Anyone here watch the game the other morning? This is one sporting team that has lost the plot. And now i read today that they axed Giteau and Wendell??

2 blokes need the chop - the coach, and the captain. While they're at it, the fat spaz called Matt Dunning.

Peter Roebuck (ABC cricket commentator) made a poignant comment (re: Buchanan) - the coach has given the team what he offers, and taken them where he intended. It's time for something new, and a new coach to set a new course for the team. Couldn't be a truer word said re Eddie Jones.

i agree, i think they NEED to get rid of captain and coach.

I mean, how much longer can Gregan be carried by the rest of the team, he's done nothing for ages and looks like he's reached hi use by date.

saying that, the forwards aren't exactly setting the world on fire :roll:

I can't stand Union, but i hate seeing an Aussie rep side performing so badly :(

How old is Gregan?
That tackle against the kiwis seems a very long time ago

The thing that p'd my q's in the game the other day is the number of times Gregan had a whinge to the ref - when the ball was there to be played! Once he starts doing that, the team falls apart and his game is all over.

Everyone keeps complaining about the time it takes to get the ball out of a ruck. everytime Gregan picks the ball up he takes 2 steps backwards before passing leaving everyone in the backline stuttering waiting for the ball.

This is best shown when Whitticker comes on. He is old fashioned in that he sets his feet and just rifles the pass out meaning we are going forward. Someone suggested Giteau to half and Rogers to fly half. Good suggestions and one I'd like to see tried.

He is simply too conservative in his selections...

The Aussie trophy case used to be full. World cup, Bledisloe, Tri Nations you name it - we had it.

The only way to go was down. But I haven't noticed much in the way of personnel changes since then. It still Canon and Sharpe and Fat Matt Dunning doing the rounds in the forward pack. Still Gregan and Larkham (when uninjured). We have let the game pass us by.

Spot on Virge - 2 steps, and you can read where the pass is going in last weeks paper. It's 2 dimensional and boring.

The French smashed us in the line last weekend. They knew where the pass was going, and the backline was so flat! Without wanting to sound like Phil Gould - they should have all taken another 3 steps back to give the ball a chance to get through the hands?!

;)Believe me, I've thought of using it many times, unfortunately it makes moderating a little hard.
