On Sotutu, I am kinda sick of people saying "both sides of the ball" to criticise him. If they really mean both sides, then how about criticising, i dunno, everyone fucking else for not being able to do what he does on the attacking side of the ball?
Reminds me of when Egghead tried to explain how Christian Cullen didn't run with the ball in his hands in the correct grip 🙄

Has @sparky hacked your account or are you comparing Sotutu to Cullen ?

Analogies are rarely perfect mate. Get over it

Scotty Hansen is a bit of a big talking, smug, cliche-factory, but I'll cut him some slack if I see the team play as well as he's talking. -

He was the man who devised game plans to win those Titles.
He broke down the oppositions game plans in the play offs.
Very good at finding weakness in the opposition. -

fuck, now you made me read the "article" and i am dumber for it.
The little wank over Frizzell was the first giveaway that this was going to be complete garbage.
Anyone else look at that AB starting team he picked and thought "gee that's a bit ordinary" (miss you John Drake)? Perofeta at the back. 3 openside-sized players in the loosies. The hope that this is the year Patty T turns Super form in to test form? The hope that Cody Taylor is immediately up to speed. A quarter of the run on side hasn't played any rugby for like 5 weeks?
Finau selected to cover lock? Have they ever heard of Soldier Field?

@Bones
He seems to suggest Razor's teams play in quite a different way from Fozzie's. (or even Hansen and Henry)More adaptability and variation acorss roles during the game.
Razor's backline operates very differently, that's for sure. It's one of the reasons why Mo'unga looks a world-beater for the Crusaders and just average for the All Blacks. He gets to pick his moments more for the Crusaders.

I think the step-up between SR and Test level might have something to do with it myself.

As I said, one of the reasons 😉

That's probably never going to happen, because instantly everyone would be up in arms about the coaches bagging a player in the media. And I don't particularly want our coaches telling other teams about our players' perceived weaknesses.
It's a bit like people wanting more information about the gameplan.
