Superthread LXXI - Honouring Phil Hughes. 63*

[Bazal]

Promoted but still. Weve conceded over 200 only once (granted we've batted first twice), no way we should be 0/7. I've scored 60 odd in four games (two I've had to open and take one for the team because no other price will do it) and I think I'm the third highest run scorer.....we scored 370 in one game last season FFS

Shows a big gulf in talent between your grades perhaps?

 

[Bazal]

I don't think so tbh. We're the second best bowling side in the comp
despite everything. I think we just think playing the same way will get us the same results....you can't bludgeon good bowlers.

 

[Twizzle]

The Wobblies got wobbled

 

[butchmcdick]

But but their new coach was going to turn the team around ........

 

[Twizzle]

yeh, all the way back to where they were before

 

[Bazal]

People need to accept that the Wallabies just aren't good enough. Doesn't matter who the coach is.

 

[Drew-Sta]

The question should be why they're not good enough, IMHO.

Twisties are known as Fonzies in Italy.

The pack is quite weak, and they get dominated at the scrum and the breakdown. That's the main issue IMO. Scrum half and the centres are an issue too. Coupled with injuries and the fact that the ARU is a genuine joke and it's clear why were not good enough I reckon.

 

[butchmcdick]

Our forwards particularly the tight five is just not up to it

Similarities to the ARL at the moment...

Agree with your assessment. The media, as usual, are useless at picking this up though!

Ireland just too good. Current 6 Nations champs and ranked No 3 in the world currently playing at home were always going to be difficult.

They even beat the Saffas and I'm hoping they can get over the Sheep Shaggers.

 

[thorson1987]

Found out yesterday the f**kwits who were running my old junior club got voted out and have nothing to do with the club anymore.

Means my boy can play for them next year.

Weird thing is that the people who were in charge of the club when I first played in 1992 are back involved with the committee

 

[Drew-Sta]

Can you help get the idiots managing St George out while you're at it, thorson?

 

[thorson1987]

Nope sorry.

I'm enjoying that show far too much.

 

[Drew-Sta]

Bastard :lol:

On another note - got the Oz Tag itch. Looking forward to tmr's game. A lot.

 

[thorson1987]

I wish I had a job where I earn as much as I do now, but with better hours so I can get back into sport.
