Scotty you must live north of Victoria. Nz do some great brews like Renaissance, Epic and Emersons but down south the craft scene is flying in Oz. great brews in pubs all around melbourne... You poor bastards up north...
I think you are right in that there are an array of opinions as to where he should play. Having played 10 and 15 a lot I'd say he is neither. As a 10 he can't distribute mor manage a game. At 15 he is suspect under the high ball and I think Woodward is an outstanding 15 and should stay there...
Yes the more I think about it the more I agree. It's not just Cooper Deans is playing mind games with either. He is putting link under the pump too with his comments. Gives deans the opportunity to say we didn't see him in the front line so we can't pick him. Link may or may not fold for coopers...
It may do the game more harm than good grinding a 2-1 victory rather than a scintillating 2-1 loss.
No I'm not joking. It's is where the band wagon people can be sold on rugby being a great spectacle or not seeing the same people again for 12 years.
It's only as complex as you wish to make it. Regardless of cooper JOC (James O'Connor) is not a better 10 than lilo, To'omua, heck even Barnes if you told him not to kick... A handful of first class games is absolutely absurd as experience for a lions series. It is truly laughable
Correct, deans was asked about Mogg and izzy last night and answered with Barnes. He will kick goals too and be safe under the high ball. We will not be p,axing a fast game and believe he will go with timani also. It will be tight no risk stuff. Cooper won't play unless we get smashed in the...
I'd have thought by now Hill should be giving more game time to any young props in the squad. Piss Henderson ( luckiest bloke in the comp) off and get some experience into these guys. Can't make finals, time for next year and beyond
Horne would be an enormous step up at 12 than anyone we have unless JOC (James O'Connor). wants an extended run there. Horne is a better in than out and has shown that this year. He's no Horan but we would be better off with him than the journey men we have now
My greatest concern is we beat an average Wales lat year by the skin of our scrotum playing an awful style of rugby. Many suggested it was due to injury.
We now have the same coach who looks like fielding a very similar squad despite form and fitness.
Fuck if you think Heggartys passing was good you need new g,asses. Anyone, I repeat anyone, who throws under spinning passes doesn't warrant s15 selection. His passing is a joke, behind the man and slow. You don't need another handicap when you have Phipps at 9
