oh yeah small change to miss, lob him in straight for Frost and fuck Frost off to the Bokke's team steroid provider.
Wallabies v Lions Game 2 MCG 26 July
- Thread starter rugbyAU
- Start date
People complained about the refereeing last night (and largely were right to) but would refereeing of that style actually suit us better compared with Ben O'Keefe's style of refereeing?
Ben O'Keefe is arguably the top flight referee who will most try to underplay foul play and not hand out cards.

Fair call. I still think Donno is our best 10 and should start.
Which I think is reasonable but I'd be surprised if we switched now.
I also think if Donaldson started we'd be having the reverse argument and wondering whether Lynagh should start because we looked better in the second half.
Curry just kept pushing the envelope. He had free reign
I reckon we'll see a pretty dramatic change in attitude for the second test. We didn't set the tone physically, got completely outmuscled and then didn't stick up for our guys.
It has been talked about a lot and there's no way the team hasn't heard that. I'd also be very surprised if it hasn't also happened internally.
We could do worse than getting Salakaia-Loto and Gamble down to Wallabies training to give a pep talk on passion and playing for the guys next to them. The Lions played the first half of the first test at least like their lives depended on it. We certainly didn't.

^ I was absolutely thinking of that when I typed it.
Imagine what we could do if we had Shoresy and Sanguinet to give the team a pep talk.
That's why we have to select Jim Skelton, Jim Valetini and Jim Gleeson for the second test.

I'm sorry you missed out on junior rep honours to a coaches son. But it's 100% not how it works for the grown ups.

Funny!
Tommy Turbo seems to be a sensitive subject for you.
We obviously have different views on what he brings and where he ranks in Australia. I am also sure we will be miles apart on what we believe his ceiling to be.
So let’s just agree to disagree without venturing into a
psychoanalysis of my childhood years trying to find a plausible reason on why I have a different opinion than you.
In the end we all have our different opinions but the scoreboard never lies.

I know he's not in the squad and he's probably a bit banged up after last night, but jeez I'd like to see LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) on the bench along with Hooper.
Christy Doran is reporting that the backline will be the same and the forwards will feature Skelton, Valetini, Gleeson and Porecki with a 6:2 bench.
Faessler, Champion de Crespigny and Hooper likely to miss out. I assume Kellaway also misses if we go to a 6:2 bench.

If this is what Joe is going with who will cover 12 and 13 in case of injury?
Tom Lynagh. He's elite at basically every position.

Some highly regarded and credentialed coaches, selectors and pundits disagree with your analysis.
But it's not your analysis that annoys me. You've got plenty of company here to join in the let's pile on the latest young Wallaby 10.
It's your slanderous assertion that his dad somehow pulled the strings to get him where he is. I won't agree to disagree on that.
