The main beef I have with the Tahs has more to do with those on the fringes, although some players deserve a pasting. 1. The management that have pampered these guys for years. 2. The Sydney media that year in, year out bore us in January with the 10 reasons why this years Waratahs are different to...

Yep. How good are they. :lol: What's so funny about it? They've been shit for a long time. In fact they've only been good in about 5 of the last 28 years. If you have one fault, CI - and sadly, you have - it's your overwhelming generosity of spirit. Five games in 28 years would have been closer to ...

Its possible to be MVP and only be second best Welsh. One is about being the best poster. The other is the most incestious!

He is doing well and good luck to him but he still has a long way to go

I meant he's on the Chiefs social media feeds. That's a start. Next stop, Taylor!

Mate…. 2. Sa’a Fainga’a was a scrumming liability. Tom Horton has him covered. I don’t think he’d make the bench of many SR teams. 4. Simmons would be behind 10+ current locks. 6. Higgers struggled at test level. Swinton would eat him alive. 8. Samo over Bobby V and Wilson? Langi Gleeson has him co...

This is how far Oz rugby has fallen.

Previously, the 10s
Ella
Lynagh
Larkham
Cooper

Throw in Knox, Howard, Kafer, Flatley, Giteau, Foley, Beale.
Lesser extent - Toomua, Barnes, Lilo etc

Now, Gordon, Donaldson, Lynagh, Lolesio, Edmed.

It's such a drop.

Absolute nonsense.
Were you the one saying you hadn’t seen a better defending flyhalf?
No, you just made that shit up. I said he's one of the best tackling flyhalves I've seen. I didn't say he was better than Wilkinson.

But you don't pick 10s on theur defence

CrazyIslander

The question is, how does a player like Gordon make it to test level with shit kicking? I've watched junior 10s comfortably have the ball on a string at 50m+ distance.

I think they've picked him on his running game and he probably outgunned his opponents through sheer strength and power.

I doubt it. They haven't got the defence and the accuracy to beat top teams.

They don't need to beat teams. There are enough SR teams out there capable of self destruction in a game. Rebels only need to keep their nerve.

CrazyIslander

You can of course improve. Cooper become a much better player with experience. Cooper is a natural 10 and he improved but he had the essential skills already. I think Gordon's inaccuracies comes from the fact he's at his limit distance wise. It's not a good weakness to have as a 10. Cooper early in...

Ma’a Nonu continued to add layers to his game over his whole career. Couldn’t pass with his left hand when he started. Dumb comment. Not a 10, you cannot become a 10 later in your career.

Another shit kick

Came from a Gordon kick that didn't go out

CrazyIslander

Game full of errors. I expected Tahs to be better. Only highlight was Gordon's try saving tackle. I have seen him make so many try saving tackles. He's one of the best tackling flyhalves I've ever seen. If his kicking was better he'd be a world class flyhalf. Yes. His defence is impressive, his kic...

About 10kg heavier than Ardie Savea...

But more importantly the guy is in his breakout professional year.

The saffas will eat him for breakfast.

Savea wss quick and I doubt that he's that light.
