For the second bolded piece: Sir Richie spent his last four or five years running more often,
the GOAT didn't really have weaknesses, but fair to say that his running game wasn't a massive strength. To be honest, by the end of his career, I think he just did everything pretty well, but did it all the damn time, all over the paddock, all game. Just incredible.
By comparison, I'd classify Pocock's running game as a consistent weakness. It's amazing, that a guy with such apparent balance and strength just can't seem to get through contact well or find open spaces (1 run at the weekend excepted). This has been noticeable for a while.

Richie also used to be a good support runner ,
Due to his non stop running , if someone would make a break he would often bob up in support , receive a pass and move it on quickly to a more dangerous runner
-
There was a period that Richie dropped more ball than usual it was around that 05-06 period when we were playing a lot flatter in attack and we would have runners standing a lot closer to the defensive line. A number of our forwards, even Jerry took a bit of time to adjust.
In that 08-11 period he was a real go to guy with ball in hand. Carried far more than earlier in his career and we even liked to use him out wide.
-
@act-crusader haha yep, there was that period where he used to be good for at least one or two knock ons a game

Theres a fat bald old niggly bastard coaching in the Sydney boonies who can't be much worse than the other contenders.
Apparently he talks a big power game.
if you're referring to me: I'm no longer a coach, but a club administrator pursuing a refereeing career.
Therefore I'm the right man to fix both the hideous state of Rugby Australia's pathway system, AND World Rugby's convoluted Laws.

Big Owen is $9.00 to score a try, $3 more than his propping partner, Moody, with Whitelock next 'least likely' on $5
-
@taniwharugby sportsbet here have Australia at $11 head to head.
EDIT: I assume Owen's $9 is in Kiwi dollars, and with ours in Aussie dollars it means Franks is almost 50% more likely to score a try, than the Wallabies are to win
-
@nta Kiwi dollars are the only ones I have
our TAB have Aussie at $9.50 H2H (NZ at $1.04)

It would almost be worth giving him the coaching gig just to see the results of his antiquated methodologies and tactics.
