This is a Tah thread, we don't go in for that sort of fashion stuff up here in Sydney mate. More interested in the footy than the glamour.

Noticed there is another Tahs fan forum on November 24, it's good marketing this one, you have to be a member in order to attend.

I dont understand why you think its good marketing - can you explain?
Meanwhile i thought this was very encouraging from Halangahu:
If they all recognise this and they believe maybe there will be something to get enthused about.
Barnes puts the boot in:
Once you're outside the tent you're fair game....

In an article in the Australian on Saturday Alan Gafney said he has embraced the strategy of new Waratahs coach Michael Foley, which is based on attacking kicking.
The article says "Influenced by the Queensland Red's success in Super Rugby last season, the Waratahs will attempt to maintain momentum not by holding on to the ball for long periods, but by employing contestable kicking."
Gafney is quoted as saying "There was this penchant last year for holding on to the ball for long periods and while you were controlling the ball, you were not controlling the game necessarily."
Sounds like we'll see a fair bit of Pretorius box kicking and Barnes kicking in behind opposition back lines.

There was plenty of attacking kicking off quick ball this season, sometimes too much
There was the standard play of attacking the blind and chipping over the top to pressure the 15 (that was OK) and the dumb grubber kicks & cross kicks that were over used.
I think if Barnes can stay healthy we will see more field position work and field goals from static ball. The spin it wide crew will moan, but ensuring the wingers are deeper to protect the sideline shortens the defensive line

Inside shoulder - it's good marketing. Cos in order for you to complain you have to buy a membership.
Fat prop - r u serious you would prefer to see them not talk and not get column inches?

I would prefer to see them do their talking on the field than every year talk about how next season will be better

It's a bit catch 22 though, they need to attract people and play good rugby, one or the other will not do at this point of time.

Full credit to the Tahs for trying new things. In all due respect it comes across as egg before the chicken stuff. Hold the fan forum but here is my suggestion. Hold a fan day with the whole works. Junior coaching clinics, meet the players, autogragh signing and a sausage sizzle. At the end of the day hold the fan forum with all welcome to attend. encourage the purchase of memberships rather than just reward those who do. The biggest problem seems to be the dis-attachment between the organisation and the fanbase. Holding the fan day just before the forum will go a long way to bringing both groups closer and the forum would be far more constructive as a result.
With that said, congratulations to the Tahs for having a go and trying new things.
