Oh NO Sully - that was all Beale!
I mean, when has Foley even looked remotely like Larkham? LARKHAM was World Class. Did it all himself. Well him and that Gregan guy... oh and I see some old bloke called Horan played a bit at 12 during that period. And some other jokers called Herbert, Roff, Tune.
And does anyone remember if a "Matt Burke" was any good as a fullback? Says here he has nearly 900 Test points, but I find that hard to believe if Larkham was out there at the same time.
Larkham had to drag
these losers kicking and screaming to a RWC title, so I guess Foley will just have to make do with being less than "world class".
Give me fucking strength...
I think they're saying that he is not a world class ten, irrespective of his kicking, not that he is a bad player.
Not aimed at you SoJ: but I would love it if
they would define what they mean by this "world class" bullshit. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Its a fucking myth, is the problem. Mostly put forward by people whose own selection was proven to be not better, and often far worse.
Foley's kicking game: added 15 metres distance to his general field kicking compared to start of the year. Could be better, sure.
Foley's goal kicking: improved out of sight. Consistency is the key of course, but even "world class" players like Carter miss the odd one.
Foley's passing: short passing game currently has no peer in Australia in terms of execution and work under pressure at the line. Long passing game is not often examined because he does most of his work in traffic. If you'll turn your attention to the screens now:
So
they can probably all ram that "world class" shit up to the third knuckle in their petulant arses. It might at least stop them speaking, or muffle it to a suitable level.
