That’s a bit disingenuous. Lolesio is kicking about 100% this year. Lonergan would be the second best kicker in Oz rugby. Sure mate. I bet there’s some real analysis behind that statement…… how often have you actually seen Lonergan kick? Last year he kicked 7 penalties and 14 conversions. That’s no...

I’m just watching the Stan mini game. Saders score their last try with 78:32 on the clock buy the clock doesn’t stop. Berry asked the TMO when the fry was scored. They take the kick at 80:01, which is obviously more than 60 seconds, right? As the ref is the sole judge of time, and it seems he unders...

Which means deep down in his soul Berry hates the Tahs.

Imo Nic Berry is one of the best refs in the world atm. I don’t think we realise how high the standard of refereeing is in SR, with the notable exceptions of Damon Murphy and the director of the the games on SkyNZ.

Anyway, I'm sure proud former Waratah Nick Berry's bizarre 81st minute intervention earned him a few free beers at the post game function from his 2014 teammates. That would be quite the achievement, since Berry never played for the Waratahs Bitter pill to swallow, for you, I’m sure. :( My bad. I t...

:lol: Anyone who watched the NRC likely saw Lonergan nailing kicks from all over the ground… Well, you have me there. Along with 99% of the rest of Australian rugby fans, I didn’t watch the ACT team in the NRC because it sucked. Yeah, nah… most of us did. Just you and some RM Williams types in Sydn...

The worst are SMH/other media rugby trolls desperately trying to denigrate the Tahs win. They have even trolled an article about the sale of TG Miller field, Eastwood rugby club being sold off to developers as a good result to eradicate an "elite" sport. Rugby wasn't even mentioned in the article. ...

Lonergan if we have a non-kicking 10 and 15. Fines should be reserve 9 because he is very good against tired legs. Lonergan isn’t the best kicker in his club team. That’s a bit disingenuous.

The way I see it a lot of positions are wide open and only following are certain: 1. Bell (if fit) 2. Faessler 3. Alaalatoa 4. Frost 5. ? 6. 7. McReight 8. Valetini (or maybe 6) 9. ? 10. ? Kellaway on the wing or at fullback Of your certainties, Bell is out and AAA hasn’t played a game in 10 months...

I thought they cut that route in 2014.

Harrison Goddard is in great form but I don’t know if he’s a genuine contender.

Agree. But I think he will go conservative vs Wales which would be Lolesio. Yeah. The conservative route is White/Lolesio. I’ve outgrown my man-love of White. He is a brilliant playmaker. But in the process he takes the actual play maker out of the picture. Time to move on. I’m in camp-Tate now. I’...

We'd won the game. We were ahead and the ref explicitly said we could run the clock down til full time.

How do you conspire to lose from that position?

Rivez Reihana, what the f*ck?

Congrats Tahs, never gave up and never made it easy.

Good man.

OK. So we’ve got Lolesio in the squad, then

Anyone else?
Two of Quade, Foley, Harrison, Donaldon and CG.
Any brumbies?
Surely we can find a 12 year old prodigy fromYass to fill the obvious gap

Yass? Poach!!!!!

towny

Will Harrison has played about 36 minutes of rugby in the past two years, and he is now our future saviour? We’ve lots of promising youngsters. Until then, it’s probably Lolesio to man the holds. OK. So we’ve got Lolesio in the squad, then Anyone else? Two of Quade, Foley, Harrison, Donaldon and CG.

I thought both Salami and Foketti were good tonight, which is a relief considering we are weak at 12 without Kerevi.b Kerevi not expected to be in Wallabies this year? Mind you he was poor last year so maybe he's past his best. He’s just turned 30, which is 22 in Fijian years. Last year he was just...

TranceNRG wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2024 1:18 pm I wasn't thinking Gordon but I think it's way too early to pick Harrison to start. Let him have a few more games. If he plays like rest of the year, sure he should be in the squad.

I just really like him.

Tate was so dumb. I don’t rate him as a captain anyway. I wasn't expecting that from Tate. He's not normally a dirty player is he? It’s possible that the oppo player had it coming and that Tate wasn’t looking when his arm accidentally struck the other man, and that he didn’t mean it, and that worse...

22. Lolesio

Is that what we’re saying?

Yes. I’m that new bloke that replaced Drew.

2 consecutive knee injuries, and BAD knee injuries at that. And he does that shit?

He’s made of rare stuff.

They're celebrating like they have won Super Rugby in the aftermath on Stan right now. Zero self awareness given their lowly position on the table. Just elated to beat the Crusaders I guess.

Absolutely. I wasn't sure if the kick off was mandatory but if it wasn't, the Saders shat the bed there. One of many shits. The Tahs are f**king aweful, but the crusaders are worse.
