JOC (James O'Connor) was interesting on TRC tonight. First - his hair was significantly better than we've seen recently (and it was still bad).
second - his deflection of the Quade question was interesting - i thought he looked pissed off being asked about it, but held it well. he replied "well i haven't been in the camp and around the boys (followed by a deft deflection and change of topic)."
personally, i thought JOC (James O'Connor) didn't agree with QC (Quade Cooper) and the comments from QC (Quade Cooper) annoyed him.
JOC (James O'Connor) for all his pretty boyness seems to me a hard worker who is wholly aware of the fact that getting to play that beautiful rugby can take time in a team as players slowly gel. I also think he's the sort of player who recognizes every moment isn't a moment to chance your arm with a crazy play. he's on numerous occasions had to bail out quade's dumbass plays (think irish intercept, quade's mishandling of the ball in the endzone i think against the ABS).
i think quade is largely on his own - maybe beale with him a bit.i dont know though.
anyways - this was a great edition of the rugby club. my god that was annoying how they pussyfooted around quade the other week.
Why end the speculation there?
