I enjoy most sports but Union I struggle to be honest.
Football/Soccer drama theatre love it and the fan numbers are up already this year.
Looking at what i saw on telly of the game , the AB's set plays are pure class and almost pre-wired into their systems regardless of the situation in a match and also regardless of who is the coach.
I admit I like watching them play anytime , awesome setup ,,,, the Wallabies are schoolboys in comparison sadly
Australia had better hurry up and find another Nathan Sharpe too - this Queensland fella is unreal in his heart size , gives everything and then some , really hope the rest of them take a leaf out of Sharpey's book , we'd be 20% better overnight
But also the skill level basics are god-awful , just cringeworthy ,,,, a Hi-Po academy for the kids is a necessity now , or just accept never overcoming a great team like the AB's
**** there's so sh-t going down there or about to happen that's why I did the funny post thingie to lighten it up,because these guy's are serious
The problem with Union these days is that the defending team is only committing 2 or 3 to the ruck most of the time - the rest all quickly disappear into the defensive line to go again. The attacking team has 4 or 5 in the ruck and so is immediately a few bodies short. That is why there is so much emphasis on trying to get the ball back quickly and go again, to stretch the defence and catch them out. It makes it hard to play like that though when the opposition is deliberately slowing the ball down at every opportunity. Thats what causes the issues Mac. So then they resort to a kicking game to try and get field position and hope to force a defensive error - by putting more people in the ruck for the first phase or 2. So what do ya do? Hopefully you are good enough to still be fast and create the gaps and to do that you need to be playing fast attacking rugby and hope the opponents defence can not hold up for 80 mins and that you do not drop the ball at key points as the pressure is mounting on the opposition. Sadly at the w/e we dropped a few balls and your defence was great - however your sportsmanship left a sour taste - I hope they make an example of Higginbotham. Its about time - Richie gets back-handed every game - its a friggen disgrace!!! That was a red card offence. As was his oter one a few minutes earlier!
ps: still a little sore after dropping a bundle on the boys - backed the truck up at half time at $1.65 thinking it would be a sure thing - sadly not!
How good was it when Richie went for the points after the final whistle had gone from deep inside our half after defending for about 30 phases!! Great finish from both sides I thought.
geez..the knee has hit the right spot
but how about the good old pressure point on the neck...got to love team work
Union pff in League he would have smashed the knee into him and knocked the sh-t out of him them an all in with two red cards,one team would win and both teams hit the p-ss afterwards thats why its call union
I love the netball did you hear the flogging our girls gave yours, wouldn't have minded being a fly on the wall in the dressing room post game
Jeepers. I did not see that until now.....wow what a flogging.
The 68-48 thrashing was the highest score ever achieved by Australia in 74 years of international competition with New Zealand and the winning margin their biggest since 2000.
Shows how crap the news is down here in NSW that I did not even hear about. Thats a massive result. There would and will be blood.
Those girls both teams have been so close for years now.I think the 666 room has had enough of me for one night
Ted has the news come in that QLD are 7 up
Really? I hardly ever look in there anymore as it always seems so dead....will investigate your sins....we have had a screaming cold southerly here all day and its just started hailing would you believe! 2 days ago it was Queensland style weather
That wind has fired up here also tonight from the south hope all goes well.
Oh and SB as well I think makaha was in the air
Just read the thread on the drug taking in SUP - classic. I thought that was about to fire up good and proper. People should be a bit careful what they say on-line in those situations....could get really ugly really quickly - I do like to read it though
