Re-read what I said. It's on Foley to fix up his kicking game.

Ive fucking had it reading year in, year out how the coaches aren't any good when the same players have the same deficiencies no matter what coach they have.

It's not the coach - these players clearly do not look at their own issues and fix them.

If Foley had a professional attitude towards playing flyhalf, he would throw some of his own time, money and effort at a personal kicking coach and develop the skills necessary to succeed.

He clearly hasn't.

Surely its on the coach to take into account his players different attributes either through selection or game plan.

The pay per test match is about 10k, right? The own players should reject it

The problem is the Cheika seems to adopt a 'tailor the players to fit the scheme' mentality. He needs to adopt a 'tailor the scheme to fit the players' mentality

They should make the players pay 10k to the ARU

Why did hooper rollaway after the tackle. Need to slow the ball down. Why don't we see the all blacks doing things and do the same. Piper isn't blowing the whistle for anything

Ive never seen so much egg on a coaches face after a loss. What was cheika thinking not picking a THP on the bench. Ala'alatoa got schooled out of position.

Or pick different players. He's married to Foley, seemingly, and its unclear as to why. He's married to Moore as skipper, and I have no idea why. There are others.

Gruen recently had a segment where an ad agency put together an ad suggesting we sell Tasmania and buy New Zealand.

That doesn't seem like a bad idea now.

 

[Shiggins]

Fuck me piper. They aren't letting the ball go
why wait 5 seconds to blow the whistle.

The backlash has well and truly begun

 

[Shadow]

Cheika will bring back wycliff Palu for next game!

 

[Strewthcobber]

That was the worst lineout of the entire night and that is saying something.

Who's the lineout coach?

 

[Marcelo]

Where is Lopeti Timani? Ok, he can't jump but at least he's going to smash some ABs, he's stronger that any current forward

 

[Shiggins]

Are you alowed to lift and throw te jumper into the opisition line out ?

True, but there are quite a few others who need looking at too. Most, if tonight is any guide.

Finally someone kicks the ball into space

Maybe genia should do all the kicking

For anyone who has fox sports: the adelaide vs port adelaide afl game is pretty tight

 

[Shiggins]

How is that not a yellow to arty. Didn't even call a penalty for it. Fuck this

I hear the Olympic reruns on 7 are close as well

If Kuridrani doesn't finally get dropped after this woeful display I don't know what he has to do to manage it.

The only Wallaby player I think can walk off this pitch with something like his head held high is Genia. He's managed to get good quick ball all night, something that ordinarily would go a long way towards scoring some points.
