why would you play the countrys best 12 at 7, this better be a joke!
A better joke is your blank post - just a quote. Not at all like you
actually i quoted myself, everyone else was doing it, i thought i would join in!

I expect Carter to get a lot of splinters sitting on the bench next season for the Tahs, as I can't see him making the starting side.

Unlikely,
A backline of
9 Burgess
10 Barnes
11 Anesi
12 Beale
13 Horne
14 Mitchell
15 Turner
looks most likely

What about poor old Hangers?
I honestly think our two biggest problems last season was SNK only kicking on return (and badly) and Carter perennially crash balling.
Next season we should have some serious kick return options a 10 who will control the game and a guy at 12 who will pass.

Don't think Anesi will perform to the level people expect. Hope to be proven wrong, but I doubt it.
Who knows, the defensive miracle T. Carter may get the starting 12 again next year! I hear the waratahjeebus is salivating at the prospect right now.
As much as scarfy will hate me to say it, I agree with fatprop that SNK at fullback was a bit of a failure. No counter, stuggled to break the line, couldn't break a tackle and couldn't do what he does best (dish out the ball) from that position.
At least Mitchell, Turner and Anesi are all quick runners of the ball. Two ball players at 10 and 12 (Barnes and Hangers/BealeCarter) will favour those guys.
The only thing lacking in that backline will be size, but at S14 you can get away with it most games.

It would be nice if he occasionally broke a tackle with all the 'crash balling' he does.. Every time he does this though it's like throwing a wet sock at a brick wall.
If he ever does get lucky enough to be gifted a try, he jumps up with the most ridiculous celebration like he's Monkey trying to summon his fucking cloud! :angryfire:
I really don't think I can face another season of him butchering the Tahs backline...

regardless, the tahs are the best side in aus by a mile and carter the best 12!

I thought you guys were taking the piss for a minute there. Carter played mostly off the bench. How the hell did he sabotage the Tah backline ? By tackling everything that moved ? By being the only back to chase kicks, commit to the breakdown, and run straight & hard ?
Bring on the sarcasm, blah blah Tom Carter is the greatest defensive back in the game because he kills the attacking play of both teams. :

i dont do things for the glory, glory just comes to me.
'campaign' would mean i was actually trying.
tom carter offers something no other 12 in this country does.
the tahs are the only team that even threatened to make the finals at the end of the day.
are these two things a mere coincidence, i think not my friends!

Really? I thought he only went to the bench once Beale was brought back in at 12. Either way, the Tahs were fucked with either Carter or Hangers starting every game. I think Carter should re-invent himself as a 13 and move to the Force. Cross will be retiring soon, there aren't that many 13's running around, and that position suits his game a lot more IMO.

Tahs backline hasn't had any chemistry for years. Fans complain the problem is we don't get it wide enough. We did, only to end up with Turner et al knocking it on or kicking pill away. I don't get why Carter gets scapegoated.
Nick Cummins is the best 13 at the Force and should be starting over Cross.
