They also tend to polarise opinion, generate likes or stimulate replies. As opposed to a well thought out but lengthy repose which is read by the diehard and skipped by many. It depends on whether ones goal is to educate, irritate, or entertain. Being the Internet there is a fair representation...

Agree entirely I was pondering today whether playing the ABs so often while they're such a dominant force is actually hurting Australian rugby. Looking forward to some variety and hopefully some different results.

And exactly how have your last two posts furthered this thread? There's a game on tonight right?

Thanks for that So much clearer now. Quaditis is just the lazy mans comeback. Soon to be followed by comments about tinted glasses. Foleys kicking is a very clear problem that needs to be addressed whether you're a QC (Quade Cooper) fan or not. And it's why people are raising issues about him being a "complete...

Bernie could kick. Crucial difference. If foley could consistently clear our 22 with touch finders and eliminate the aimless kicks in general play that frequently end with tries in the next few phases, then I would agree 100%. But at the moment there's a chasm between his play and larkhams...

I hope you're right. For once I will be really happy to be proven wrong!

Cheika also said our lineout would be fine before the Eng and NZ games and look how that worked out. I'm a firm believer the proof is in the pudding and the puddings pretty rancid. This is actually the worst lineout we've fielded all year. We might get away with it against Wales if we're lucky...

We tried the short lineout earlier this year and got owned. NZ and Eng just put a superior jumper against every man in our lineout. And they knew exactly where we were throwing it because of our limited options. Granted Wales lineout is weaker but I hope this is not the new blueprint for the...

If Cheikas true to form, barring injury or unless foley has an absolute shocker, Cooper will get the last 5-10'mins.

Well that's dissapointing Now I know how Bill Murray felt. Pooper = fail Lineout = fail DHP on wing = fail 10/12/13 = Attacking fail Not sure how we're going to score tries with that lineup And there's no way foleys going to out-kick halfpenny. Maybe we're just going to keep 70% of possession...

Pick the best players in their own positions and the playing relationships will develop. Constantly picking players out of position to plug gaps is what hinders development of combinations. And it serves no utility when it clearly is never going to be a long term option (e.g. QC (Quade Cooper)/ foley at 10/12)

I agree. I think Quade - Hodge - Folau has lots of attacking threat and gives hodge another chance with a playmaker inside him. That would be my choice But I doubt Cheika will go that way.

Neither foley nor cooper are 12s. Time to stop shuffling players out of position. One plays 10, the other sits on the pines. I'd prefer cooper but Chieiks obviously prefers foley. Give hodge another crack at 12 against a non all black lineup before chucking him on the scrap heap and going back...

Fuck me this must be the worst post match thread since I've been reading this forum. Trolling,bleating, sanctimonious admonishing, And bugger all game analysis Anyone got some insights into the game?

mmmm - Penfolds bin 389 Shiraz - Dark, full bodied, good depth of flavour Trowel and cement - not so much Sorry where were we again.. :)

That's what I meant by getting creative. If he feels there is no other option than foley at 10 then he needs to play Hodge and DHP as dual first receiver options when we are defending in our half and the kick is on. Shunt foley out to the wing. It's not ideal but it's better than gifting a...

Call me a cynic but I suspect the concussion will miraculously subside after the hearing.

I deliberately didn't mention Quade as i was just trying to focus on the glaring issue with Cheikas obvious preference at 10. Quades kicking in general play is superior to Foleys and if he was the incumbent there would be other flaws I'd be focusing on. But a 10 just has to be able to kick from...
