The 'How is Fozzie going?' thread
-
How is Fozzie going thread has quickly turned to an in-depth description of the wingers.
Not convinced that wing is Fozzie's best position.
And not convinced that if wing has been so crucial to AB play this year or last year that it was because of Fozzie's coaching.
The few orchestrated moves I saw over the last 2 games, at least in the backline, did not look that successful. Unless he is coaching spontaneity to Beauden and bowling to Clarke. -
Does Fozzie even really matter?

holy shit. How many "well dur" articles are you reading at the moment?
Ben Darwin spends an enormous amount of time looking at numbers to reach conclusions everyone already knows.

Sadly when it comes to rugby journalism, dur articles are all you get!

Yeah. We used to call them "combinations" or even a "team".
This could be of interest to Fozzie (assuming anyone believes it):
"Ask a rugby player – in either code – to wear a different number on his back and fulfil a slightly less familiar role in a big game and, on average, his team score seven points fewer per game."

@mariner4life Yeah, except our coach it seems.

I find that difficult to believe given how few times a settled team plays the same opposition. Sounds like someone's analysis consists of a pivot table and subtracting two averages...

Can we judge Foster on playing an Australian side rebuilding or a very underdone Argentina.
Real test will come against teams like SA and England who have very good defensive systems.
Which we have struggled to unlock recently.
We may live in a false bubble this season until we really get tested. -
