Blues v Tahs, round 11 2014

[BigSteve]

worst display of rugby by the tahs this season, the handling errors are just ridiculous, they lost this game by themselves

Jeez Folau starred in that game!

Thanks Tahs made my weekend

 

[Blue]

Finally everyone should agree that the Beale at 12 experiment now needs to stop.

 

[Inside Shoulder]

The real problem is that they have been on a downward trend for 3 weeks (at least)

 

[ChargerWA]

Shoulder charge by Nonu at the death. Should get a few weeks because of his past history.

Why? How is that the problem? There was enough attacking potential to score 4 tries easily. They just couldn't execute.

It should never have started: and my posts will show my consistency in this regard.
It's a superficial solution to a deep seated problem.

At least it wasn't the worst performance at Eden Park. That goes to fucking Sky Sport producers who played that music during the game. What the actual fuck.

Tahs now looking very much the pretenders they've been for far too many years.

1. Change captains to Hooper.
2. Drop Fat Cat - provides no go forward with the ball in hand and saunters around the field.
3. Dennis to the bench until he develops some aggro
4. Clone Potgeiter
5. Look up "patience" in the dictionary and blend it with flare
6. Get some real speed back on the wings.
7. FFS get somebody on the field in the refs ear about opponents transgressions

He impinges on Foley's ability to call the shots by seemingly being given the right to overcall everything

His passing was poor today and he was going too lateral too often. He also got smacked around in contact several times. Cheika either needs to play him at 10 or 15 I think. Better still, he can be a super sub for when the game gets a bit unstructured at the end.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

KB (Kurtley Beale) should book the surgery now. Not a good performance. Poor form to glare at others for his mistakes. He needs to take some ownership for his actions, and rectify errors. 1st step is to acknowledge that he has made an error.

Bullshit, the Tahs made plenty of breaks and had try scoring opportunities. There's nothing wrong with Beale at 12.

I think you left out 4A.
Which is clone Potgeiter

Benn Robinson got to go, not even sure why Kepu was taken off and not him. Paddy Ryan finally had a good game.

You're deluding yourself. The first few attacks where miracle balls went to ground were potential, the next 20 that followed were doing the same thing and expecting a different result, the definition of madness.

Fine - don't blame me as that bandwagon goes over the precipice otherwise known as the sideline, to which his instincts draw him whenever anyone puts a bit of pressure on his inside shoulder

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Not a good sign for the Wobs in the Bled Cup, with Kaino playing a dominant game got the Blues.

 

[qwerty51]

He didn't have a great game but they made plenty of breaks, the whole team should concentrate on patience and ball handling skills before Beale's lateral game gets called into question.
