@Stargazer very very unlikely after last season on and off field was given great chance and basically blew it

I think the term used was 'a torrid time' in camp.

Anyone know what happened? Not after salacious gossip just trying to understand the talk.

i didn;t hear an gossip, just saw his game time and so didn;t think he'd been given much of a chance to shine, what has been said?

Just a line in an article about a week ago that said he had a bad time in camp last year and then the 'sauce' comment above fro you know who that implied he had shit the bed and wasn't welcome.

@Crucial I no who you mean

you'd have to think if he can keep the form up he'll have another shot under Razor

For sure. Maybe the imlication is that he is happy to wait until then if he has somehow burned bridges with Foster?

[george33]

@Crucial well when u late to training for a start doesn't help and the attitude with especially the chiefs was not welcome and fozzy doesn't accept that or rest of coaching staff and his on field play was poor

[Stargazer]

I don't think we should accept gossip as facts.

[Kiwiwomble]

@Stargazer Especially when the gossip is almost unintelligible. #punctuation

[Stargazer]

@Kiwiwomble Yep, and coming from someone who's more often wrong than right.

[george33]

@Stargazer ok you just can't accept truth that's your choice just saying what I no and I do hope leister will come right and prove me wrong

It was interesting to see In the bit of pre game time footage in the Crusaders dressing room for the Brumbies game,Razor was having a big chat to LF, whatever was said seemed to have worked.

There's a few I'd forgotten there.

But you can throw in (off the top of my head):
Zinny
McCahill
Oz
Kronfeld
(did they include Mika?)
Carter (kinda)
Kahui (as a winger)

Others I'm not thinking of ...

To a degree, Dagg 'bolted' over Mils as primary 15 in 2011.

Any forwards in the frame? Dyer has been good for the Chiefs, and there aren't a lot of fit props at the moment

[Stargazer]

@Tim Williams?

[Tim]

@Stargazer Both with a chance, I'd say.

[Old Samurai Jack]

@Tim Williams has been the big mover at tighthead without a doubt this season but for both, 2024 is their time.

@Tim Williams?

Yes. He's been very prominent. The only question is whether he's excelling in the areas they want to see.

[Old Samurai Jack]

@antipodean Mmmm....strong scrum, good defense, good ball runner.... what do you want to see? Drop goals?

Who can tell with this coaching group? I like what I see and would select him on current form into the AB squad. See how he goes against AU and SA.

How fast does he get off the ground? It seems that this type of work rate and second efforts on D are a huge deal (I assume to the Saders as well though).
