Speculation or Credible source?

Yep, they seem to be winning based on courage and passion, not rugby smarts. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with how they've gutsed it out, but they need to get a better formation in attack or we'll constantly struggle to beat the good teams.
With that said, I think our forward play in the loose has generally improved over the season.

That was our best performance of the year, better forward play. A try from a set piece. Hail deans.
Would suggest that Nuci get involved again in the coaches box though.

Bitter pill to swallow, but like when you try to worm a dog you wrap the tablet in a meat treat. The meat treat for Wallabies fans is that Nucifora doesn't get his paws on the job.
Best and only way to get Link in now is for JON and Dingo to go in one hit.

So we're going to be the first team since the 1997 South Africans to lose the Lions tour. Ouch.
Speculation - 2nd in the TRC and World Rankings to a team that is simply invincible (according to 'accepted wisdom') with a billion injuries that are no-one's fault - now's not the right time to change, too much destabilisation - yadda yadda yadda

The Lions have toured Australia eight times.
And won seven.
Winning 15 of the 20 Tests.

For a guy "fighting" for his job, you think he could have shown some form of excitement when we finally scored off a set piece? Perhaps the Beta-Blockers when in full swing by the 60-70th minute?
Nah, it assumes that the Lions will be cohesive enough and good enough playing the bash rugby of Gatland.

Yep. Like it or not, the Puma's made sure RD will be the guy for the EOYT and Lions.
I suggest we put this thread on ice until the end of 2013.

Our standards have fallen off a cliff when a scrappy victory over Argentina is enough to save the coach's bacon.
Never thought I'd long for the Greg Smith era.

They haven't always saved a shit coach's bacon, however.
Quade did that, after his comments, Deans was guaranteed to finish his contract.

Buggered if I know.
We dont want Nucifora even on an interim basis and that may be all that's on offer.
I think he's safe.

We had a win, we still have a few tests to go this year. I have not given up hope that the whole thing gets fixed yet. I heard Deans on Triple M this morning. He came across really well; articulate, knowledgable, humorous and humble - like he did when the Welsh were here. I wondered to myself that their seemed to be 2 Deans's, this fellow and the other confused one. For whatever reason, I really don't think we have seen the best of what he can do.

Is he waiting for a fucking green light from someone? It's been 5 years. I think it safe to say he can start to show us now, please!
