missed tackle by you-know-who that let the try in.
Hope you are not too disappointed with my response.
Nick Bishop certainly knows his rugby, and he has outlined how effective Nic is playing at Exeter. But all of those skills have been on display in the past. One box kick aside, there has been widespread agreement that he has always had a good, long kicking game, while his service at the back of the ruck was always rated by Brumbies' fans. His running game was well and truly on display in his time with Eastwood in the SS, but apparently didn't fit the game plan so much at the Brumbies.
And as far as his efforts in defense were concerned, I still recall with amusement a tackle on Sam Whitelock that stopped him dead in his tracks and left him flat on his back on the ground.
Nic has always had the skills to play at Wallaby level. just not always the support of the system or the fans.

I prefer to remember his performance against the Kiwis a year later when he won us the Rugby Championship...........

There are people who thought it was good that Dean Mumm was starting ahead of Fardy. Of course there are people who undervalue Nic White.

As much as losing a youngster to Gridiron may shit others, 6'5 and 250lbs rather than 195cm and 113kg shits me more.

I wouldn't loose too much sleep over that one. He had some talent with ball in hand, not the greatest of defenders.
Has a lot of maturing to do, was sidelined on more than one occasion for poor attitude and unsporting behaviour.
Not a loss to the code like Crichton was.
Good luck to him in his chosen code.

I wouldn't know, but I seriously doubt what you suggest.
He played Rugby and looks to be a once in a generation star lost to League.

Measuring stuff by comparing it to nearby objects is fun. For example, that man is approximately 12.8 bananas tall and weighs 4237 human testicles..

He is only signed with the Reds for 2018 and will be 30 by seasons end, so it wouldn’t surprise me.
