Surprised havent heard your typical view boys (whosethatguy AKA) defending all this talk about scots title credentials ? School holidays still running are they?
Ahh yes, thanks for the bate buddy.
I honestly don't see what the furore is about - is anyone surprised that Scots smashed Cranbrook? I'm certainly not.
The simple fact is that on a team by team basis GPS is considerably stronger than CAS. I honestly think that Riverview, Newington, and perhaps even Joeys would put a similar score on Cranbrook, and any other CAS team for that matter - assuming of course that their full strength teams were played at GPS level intensity.
I'm frankly startled that Scots didn't win by more - they would have if they put their best team on.
Can people please lay off the consistent criticism of HH? It's fine if you don't think he's as good as people say he is, but he is still a very consistent and strong player. Like honestly you have to be mad to deny that defence is one of his strong points. He has consistently proven himself - be it playing for View against guys like Tepai and Tanne, against New Zealand schools against similarly sized wingers, or against Fiji where he was virtually a target for all the traffi - at no stage has his defence faltered.
The fact is, if you're looking for weaknesses in the View team HH certainly isn't the right place to be looking.
More to the point though, it's very hard to compare the two teams at this stage. The fact that Scots were successful out wide against Cranbrook really says nothing about how they will go against View.
Let's just wait and see.
For now, the two sides should have their sights set on Joeys and Shore - let's discuss those games instead, yea?
