I've chatted to a few of Rikis past coaches and they were all in accord with the fact he was a lazy trainer with an ego bigger than his chin.
It's a no from me.
You know if Pompey is moved on he'll become a elite tier center in no time. Then we'll all be scratching our heads thinking where was this under Webby while Aussies cream themselves over him like Eli Katoa. He should be starting over Berry.
He has the first grade reps and is our only...
I've defended plenty at both center and wing and Jesus it shits me when they try too hard to use the sideline. Just tackle the player instead of trying to drag/push them into touch it's not that hard strong contact should take them over anyway. Man on man defense requires inside man (2rf) to...
I've been watching the Kiwis U18s boys and girls train in camp the last few days. They look sharp but they are also very much still kids. They've certainly had a good time getting to know each other if you know what I mean (get those boys shacked up with our wahine!)
Team bonding and culture...
I think their backup plan is throwing one of the young halves they have on development contracts into the deep end. Hanson most likely first then Cleary.
It's not a bad idea to keep those spots free for young halves and just gamble on them as they come through. That way you keep the contact...
Came back from the foot injury overweight and slow. Never got match fit nor the reps in at second row.
Give me the size of Marata with the motor of Ford.
You'd hope ex players would come out at put it on the table - 'The club work environment is elite, thats not the problem; the worst part about playing for the Warriors is getting fucked by the ref every week.' If it's the view among players across the comp it looks shameful for the NRL, and...
The ref was found guessing on a lot of calls early. 2 turning point calls: Pings Walker for markers not square, was an absolute guess. Walker tries to challenge and told he can't - watching it on replay Walker was right, he was 100% square. That ended our momentum in the first half.
The second...
I love this take. Union may as well have been the state religion, but the youth are over being indoctrinated and are calling for revolution. Be glad the NZRU don't have a secret police force. Oh wait... that's what secondary schools are for isn't it..
Runs 2 and 3 coming off our own try line are running at a set defensive line. Those runs hurt because there are no gaps, you're basically always running into shoulders. (Those are the ones Dallin usually gets smoked on) MGT's legdrive after hitting the line meant that he was winning the contact...
