Bunch of slackers

Javelin throwers for QB. I would unashamedly love QC (Quade Cooper) for Aus QB but only because I admire him so much. Is he even any good to be anointed so early.

Interesting point. We certainly don’t need size for flag and any rugby or league player is held back by this. They may look fast on the rugby field and they are fast but not compared to a skinny guys with hops. TRL, Ultimate Frisby, maybe even beach volleyball would be where I would look for...

That would be a pretty good result if attainable really. However, my understanding was that Schmidt didn’t want to keep on going. The alternative that article alludes to is Lancaster as interim which I think would be an awful result. No continuity between the two most important Wallaby events...

Did they mention that Ryan was ‘looking for the ground’…

I’d be really, really happy if we could keep 2 out of the 3 bolded and shocked if we can keep 5 of those players. There’s such a confluence of factors discussed in the exodus thread that makes me nervous.

Jeez that number of 2025s makes me worried if we also lose a coach. Next guy is going to have to rebuild. Green shoots with some players coming through though.

I guess it all depends on price. If he can be re-signed for peanuts I think it would be negligent not to given he has size and experience, not things that grow on trees. If he can get a decent contract elsewhere then we would all wish him well.

I really disagree with that. We won the majority of the kicking duels I felt. Commentators wouldn’t shut up about Lynagh’s boot.

Alternatively could change the Reds jersey to gold

Surprised at the pig headedness of the Blues trying to grind through the middle. After the match Canham explicitly mentioned that they knew they had another pack waiting on the bench so they could afford to bash the Blues early. We’ve been good at the ruck this year slowing down opponents and...

I think other than Lolesio there isn’t a 10 who can make a serious claim about cohesion. Donaldson has had a few combinations start to develop but an additional 200 caps would definitely make a difference to evidence how one player reacts to change.

James O’Connor has exactly 300 pro games according to Wikipedia including 64 test caps for the team this thread is dedicated to. 304 if you include Aus development teams. He’s scored over 1,200 professional points. I wish I was as bad at rugby as some posters are implying JOC (James O'Connor) is. Players with...

Sounds like it’s going to be pretty boring in that case and explains the workrate selections by Kiss.

Wouldn’t surprise me based on the size of the Blues backline. I think the Reds have picked a team to grind it out through the guts. We have no real size in the backs other than Lachie Anderson who’d be in the smaller half of the Blues backs. We don’t have much passing creativity either other...
