Call me cynical but I don't think Rocky knows the meaning of commitment. He is only playing because his Wallaby spot is being compromised by the good form of others.

So are you suggesting he has been ok to play but it's purposely resting? He gave his all in that game, most people wouldn't have stayed on with that injury, he wanted to finish 80 mins.

Isn't that showing some form of commitment coming back early to be in contention to try and earn his spot back then? Not knowing the meaning of commitment would be sitting in the stands waiting for his name to be read out by Deans later this year.

That is what I suspect he has been doing until now and has realised it won't work. Rocky just doesn't strike me as much of a team man.

McCabe, Moore, Gits
I thought Rocky was getting involved in tight which was great to see.
Some of you must have seen a different game to me, Colby had a good game last week but had a shocker this week.

The way I saw it, he had a great game last week, and another solid game last night. Remembering the young lad was lining up against the worlds best openside in Pocock, and an all Wallaby backrow.

While I agree with your main point, I think McAwe might have something to say about who the best openside is...

Nothing wrong with the odd Aussie bias

 

[Shiggins]

Pocock should of been awarded the orb international player last year. Not mccaw. He got it because he was in a great team and caption of that team. Yeah he is probably the best 7 in the history of the game and played very well last ye but not as good as pocock.


Go the force!!!!

Harsh mate, very harsh. Whilst not having a big game last night, I did watch him with some interest. For most of the second half he was hobbling, so I think it says something about his committment that he was still running around at the end.

If he really lacked ticker and team ethos, he'd still be plying his trade up North for some big bucks.
