So what was the point of the post? Stir up the "too many brumbies" fans? Surely none of us here have "an evil mind" that are contemplating that McKellar is plotting a coup by throwing the games?

John S and Tomikin etc. Guys, it was a metaphor NOT an implication. I am surprised by your sensitive natures.

Nah, but could soon be. Apparently Rennie has won 3 from 12 matches in succession while Cheika had a period of 3 from 13. A loss to Ireland will be the equal low point while it would be worse with a loss to Wales as well.

BR interesting. I only looked at the averages and not the 'run'.

This level of sensitivity is not good. Oxford has this for your education....A figure of speech in which a name or descriptive word or phrase is transferred to an object or action different from, but analogous to, that to which it is literally applicable; an instance of this, a metaphorical expression. L15.

Article today suggests Mark N (Nawaqanitawase) (Nawaqanitawase) and Foley to start will be among main changes.

This a great test for the young guy but he appears to be putting it all together and being big and fast it could be an interesting clash if he is against Mack Hansen.

Yes, that's the Oxford definition... I'm not sure how it applies to your post?

Did you say the lineouts were your stats? Lineout stats (both published by ESPN and even displayed live during games) only really show which team ended up in posession, with no indicator of quality of ball etc (e.g a slapdown that the halfback dives on counts the same as clean ball won at 6 and delivered off the top to the 9). With that said I still can't believe that Folau has been as accurate as Porecki, do you have a link if they were from online?

If you're right than it must be a perception thing driven by Folau missing key throws on attack. I also disagree that the lift/call was clearly at fault with a couple of his recent misses, there were a couple of big overthrows on the weekend (one may have been Lonergan).

So, as I understand it then, a descriptive word or phrase (evil mind) was transferred to an object (Dan Mackellar) to be analogous to what? Are you suggesting Mackellar is or is analogous to the devil (or Hitler, or Trump etc - select any example of literally an evil mind)? I am confused.

BR. dittto my previous post. If you insist on continuing this, what is the conversation envelope at the top for - one on one discussions?

I wonder if Campbell is suffering the effects of concussion after his head knock last week, and Banks still not fit from his ankle injury. If that's the case, then probably Kellaway to 15.

Banks has been sent home.. Im guessing Campbell's injured still and Kellaway's going to be 15.

I’m a nerd coach who codes games out if interest and for my own coaching manual. ESPN breaks down individual stats to lineouts won. I go through the match and watch the lineouts to see where we win how we win and if we lose it why.
I apologise but I wasn’t blaming the jumper/lifter. More commenting that it is a 3 part process and if one part is out it is all out. Timings of the trigger lift jump and throw need to be perfect. Especially at this level when it is a throw catch in most instances from halfway and back in the lineout. The overthrow on the weekend came from timing. Hanigan was up and down before the ball was there. From the vision it’s hard to tell who has missed the trigger. Could be the jumper and lifter going early or the thrower being late. We don’t know the trigger so can’t apportion blame fairly.

Not too many surprises in the starting 15 but really disappointing to see Gordon on the bench after his stupid yellow last week (I thought we were dropping people for poor discipline)

Big impact from the bench with Tupou and Skelton, hopefully Noah gets some actual time given he will be starting next week.

Would have liked to see Hodge over Petaia
