Force v Waratahs, round 13, Saturday 9 May

[Melchior]

Reported on other websites that Foley is 'fighting on' at the Force and the playing group is strong noting his tenure at the Tahs ended after 8 losses and he's going for 12 on the trot here.

Next I guess the board will be trotting out a statement offering their full support...

Foley's overall record is surely worse than Graham's?

I wouldn't think so the Force did quite well last year, as the risk free game can at times. Foley also had the advantage of those years playing the same plan at the Tahs under Hickey when they managed consistent results. Doesn't change the core point, that imo after a year or two maximum the Foley plan has taken a side as far as it will go under that system.

Yeah but he was head coach he was 4-12 with the Tahs. Someone do the stats please

 

[Strewthcobber]

Mediocre though his success is, Foley is nearly 5% more a winner than Graham at the moment. (18/59 - 30% v 14/53 - 26%)

Shit.....you guys are worried about the game Saturday. I can smell the fear....whooohhahahhahahhaha!

You guys have to get over Michael Foley. Its getting a bit embarrassing. Its been 3 years and a championship for you. Why so much bitterness?

 

[Pfitzy]

Foley's only issue was failing to rein in the ego issue at the Tahs. Great forwards coach

They could get him a mentor.

Taquele and Bertham just mucking around in the warm up.

Unlike me to say this, I know, but go the Force.

You will be doing the Rebels a big favour should you trip up the Tahs.

NSW are never happy unless they are whining about a perceived slight or some such dig against them, no matter how long ago it was.

What's with the away strip for the Tahs? White would have been better, its too similar to the Force.

pretty common nowadays to - when tackled - get up again while your one leg is held and then go to ground again (without releasing the ball in between) to buy some more time (illegally). Folau did it just now and he's a serial offender (not the only one, but he does it every time). Refs need to ping that for not releasing

 

[ChargerWA]

Rasolea on instead of Burton and Brache kicking. We are through the looking glass here people.

 

[D-Box]

Looks like people are getting the backline they wanted. At the moment 10 Burton, 12 Godwin 13 Brache

 

[Tordah]

Hooper looks ridiculous with that scrum cap.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

^^^ His tackling is also poor as he (and Fat Cat) lets in the opening try for the Force.

Force #8 9, Louwrens, gets meat after 20 minutes. Burton adds the extras so Force lead 7-0.

I prefer the cap than watching him pull his hair back every minute
