Similar situation with the halfbacks, City are currently stacked and Country are short.
City have quite a few decent props and have to leave one of either Kite, Talaki or Fagaase out of their side each week, any of those guys would be great for Country.

Mate understand that and that the City side was a little stacked by the QRU - no real problem with that.
I was really talking about ANY depth of props for the Reds in 2015. We only had 2 top performers being Slipper and Holmes. There is nothing behind them. Now 1 is gone, it leaves a huge gap in the ranks

Hopefully the Reds are able to identify who the best backup will be through the NRC though. Prior to this year it would have been a gamble on who had the best Premier Rugby season but at least they're seeing the top 3 or 4 blokes going up against other S15 standard front rows. I'm sure an able replacement will be selected to fill the gap.

Mate, you are the eternal optimist !!! Personally I just don't think we have the available "cattle"
PS Can you give me the winning Gold Lotto numbers for this week ???? Don't tell the rest of these blokes here.

Country scrum performed terribly last week, admittedly without Greg Holmes. I ended up feeling sorry for the 8 poor buggers, and that feeling started after the first scrum. The City boys just belted them and then belted them again and again.
The scrummie coach needs to be fucked off.

Sure, it was the scrum coaches fault, had nothing to do with the players he was working with.

as always, it is a two way street. In respect of performance, coaches cop the flack, just as players do.
Shit, the list is endless re coaches getting the flick. Shit job, unless you coach the friggin AB's

Country scrum has been pretty shit hot all season, they lose their LHP and most experienced player and their scrum comes under pressure.. It shouldn't have come as a surprise, Country's props are players from outside the Reds WTS and with limited time playing at QPR or SS level, it was always going to be a difficult task..
I don't think a scrum coach should be 'fucked off' for it.

Its always easy to coach a red hot scrum, backline and/or team. The yardstick for me is a coach that can adapt or improve HIS area of expertise that is or has failed badly.
Sure I don't expect a Coach to turn a poor scrummaging outfit into world beaters overnight but some dramatic improvement needs to be implemented forthwith. Otherwise criticism is justified.

Sam Fattal looks to have all the ingredients to be a Super Rugby lock. How has he been tracking?

Fattal had breakout year for Easts this year making his Premier Grade debut after joining Easts out of TSS a few years back. He is still very young (only 20 I think), so he will be better in 2015 for his NRC/QPR exposure in 2014. He has a great mentor in Blake Enever who is also young about 22.
I just hope that Bond doesn't try to steal him.
