far too often i see slipper popping up in the outside backs slowing the play down> at least alexanders runs are in tight and generally not more than one or two out from the ruck drives me insane watching slipper take the ball on the wing in slow motion

it also leads to the situation we find ourselves in where we are picking our 6 because our 4 cant do his job and we are picking our 4 because our 1&3 cant do their job<> its simply not going to work

personally i feel robinson is a far superior scrumager to slipper however i understand your rational and it is why i believe we continue to persist with our current front row one thing i feel people underestimate however is the attitude of every other nation playing rugby that picks their front...

the major issue for me is that this ploy of 'slightly inferior in the scrum to gain someone better around the park' has failed repeatedly for the last decade and has gained us a reputation for being so poor in the scrum that if refs are unsure they just assume we are the weaker scrum. and its...

i think its 1am (channel 10 coverage starts at 12:300 but im sure ive seen somewhere say 1:45am start advertised somewhere edit>> aru website says 1am

ahh touche' bruce happy to be corrected but id like to hear your opinion on if you thought the fan forum was a success? and if you think this type of fan involvement and subsequent widespread media coverage of how hopeless and disconnected they were to their fan base is a good thing? you live in...

oh come on mate that fan forum was a bloody disaster on almost any level imaginable- your drawing a long bow if your gunna link the tahs recent turn around to the fan forum- it was 2011 wasnt it? the single person responsible for the tahs turn around is cheika 2013 and the main issue was the...

ok i think the lines have been blurred a bit here> in terms of engaging with the fans, like what hes done while at the reds through social media - im all for it i take issue with the idea of him justifying his position/decisions or including fans in the decision making process ie. the waratahs...

i was simply trying to point out to you that engaging the public in decision making is a fucking hopeless idea and just as stupid as a person in power justifying his position or decision making to people below him you really dont seem to understand this basic management principle and the...

your totally missing the point but in short ill ad that i too would like some explanations but also understand the importance of why the coach of the national team isnt going to justify his decisions to me or anyone whos not the pulverisor

engaging the supporter base in the decision making process is just about the worst possible thing to do> ask the tahs how well the fan forum worked out for them mckenzie is best served by ignoring faults (in public) and showcasing our strengths> giving the perception of being bullet proof even...

i totally agree that id like explanations on a lot of things too but you gotta be realistic- hes in a position of power and the moment he starts justifying his decisions to average joe it brings him down to average joes level people wont repect him and he loses all his authority think about the...

i can honestly see the logic (even though i dont agree with all of it, for example picking backrows to cover second row deficiencies who are picked to cover front row deficiencies) in almost all his decisions except the front row the worst thing is sooner or later we are going to fluke a good...

mowen@8- we need him in the team for the lineout to cover timani who cant jump whos covering the props who cant push (makes sense huh) simmons@6- see above and while we have him and mowen playing this is the best way to fit them in cummins>tomane- superior defense and considering the amount of...
