@Machpants and then after the Lions we forgot how to deal with it.
Crotty was a key part of our side then too, he got injured in one game when we looked like running riot?

@taniwharugby agreed
and i understand the whole, "we can explain what we're doing" idea, dont want the opposition to know all our secrets....but its not exactly engaging is it, and its a little concerning if our big ideas rely so much on surprise
i'd be much happier if we had a game plan we were happy to just tell the world "this is what we'd doing...come and stop us"
aaahhh we're doing the same shit we have been doing for 2 years. Even a thick coach like, say, Ian Foster, has probably worked it out by now.

Whitelock was ruled out early in the week.

Our secrets seem to be:
Lack physicality, don't commit numbers to rucks, put everybody out of position (particularly mid field where it really counts defensively), unbalance the loosies, lack impact off the bench with fresh fast players, wings that are slow...Fuck that was going to be a long post. I shall now go back to the grumpy old man one.

Our lineout looks pretty vulnerable. A skinny rookie lock, no targets at 7 or 8, and an unproven six (is he any good as a target?).
Sotutu should be starting at 8, and would give an option.
Pretty sure I’ve seen Savea taking plenty of lineout ball?

Ive seen Michael Hooper win ball as well, doesn't mean he's an option except as the surprise. Generally doesn't work twice in a week.
Still, if can win the ball at 2, Smith's pass makes it still good attacking ball.

@mariner4life according to ESPN stats, George Bridge won a lineout...although I assume a quick throw counts for a lineout win
-
@mariner4life Mmm...maybe was a bit harsh but along the lines of "you have to expect a contest", " you can't always get the results you want", " type lecture.

doesn't matter, my opinion is set
Never liked that jaffa, right back to when we used to rip the piss out of him for being a pussie on the field.
