Eek! When you hover over the URL the link is abbreviated to look like Jono Jenkins suffers long term injury.

I was getting worried that we'd lost another player on the flight home.

I really hope we get some encouraging news out of Elsom, Pakelani and Mitchell in the not so distant future.

Sorry didn't mean to alarm you.

so now the tahs have 2 contracted opensides who play very different games. One is a hard nosed hard tackling ruck clearing type, the other a hard running ball carrying link man type. If I were coach I would be alternating these 2 guys depending on the game plan and opposition. Any money though that Axel will just stick to Alcock starts, Jenkins on the bench, swap at 60 minutes.

It would actually make a fair bit of sense to play them the other way around.

Alcock is far more likely to take advantage of tired defence late in a game. His broken field ball running is surely his biggest attribute.

This week, with Pocock at 7 for the Force I would play Jenkins with Alcock on the bench. We need someone who is on the ball protecting possession from the world's new master poacher.

I vote selections be delayed until 1/2 hour before kickoff just so we know whether anyone tripped getting on or off the bus and has suffered a season ending injury

M foley was quoted in the news tonight saying there would be widespread changes for this weeks game. Who else is there?

 

[Inside Shoulder]

maybe he means in the coaching staff?

 

[Inside Shoulder]

or the medical staff?

 

[Inside Shoulder]

If you're going to this weeks game I suggest you take your boots

It's Sydney, that's a given.

It's Ladies Day this Saturday...and St Patricks day...oh dear...

 

[matty_k]

or the medical staff?

If anyone tries to sack Sharon there would be a mutiny.

 

[ShtinaTina]

Cutch was repaired today...poor guy.

Widespread changes? This is a little concerning, hope they don't take the Force too lightly. There's probably a need to start rotating Mumm, Douglas and Dennis who haven't gone off yet. I thought the injury we sustained was Cutch? Jenkins was very good when he came on so that's encouraging.

I think that's exactly what the tahs need.
Where does Inman fit into the medical staff - don't tell me they have a department of doctors?

I'd rotate Mumm to the Seychelles comp

Widespread changes!

 

[Braveheart81]

Wow! That is plenty of changes. Let's hope those guys can do the job so we don't have to empty our bench too early and/or risk stuffing up a must win game.

Presumably the bench will be Robinson, TPN, Mumm, Douglas, Pretorius, Halangahu, Horne.

Fantastic to see Shmoo back. I have to say I'm surprised. I thought it was still weeks away if at all.

Edit: Is that the actual team or have you just speculated on a team that includes widespread changes?

I think there was a fair degree of wishfull thinking on RSA'a part.....

 

[rugbysmartarse]

the latter of course.

actually a new article today in the herald is saying Foley is resisting widespread changes to show faith in the team.
