His boot isn't as big as Donno, but you're right it's more accurate and he is better defensively (but he's always getting his head on the wrong side which is a huge issue)
Athleticism is a big part of the modern day flyhalf. And I disagree, a flyhalf cant just be a passenger
I hope Tom proves to be a great one

Yeah this fascination with hyper physical trainings defies logic. Rennie had the same issue too

Valetini missed the first month of SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) with... a calf injury.

The Lynagh name has a bit of pull! Young Tommy is not a patch on his Dad at the same age.

Cohesion is usually the reason Lions opponents beat them

You're calling that for a polemic? Seems silly.
At any rate I wish all of them the absolute best and look forward to the game.

Tend to think it's an abundance of talent through the 23 and match fitness as well.

Cheers, that's why I couldn't find the original story...
No, Brumbies' pre-season training.

I look at that 23 and I see a very specific game plan. Certainly not up the guts. A decisive method to move the ball quickly and rack up rucks for long periods of possession. I didn’t think that worked altogether too well for the Super sides who seemed to gain most metres around the corners, surprising me massively given the opposition.
In saying that, I would think we are about to take a few risks given the selection of Lynagh and that back three which I do find warranted.

yeah Tom is primarily used as a jumper and decent pilferer. He pilfered way more balls than the other 3, hit rucks better but tackles slightly worse and is ineffective with ball in hand in comparison.
Yeah look we had a big flyhalf in Carter Gordon but he got scrutinised for his goal kicking and game management. And Pasitoa hasn’t worked out. We are probably never gonna find a Barrett, who can do it all. Just gotta work with the 10s we got and coming through. They’re all the same mold annoyingly.

That's what I'm saying. There is no strong ball carriers in the starting XV and you are playing against a too physical team

This is where I disagree and why I'm a fan of Donaldson. As a ball player and attacking threat he has what the others don't. He has the ability to step anyone and break away for a long range try, you can't teach that. And it's something no other 10 in Australia has
In my opinion that's the kind of 10 Australia needs. I find is asinine that we try and play this kick heavy northern hemisphere game when our strength (and instinct) clearly lies in our outside backs with the ball in their hand
