Waratahs v Rebels RD 6

[waiopehu oldboy]

Let us say, on another forum no Auckland Blues supporter shed a tear on his leaving

Why would they have?

Course, Longbottom I think is out of contract, the ARU could throw Kepus's $$$ at him as long as he signs for the Tahs rather than the Force, much like they did for Foley and the Rebels.

Longbottom just signed with Sale

And good on him.

Seriously, why would any self-respecting prop stick around, when they're more appreciated up north, learn a lot more, and get paid to do it?

Tight five forwards in this country have been shit on for decades in favour of some mystical threat from rugby league to steal our backs, and our lack of respect for the dark arts is the biggest cause.

The root, of course, is an inbred and severely limited age group system that puts helicopter parenting above proper training and an early start.

Have just posted the Round 6 Aussie Ruck Analysis on the main dashboard.

Includes a Head-to-Head for the Tahs v Rebs game and leading Ruck Involvements up to Round 6.

• This team doesn't have a wise old head in the leadership roles: the tactic on Sunday to continually bash the ball up two out was getting nowhere. Surely Hooper, or the brains trust in the stands, should've realised Plan B was called for. The Rebels repelled us with ease, there was a message there for Hooper et al. For the experienced pigs, Robinson, Mumm and Dennis, not to support young Hooper here speaks volumes.

Dave, can you come up with something original and not skim thoughts off my posts: http://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby/w...6/news-story/0478a9a44b7244e151c6cc740de91c0e
