Hanson throws at least one fucked line out a game. He needs to work on removing that.

TWAS I can forgive 1 but sometimes its more than that.
He has had such a wonderful opportunity (with the injuries to others) to become number 1 in the next 2 or so years but I think he has fallen a little short. Moore and TPN probably have a couple of more years at the top of the tree in Aussie then the spot is wide open.

I'm not even going to forgive one. A throw that's less than his best that is picked off, or missed through mis-communication happens. A throw to groin height of the 2 jumper is just shit execution that shouldn't be tolerated in a professional.

Why have we been tolerating TPN for 8 years now?

Simply because TPN's suicidal tackling tendancies made him look spectacular, irrespective of quite a few shitty throws.
Ever since the new concussion laws were introduced it is interesting that Taf rarely goes down NOW, whereas it was a few times a game, prior to those laws being introduced.

TPN's bad throwing still wasn't as bad. It was a bit wobbly and was a risk of not-straight throws but the execution was never the level of Chibba's one bad throw per game.

Re: TPN. Since we waited ~7 years for TPN to fix aspects of his game, I daresay Hanson has 4 years left to fix his wobbly throws.
Nobody is arguing that Phipps can't pass. It's just he's spent so much time around Sydney that his passing resembles the Harbor Bridge.

TPN has played 27 tests in the years 2010 to present. So I know your definition of "fixed", how many tests with more than one howler throw (i'm gonna give him one per test to keep it interesting) is he permitted to have whilst still constituting "fixed"?

You're one of those "Quade can't tackle" and "Phipps Can't pass" kind of people, aren't you?
In fact, while we're at it, Rob Horne shouldn't be in the team because he only runs straight and can't pass, and pat McCabe is a hopeless inside centre.

Who gives a shit about Super Rugby?
He's also quite capable of throwing the ball straight but short or long. Just because the ball went straight doesn't mean it up to the requisite standard.
Trying to use facts to construct an argument mate. You should try it some time. Just easier to find throwing stats for Super Rugby than for test matches. Also the longer season gives a larger statistical sample, which of course proves his throwing is fine.

I've asked a simple question about what you consider acceptable at test level and you've chosen not to answer it. I don't care if he has a perfect record playing Super Rugby. Or if he has a perfect record in the NRC, playing Shute Shield or in the backyard, for that matter. If he has a material number of errors for the Wallabies I'd consider that more important. This thread is about the Wallabies, as it happens.He has played 50 tests FFS, it's not like one can't draw valid inferences from samples of that size.
Oh yeah that's right, I'm ducking and weaving with my use of stats, hey.
It was a stupid question, that's why I didn't answer it. No howlers are 'acceptable', just like no knock-ons are 'acceptable'. Of course these guys are going to make mistakes every once in a while, that's rugby.
TPN's throwing has been fine for years now, at all levels of footy. The Super Rugby stats are totally valid, it isn't like your throwing is affected by the level of rugby you are playing.
I'd like to see some stats to back up your opinion, but I feel I may be waiting a while to see them.
