The impending Hooper vs Pocock Dilemma

[liquor box]

gill is great -















for handing out oranges at half time

He probably pilfered them from Hooper without too much effort

Hooper doesn't like oranges. Sea gulls prefer hot chips.

Can anyone tell me why, after 16 pages, I'm still reading this thread? After a fair amount of introspection I can't fucking figure it out. Utterly pointless.

Could we maybe add a poll at the top.

Who should be Australia's starting number 7 at the world cup:-

a) Hooper - his running game makes poey look like he has no legs.
b) Pocock - he's like 5 Hoopers on defence.
c) Liam Gill - he's well rounded, but more importantly, he's from Queensland
d) Anyone else - options a) to c) all slept with my sister

^^^ You missed option e @BDA.

a) Hooper - his running game makes poey look like he has no legs.
b) Pocock - he's like 5 Hoopers on defence.
c) Liam Gill - he's well rounded, but more importantly, he's from Queensland
d) Anyone else - options a) to c) all slept with my sister
e) If d) is selected, please nominate which of the candidates your sister believes is more suited to the job.

This is the most constructive thing anyone has posted on this issue! And still we are no closer to a solution!

Is BDA's sister interested in the rugby?

To be fair, Gill's probably slipped down to 5th, maybe 6th in the pecking order............

And unless there's a couple of injuries, he won't be at the World Cup.

To be fair no one in QLD believes that...

Behind Hooper & Pocock, i still think Gill is up there. I think Hodgson had a blinder of a year. Would want to see that replicated before i went banking on him for another year. Would have Gill in a dogfight with Hodgson for the 3 spot. Think he is ahead of Fuglistaler and Colby as a 7.

No doubt.........

After Pocock, Hooper and Hodgson I think McMahon and Butler are currently better options............

Obviously Gill can still play himself back into contention.

 

[Hans]

McMahon isn't a 7 for me, he is a long term 6 i think and Butler just doesn't do it for me. He is solid without being great. I think Gill has more class moments than butler.

 

[Hans]

A disclaimer to the above, i think Hooper and Pocock (old pocock) are such a class above, we will need one if not both firing to have any chance at the RWC, don't think any of our other prospective 7's are at that level, or to be honest anywhere near that level of impact on a game.

 

[Slim 293]

McMahon doesn't have the size for a test 6..............

He could fill in there, but he's probably more of a 7/6 backup if he's going to make the squad.

As for Butler, I never thought I'd consider him but he's in great form.

 

[TOCC]

I don't see McMahon or Butler are 7's.... Sure they can play there but it's not suited to the strengths and weaknesses of their game.

Maybe we should rename this thread The Impending Pocock v Butler Battle for the Wallaby 7 Jersey.

Hooper seems lucky to still be in the top 3.

I like it...............

But I think for it to have any legitimacy it should be The Impending Pocock v Butler v Doyle Battle for the Wallaby 7 Jersey, injuries permitting.........

That would make Hooper 4th, but I'm sure Tuggeranong Vikings also have one or two guys that might be smokies so we'll have to reevaluate after the John I Dent Cup concludes.

Is this the new thing for Tahs fans, the self depreciating fan? I thought the Force fans had laid claim to that?

I think they're more fixated on being neglected by the east coast press?
