Headless Chickens / Disgrace to Australia

[naza]

Naza

You have basically said the aus side is shit, who would you replace them with?

A hooker, THP, a 6, another backrower, the halves, the back three and a reserve back.

Just who would you replace them with?

Hooker - Stephen Moore - the magnificent, the world's best hooker and possibly the best tight forward on the planet.
THP - I would invite every tighthead in Australia to a weekend in the outback and test their limits with fighting and drinking, then pick the last men standing.
Blindside - Dean Mumm. Its time.
Another backrower - we have plenty of good ones at Easts.
Halves - Burgess and Lucas
Back 3 - Ratu, Mitchell, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)
RB - 10/12 cover would be Fairbanks

Hmmm, let's see.
Moore is easily the 1st player chosen in the Aus side. You fail.
THP. The only alternates (Shep, Blake, Edwards) are injured/unfit. Dunning and Baxter ? You can't polish a turd. Australia says ENOUGH to the stench of failure emanating from these two. You know I'm right.
Blindside is easy. Mumm is a great athlete, the kind of tough, hard working grafter we need. This failure now qualifies as epic.
Burgess may be a work in progress but is the most talented halfback we have. You fail again.
Lucas is the answer to our flyhalf horrors. We badly need structure and clinical play at flyhalf. Giteau is an embarassment and nothing on Larkham. You need to put your anti-Queensland prejudice aside.
My back 3 is fantastic. Its hip, its funky, its balanced, its strong now but keeps an eye to the future. You may shake your head at my sheer audacity but deep down inside, this is the back 3 you really want to see for the Wallabies.
I don't know why you insisted on a reserve back and reserve backrower..can't remember bagging out out reserves too much. Get specific and I might name names.

Another backrower - we have plenty of good ones at Easts also completely untried at Test level but incapable of getting a S14 contract with anyone including the Brumbies who can spot talent up a fly's arse from the next continent. So says the rubber chicken. BAKAWK!

Thankyou Captain Ahab.

Except for Richard Stanford, capped by the Brumbies.
Oh, and except for Ed Brenac, who has graced the Brumbies academy and Oz 7s squad.

Your cluelessness continues to astound.

So we put in someone else who will surely fail more, crippling their career after just one test? Even the alternatives you mentioned are shithouse. The scrum has been largely solid with Baxter at THP, so I say lets be content with mediocrity, as opposd to taking a risk and becoming truly abominable.

Lucas is the answer to our flyhalf horrors. We badly need structure and clinical play at flyhalf. Giteau is an embarassment and nothing on Larkham. You need to put your anti-Queensland prejudice aside.

So throwing in the 2nd string Reds halfback will do the job, providing us with the structure we so sorely need? Again, you risk ruining his career before it has started. Giteau is average, and will do until Beale/Cooper/Lealiifano puts his hand up.

My back 3 is fantastic. Its hip, its funky, its balanced, its strong now but keeps an eye to the future. You may shake your head at my sheer audacity but deep down inside, this is the back 3 you really want to see for the Wallabies.

Ratu? You have to be kidding. Replace a flaky and unreliable Fijian with an inexperienced, flaky, unreliable Fijian? Hynes will do for now. You need to put your anti-Queensland prejudice aside, naz.

Ben Lucas is NOT a halfback. He got thrown into covering the spot this season (because the Reds are amateur hour morons). That a Super rugby debutant could cover a difficult specialist position completely foreign to him merely demonstrates his abundant talent.

Again, the scrum is more than just about the bloody props. My multi-dimensional plan would include a slow painful death for Nathan Sharpe in front of the other forwards to demonstrate what happens to seagulling bludgers. We've been over the scrum school stuff ad nauseum. All I say is that the definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing and expect different results. What is being done about the situation ? We are in for another embarassment EOYT time against the Poms - does anyone not expect us to get demolished ?

Ratu will be in Wallaby gold within a year. I'd prefer a humble bloke with speed, power and a knack for scoring tries over an egomaniac showpony whose gift for crabbing sideways and refusing to chase kicks is only matched by his greed for money and off field stupidity. Robbie Deans will too.

Yes, its all his fault too, just like the Wallabies lost because of Palu. :

Merely pointing out he was recognised by more than 1 rep team. But Ed's time has passed anyway.

So who is your back up hooker?
THP - we have no one better.
Ratu is lazy and can't turn.
Burgess is good
Lucas can't get a start at 10 for the Reds
Mumm is obvious, but may end up at lock

I plan on playing Moore for 80 minutes ! Depth is poor, no question.
Agreed on tighthead, we can't even toss Edwards a bone. I want to know what is being done at ARU HQ to remedy the situation.
The only criticisms of Ratu are fairly weak. He's still coming to terms with what's required as a professional. Can't turn ? Neither can Gerrard, Tuqiri. If you're going to go big, go huge. 'Can't turn' is hardly #1 on the list of pre-requisites for a winger.
Lucas..this just goes back to the Reds not knowing what they're doing. Its not that he lacks talent.
Depth at 6, or rather specialist 6s, isn't the best.

Still laughing ?

Ben Lucas only got thrown into a covering spot because he was not good enough to beat both Barnes and Cooper to the starting 10 jersey. So whilst he is the Reds 2nd string halfback, he was their 3rd string 5/8. And you want to put him in gold?

And on the subject of Ratu, he may well pull on a gold shirt eventually- but lets not jump the gun. Many a player has looked good at club and junior level before fizzling out totally, and it seems to happen to islanders more often than others. And how do you know he is humble? He could be a total prick, he just hasn't had much press yet.

Wow. How could I have been so wrong. Please go on to explain how these two players will replace Elsom with their sheer brilliance... If they're ever sighted in any sort of provincial jersey again, that is.

Beware of investing in pissing into the wind - you may not like the returns.
