timed out twice trying to get 3 x tickets to the Brisbane game with no luck. the only available option was for a single ticket for $478. Hopefully they do the last minute standing tickets like they did last time.
My slight issue with Daugunu is it seems to me like he cuts inside to take on a defender instead of taking the space thats in front of him too often. I thought he was pretty busy though.
I would still want a last ditch attempt to bring him home. He said in the past he only left to try NFL because he had no offers here, and his Family is still here. It does seem like he's made his mind up though
One of our teams could do a lot worse than trying to sign Emmanuel Meafou. Australian born and raised, and in some form for Toulouse. Im sure the French will be looking to cap him sooner rather than later.
I'm Struggling to place where multiple players are in the pecking order. Tualima, Faifua, Tauakipulu all cover the same positions (Maybe Tauakipulu is more a 6/8 instead of of Lock/6) ,but I haven't seen enough of them to know how they compare and how they are developing. Faifua seems to be the...
At this point i think if we signed the greatest coach in the world we would still be average. I no longer believe the coach is the issue. Deans, Mckenzie, Cheik and Rennie are likely all elite, world-class head coaches who have all been silly enough to sign on to the poisoned chalice that is...
Are you able to elaborate? I'm definitely interested to know why locks seem to go to another level in europe in particular. Is there something wrong with how we coach or use 2nd rowers?
Does anyone know the circumstances around Lukhans exit? What I mean by that is was it amicable/is he on good terms with the organisation? His form for Northampton has been pretty remarkable and I would hate to think he wont come back. I am baffled by how regularly our locks go overseas and...
What has happened to Codie Taylor? I feel like only 3 or 4 years ago he was one of the best hookers around. I kept thinking his form would return but it has been a while since he has performed at test level.
If twiggy focused on bringing some of that talent home it would make a huge difference. Get Hoskins or Ainsley back, or both. Matt Philip is close to the best lock in Aus, Hardwick is a very good player. Luke Morahan, Billy Meakes, Curtis Rona, Isi Naisarani, are all still good footy players...
