    I was initially prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I'm teetering on the edge.

    To my mind he's fucked up twice:

    1. Selection: Picking four players out of position, and bland placeholding type players
    2. Performance: if the above team had performed it may have excused the selection. But it didn't.

    I was wanting to do a longer rant but don't have time, but to me it seems he wants to be a bit cutesy and reinvent rugby. By that I mean he seems to have picked two 1st 5s, playing them in numbers 10 and 15, and two fullbacks at 11 and 14 to cover the 2nd 1st 5/8.

    Over complicated?

    Rugby has developed the positions it has over 150 odd years as that seems to be the best way to play it.

    His midfield pissed me off no end.

    And Ardie as our heavy hitter.

    I am very neutral on Fozzie at the moment.

    If thats neutral, I cant wait to see you angry

    He's not neutral, he's very neutral.
    <Start thunderclap>.
    And I totally agree with him but I'd go even further, what clever tactic, move or strategy have we seen from Foster since he joined the AB coaching team? And how long ago?

    That awesome move with Dagg off the scrum against the Lions. 3rd test, time almost up, excellent field position. Obviously the best move is a crash ball with Dagg. How could anyone have known he'd be held up by the tacklers and a scrum awarded to the Lions. FFS.

    Fucking Lol (TM m4l)

    Come on be fair though, if you could have guessed ten moves, was that one of them? Hashtag element of surprise

    Same place the Wallabies have been in for years. Victory can make you complacent.

    Is that like saying "suck it up cos we had to for years?" With all due respect f#%k right off! I do not want to experience what Wob fans have gone through. I have seen the pain in my brother-in-law's face! The obvious mistakes again and again......

    Yeah but that is kind of an obvious statement to make - you don't move forward, you are going backwards, like business..

    No shit. hence the average AB fans angst at the moment. They haven't seen any go forward since the obvious staleness shown in the 2016 Lion's series. Every friggen problem in that series is still friggen haunting us today!!!!!! FFS!!!!!

    How's Fozzie going?

    He's getting fatter and fatter and fatter. At the rate he's going he'll resemble Mr Cerosote soon.

    I think he reached that size a while back. You just couldn't see him behind Shag.

    Well last week was "innovative". He picked numbers out of a hat and gave them to randomn players. It has been done a bit in the past but not quite so unsuccesfully.

    He should take personal responsibility, and sort out his obesity! Like these string beans

    Did anyone here actually want him to get the job? I know plenty of people are willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and some time, but I'll bet he wasn't the preferred choice of anyone. Says alot really.

    Not true. The focus on his weight from social media and on here happened while he was an assistant to Henry.

    Perhaps @WTW at a stretch but I can't think of anyone else.

    I wanted him to get it as a joke to watch the fern meltdown but I didn't for the life of me expect him to get it

    The long game had been played and signals well before the decision were given that appeared at least that it was almost guaranteed to happen

    True and this "Joke" was long before he was appointed.
