Thanks - I take it he is playing in France then. How long is his contract? Sorry if this is generally well understood info.

BTW, what is the latest on Petaia?

Hell yes.

Sef has become a very definition of the term "journeyman". We should be clear though, the guy gives the term a fantastic reputation. All the best Sef.

Thought I might speak up here. Whatever the previous history with Edmed, right now on the basis of a single test, I think we aught be a little conciliatory. Absolutely things were hopeless to and from 10. But the gameplan drove most of it. Often when the ball got to 10 it was in a mass of D. The...

I'd at least think about connecting those two thoughts. Not ideal but I reckon I'd be testing it in training. Short of an opposition high ball game that targets Jorgo he is not going to get anymore ball if he stays in slot on the open-side wing. Not without shifts in gameplay (involving...

Depending on what "a long time" means. At the same time, it seems to me that our current gameplan is to presume there is NO playmaker and the half will drive the game. For me that is a limitation in coaching imagination, not (simply) a limitation in the quality of available halves.

I seem to be doing something wrong. When I ask if Europe has missed the fact that we play from #9, and your answer is as above. I just feel there is tautology playing here. So to be mind-blowingly clear:... The WBs are completely missing any elements of a game plan intended to bring in the...

We have a game plan that is 100% rocks. The issue is not the 10 that we have, it is the game plan they are put into.

Yeah, it's not who. It's HOW. And our how for now plays everything from 9. Do you think any European opposition has missed it?

Potter Tupou McReight All fabulous. In fact I actually thought the team pretty good. But we are playing a 9 1/2 game which seriously shows. Edmed did fine in that environment, taking some high ball early and some other things. Right now though, I'd give my left testicle for Quade or Foley or...

One bloke says he did. The other says he didn't. Does that meet "on the balance of probability"? Seems short to me though I'm no lawyer.

+1

You don't actually know that. After the Japan game, I would have thought a little organisation and connection through the back-line might be something we might be thinking about here. Not that I disagree with your assessment on either D or the high ball.
