I’ve been reading this thread for some time now & there have been some really good points raised. I’m certainly no expert on the topic & am still scratching my head over which way to vote. For me the initial confusion was about what supporting the yes vote would actually lead to in reality...
These guys are seasoned professionals though. They shouldn’t need coaching on how to tackle especially in the middle. Hopefully our new halves will mean we finish our sets better & they won’t be called on to do as much defence.
Yep I’d like to see this too, unless we can recruit better.
Are there any kids coming up through the grades who might be pushing for a spot? Weren’t there a couple who did their ACLs earlier in the year?
Ranked 10th in the world before the World Cup. Beat Canada (7th) & France (5th) on the way to an eventual 4th place finish. Highest ever World Cup placing for any Australian team.
Well done ladies.
Same here & I agree. Although we keep losing we’ve mostly always been in the fight. Problem is we keep shooting ourselves in the foot & our edge defence is ordinary. And with new halves next year they’ll need time to gel so we’ll be starting all over again. I think we’ll get one or two more...
No coincidence that we started our come back with Twal & Blore on last night. They bring impact & energy off the bench. Maybe we need to promote one of them to starting prop?
