Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
I don’t see why this remotely controversial. It’s almost certainly true. It may well be true for some union teams, but I don't see any reason this should be the case. These are professional players, I can't believe there's not enough time in the day for them to get their basic skills right, and sti...

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
And I think Tate* Lolesio is more likely as the halves pairing than Lonergan Carter* * I’m using their first names because when I was 10 years old I used to get bullied by a kid named McDermott, and have hated the name ever since, and whenever I hear the words half and Gordon used in combination I h...

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
Based on this weekends results, should we, instead of paying over the top amounts of money to poach mungo wingers, instead start just recruiting from the sevens team? Has there ever been a sevens player who hasn't made a top transition to 15s?

Re: SRP Rd 8 - Rebels v Highlanders
Great performance mostly from the Rebs. Lancaster will be up for higher honours sooner rather than later. Seems like a faster version of Kellaway. Not a bad call but Kellaway is probably the smartest and most reliable rugby back in the country. I wouldn't say that was a great performance. It was de...

Re: SRP Rd 8 - Rebels v Highlanders
Pass to Kemeny was fine. Gordon is so good in attack, reminds me so much of Larkham. If his kicking was half decent, he'd get a lot of test caps. I'm in team Gordan-12. No way he can play 10 with his boot. But he has all the attributes of a great 2nd 10. His brain is the problem. He does struggle a...

Didn't see any knock ons. And I was surprised the ref didn't immediately ask about the penalty try, it was anything but borderline.

Hitting the neighbours dartboard, not even close to the wall.
Great play from the Rebels. Lancaster seems like the real deal. And how does Gordan keep hitting them from the sidelines but can't from straight in front.

American here, What are gun laws? Absolutely none allowed unless hunting Nah, not at all. It's pretty easy to get a gun if you want to in Australia. My mates has a bunch of them in a safe. Yeah Despite what the NRA in ‘murica might say you can have a firearm in Oz. We just have sensible gun laws.

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
Lonergan isn’t the best kicker in his club team. 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? If your oeuv...

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
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.
