Coleman needs to bite the bullet and clean the staff out from under him. Whittaker yes a gutsy player but has really added nothing as a coach, Pauli similar, as for the S&C what a disaster over the past 2 years. From a recruitment perspective there is a lot more talent than what is continually...
Would certainly look at Harry Hockings and Opeti Helu, both very physical players, we got sadly found out in the lock position with any form of physicality at the collision, Frost is ok at the lineout and support play, the rest he relies on the tight 5 to do the hard yards. Hockings will give...
At last recollection it was 40 total team points for Colts,100 for 1st grade ,60 points for 2nd grade , looks like Uni had a total of 41 points according to fuse sport. How the points are calculated someone may be able to supply the competition playbook.
Agree it is difficult but 2-3 years of holding tackle pads and hardly any game time hits the confidence of the player, look at young Macauley for example, looking forward to seeing what he can achieve in a different setup. Would have liked to have seen him have a couple of solid years in Shute...
This is also a great article, hits the nail on the head around player development and recruitment.2 years in shute shield should be a minimum, if they are good enough to get a contract at 19 let them prove themselves in a tough week in and week out environment...
His dad Steve is great mates with adrian thompson after running aus schools champs for the ARU. Feel so sad for the boys who busted their butts for the past 6 months only to be replaced by someone who turned their back on their country.
Would definitely replace the locks and 8 with Douglas, Wood, Harris who have done enough, have watched the others for some time and think there are better cattle around who will put in for the whole team (including work at the breakdown). Don't really care if they are contracted players, we need...
Will be great to see Douglas, Kibble & Donaldson all get a good run as rate them highly. Kibble and Mcreight could become the "Pooper "of the junior Wallabies. The lock and 6 positions are really up for grabs with neither of the super rugby contracted players impressing over the past 12 months...
