Wallabies vs Wales - Suncorp Stadium June 9

[biggsy]

Well I'm not surprised that Deans doesn't let him use his flare. If it's as big as you say it is and Cooper lets it off during the game, he'll probably blow the stadium up. Oh.. you mean 'flair'.

Cheers mate, you must be new to reading my post.... Proof reading is not my thing as most would no (is that the right no/know) fuck im confused

I just watched a youtube clip on Sam Warburton and I was wondering how some of those rucks could be legal.
On his feet?
Releasing the tackled player?
Really?

Bullshit. Turner proved himself last year as the 3rd best winger during the EOYT. He is nothing like Davies, in fact he's the opposite. Someone with all the skills but lacks the athleticism of most wingers going around now. He's a very solid player that won't let you down but can still find the try line.

He has had one good EOYT and one good game for the Tah's (Finals V Crussaders). In between those periods of playing well, there has been a lot of mediocrity and one dimensional attack... By that I mean he is very fast but struggles to break a tackle. All of his tries are scoring in the corner when he has had an overlap and no-one to beat. I can't remember a try where he had to beat a man with anything but pace.

Show me footage of a try or two where he breaks a tackle outside the discussed brief periods of performance and I will happily eat my words.

He's not really a tackle-breaking kind of player though. His first instinct is to skin players on the outside and he's extremely good at it, but a combination of close marking, poor coaching and a loss of confidence have inhibited that. He's also exceptional in the air: he's scored a lot of tries by taking it out opponent's hands, including his superb effort in the aforementioned Super 14 final where he took it out of Dan Carter's hands from behind. What he needs is a big dose of attacking intention, not an attack of the bosh.

He is also very good on defence.

Maybe a one-dimensional is over the top here, apologies to the Turner fans I have offended. However, I think when you get to the top-flight (international) level of the game, speed isn't enough. If the Wallabies want to be a top team, their wingers need more than what Lachie offers in this position with this speed and I therefore don't like him at this level. You need someone that one-on-one can break that tackle and create something from nothing not capitalise on a defensive error. The game is too professional for that and those glaring defensive errors are too irregular these days to be relied upon...

Until Lachie can develop those skills i don't like him in the green and gold...

He's s quality 7, just like Pocock, McCaw, Brussow etc. Every single one of them spends most of the game breaking the law and the better they are the more they seem to get away with it. Lol.

The problem for Dean is that it appears that it is just fifteen pieces of flair, which is apparently the bare minimum.

What do you think of someone who just does the bare minimum?

edit: 15, not 27, is apparently the bare minimum of flair.

Not offended Joe Mac. Turner hasn't lived up to his schoolboy and first season potential.

Here we go again....QC (Quade Cooper) and partner-in-crime KB (Kurtley Beale) involved in an incident, trying to get into Victory Hotel Bris Vegas whilst intoxicated early this morning...punches were thrown...where have I heard this before? BTW on a positive note, Wobs by at least 6 poiints tomorrow! Will be wearing my lucky red (Reds) jocks!!

 

[Mr Doug]

"Captain Pocock" knows nothing of QC (Quade Cooper)/KB (Kurtley Beale) incident, just interviewed on 10 news!

 

[Mr Doug]

QC (Quade Cooper) and KB (Kurtley Beale) currently being interviewed by ARU, re latest incident! Will we loose a couple of contracted players, as "the look" is not good?!

 

[JJJ]

Way to take one for the team, QC (Quade Cooper) and KB (Kurtley Beale). Shift the focus away from the loss.

 

[Set piece magic]

Media beatup, this shits me off. They got involved in a little tiffie outside a bar and got evicted. So fuckin what.

The only people that required calling where the pc brigade, and they deployed the riot squad straight after they withdrew it from the darcy incident.

Honestly, I don't care if you have a photo of yourself holding a gun. Why some people do is astonishing. It's very tempting to start the anti-pc brigade atm

 

[FANATIC]

Who cares what Wallabies players are doing in bars, it is what is going to happen on ground with Wales that is the real concern.
Anti-pc/nanny/softcock brigade for me; and darcy looked kool with guns, let them have their fun ffs.

 

[Ash]

Wrong thread. Meh.

 

[Jiggles]

Walking along past the Vic once, I saw a Lady (looking a tad intoxicated mind you) attack a gentleman with a shoe. Its that sort of place.

 

[Mr Doug]

Sorry team, only just discovered fatprops "QC (Quade Cooper)/KB (Kurtley Beale)" thread, will leave this thread to those players of whom we can be proud!

It does highlight how Aus rugby's stocks have improved. 5th choice - Barnes, not too bad really

Why is Barnes 5th choice? Coioper has played S15 rugby, got through a game and a half, so if he was higher up the ladder than Barnes he would of been picked. I still can't believe Cooper wasn't played against Scotland to give him game time, unless Deans doesn't rate him.
