World Cups are not trials for future World Cups and that is what Eddie is doing with this World Cup. So many young and inexperienced players who are just not good enough for international rugby. They may in a year or two's time but not now. We have quality players at home sitting back laughing...
Petaia has offered nothing at 13. Kicking the ball away inside their 30m is disgraceful. Eddie is too arrogant to admit he has picked the wrong squad. We have so many quality players not in this squad, all with so much experience that is needed when you get to a World Cup.
World Cups are every...
Lets put this in perspective. We beat Georgia by 20 points. They are ranked 11th in the world and a couple of years ago we would have put 50 on them. Yes they have improved but it was only a win, not a great performance. The platform by our forwards was very good in the first half and we had...
Donaldson did his job well and kicked his goals but against the big teams he will have no impact. If Jorgensen is fit they should give him a crack off the bench. Big ask for a young kid but he kicks goals pretty well also.
I have worked it out. Eddie playing Donaldson and hoping he gets injured so he can throw him out of the squad. They guy would not have made the Randwick Grand Final team and here he is at Fullback in our first World Cup game.
What a joke!
Beale or Burke would have to be up there in regards to tests played. Burke had huge impact on games with his immaculate goal kicking.
Mortlock a Wallaby Captain but Bell likely to surpass them all.
Can you please run through how many Randwick Juniors were actually in that team on the weekend. From my viewing there were 7 international players and 5 Gordon Juniors in that starting team. Not a great advertisement for the Randwick Junior Academy.
Cooper and Foley both better kickers and with a lot more experience. Also hearing they have a lot to say and Eddie did not like anyone listening to other voices that are not his.
Does Eddie really care about this World Cup. You can not go into such a tournament without a high percentage goal kicker in your squad. The kid is a great player but the goal kicking will start to affect his confidence and then no doubt his general play.
Starting to to worry about even getting...
Rumours circulating that Uni have once again broken the Colts points cap. Will not be disqualified from the competition but will be impacted in season 2024 with reduced points quota. May hinder a number of recruits they were targeting. Once again the warehousing of talent does nothing for player...
No doubt that Randwick was the best team and deserved to win but having Gardiner come in and referee a preliminary final like a test match ruined the game. He has no feel to the way Shute Shield has been refereed all year. Hopefully Matt Kellahan gets the GF and we have a fair contest for the...
Phil Waugh goes on about engaging with grassroots and growing the game by getting supporters to connect with their local clubs. You take players away from the pinnacle games of the season so they can play a nothing game against Portugal overseas which no one will watch or really care about. You...
Ikitau is a massive loss for the Wallabies.
Donaldson must have something on Eddie because he is a waste of a selection. Waratahs even punted him and now Eddie picks him.
The Randwick connection strikes again.
