I believe his brother played hooker - surely the apple doesn't fall far from the tree

Who was in poor form that got selected in front of any of those 3.
Hooper.. guess so drop him. Valetini ..he never played a good game at 8 .. granted we were down to selecting Beale at fullback so maybe Campbell...
And as others have said the complaint was McKellar selecting Hookers..
Once again in nosense that Rennie would be so weak that McKellar rode rough shot over selections.. and that McKellar did that at the detriment of the team cos he knows Brumbies players... Granted he said that Hooker he did select some as they knew his calls... But tell me who else was available too select.

Samu was not a dominant as some would profess.

At least, more so than Wilson and McReight it would seem...

Says the guy, saying Too Many Brumby Hookers then proceeds to name zero Hookers as who shouldn't be selected

Sorry to say this but feel like I am trying to discuss things with a half wit.Says the guy, saying Too Many Brumby Hookers then proceeds to name zero Hookers as who shouldn't be selected
Please go back through the thread for the evidence.
No where did I say "too many brumby hookers"
No where did I say any of the hookers in the camp should not have been there
The gist of my comments was that there are some players that could have been there as they had better form and performances than was recognized..
Think I will let the rest of this discussion through to the keeper now.

Uelese and Porecki. Easy.
Let’s move on now because this is all way off topic.

Just very quickly... Porecki was injured.
Uelese was one of three hookers from the RC squad dumped for the EOYT along with BPA and Lonergan.
Yep. And Uelese should have been there over McInerney.

Uelese that still can't hit the side of a barn?

Stats show otherwise.

John Eales (66)
Uelese has his problems and I don't think he should be in the top 3 hookers but his accuracy isn't really an issue.

Do the stats show where the successful throws were taken? Teams conceding 2 ball to the Rebels because they know they will be unwilling to call to the middle and back (better spots to attack from) probably has a fair bit to do with those stats.

if this were true, wouldn't those defending teams have had a jumper at 2 picking off those balls.. or doesn't that suit the narrative?

Bill Watson (15)
You can't fully defend all areas in the lineout - as I said teams are conceding them 2 ball and forcing them to attack off crap ball (knowing that their attack is average anyway).
Wilson
David Codey (61)
But if he can only throw 2 ball reliably why wouldn't they focus their defence there? Makes no sense to focus defence on the parts of the lineout he can't hit and leave the one he can open.

I would hope that any of our professional hookers could hit the middle and tail of the lineout under no pressure/assume that Uelese (and Kaitu'u, Folau F, Nasser etc) do it all the time at training. Doing it under pressure in a game is a different story. Marking the back and tail force the Rebs to call a lot to 2.
