His brain is the problem.
He does struggle at times under pressure, but he plays smart.
Nah his vision and passing is fine under pressure.

He shits the bed multiple times a game. He just did it again then.

CG relieves pressure on the Highlanders by passing like shit.

Larkhamesque, right?

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.
He just had another brain explosion.
What a knock on?

Dropped it in a tackle near his own line - very lucky that advantage wasn’t ruled over.

He’s a flake.

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.

Indeed, wtf. After all, it could be the last anyone at home sees of them.

Huh?

Borderline? Who made the knock-ons?

YC and Penalty Try?

It’s a badly thought through law, right? A kicker has 90 seconds - makes sense. He can take his time and do his best. But does this mean a team has the right to run down the clock? Berry stopped the clock and then had it restart once the fry was awarded. Let’s say this takes a minute or so. The Sade...

towny

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 under...

Kiss needs to sort out a few things: - take the points ffs. Quick taps on full-arm penalties in front of the posts? Choosing the Line out over penalties in the wet? Two games in a row they’ve blown. - rotating Lynagh out for Creighton is insane. Creighton is the worst player I’ve seen at SR level. ...

At the end of the day, a Brumbies fan will bend the WBs out of shape to accomodate another Brumbies player It’s probably treasonous, if you think about it I’m not one to boast about the magnanimity and impartiality that I’m known for; however there are only 3 Reds in Towny’s Wallaby Certainties XV....

I reckon Pietsch is a smokey for Schmidt's squad. Hard worker, high workrate, chases kicks hard, finishes his chances. Sounds like the sort of wingers have been turning out for Ireland. 👍 Not the worst call. He’s very solid, bright and does the simple things very well. Those 7s blokes know how to w...

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...

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.

towny

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...

I just really like him.
