Shepherd gooonnnneeee

[barbarian]

Foxsports reporting he is out for 4 months for another ankle operation. That sucks arse for him and more importantly the Wallabies in a position where it is fair to say we lack depth and talent.

Should have seen this coming I suppose. As soon as 3M goes down Shepherd and Shane Watson just have to outdo him...

Sux, huge time.

Calling James O'Connor. Step up, young man.

McClinden should get an opportunity now

 

[Biffo]

No doubt about that. I thought he would get his chance even before Shepherd's latest setback.

What is it about Shepherd, and Turinui, and MMM, and that useless turd, FU Watson? Isn't there an antidote for Heenan's Syndrome? Why, oh why, haven't their respective conditioning coaches worked out an appropriate program to ensure they last out a season?

To see professional sportsmen continually break down, as this group regularly do, is mystifying.

I think Turner is looking like a solid fullback.

 

[Lindommer]

Not a good enough kicker for mine. He should be better than he is, hanging around Swans at Moore Park and all.

Same with AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) - inconsistent with the boot. Mitchell can't tackle. Has to be O'Connor then?

Unfortunately McClinden's defense and ability to take a high ball under pressure is a worry. Very good in attack though. I think he's been called into the 7s side but Dingo may work wonders with him.
