Even if you watch that quarterfinal performance of Savea v France it was more hype than substance.
He had two clear runs to the line for tries and if you watch his famous bump off try the Frenchie defender was so far on his heels it wasnt funny. His decline definitely started in 2015.

@antipodean Brad's not saying a great deal - a lot of "ahh, you knowing" going on.
He's borrowed a leaf out of Mark Hammett's playbook - are the Reds/Quade fans incandescent with rage at the way Quade's been treated or just concerned about the cash that's being pissed away.

That's the Reds fucked for another 4 years then. But I'll bet they get an A+ for their efforts on the training paddock.
Only the truebelievers in Brisbane and dickheads in the press still love Kwade. I'd say the vast majority of fans couldn't give a shit and are more pissed off that they paid stupid money to bring him back from France.

I see that your latest tactic in your role as publicist for the Hammetteur is to try and link him with BBBT's greatness ;).
If he was really to borrow a leaf out of the Hammetteurs playbook he'd
- Install Quade as captain for the entire season and no matter how shit he plays he'll keep selecting him even though he's cancelling his contract.
- Cancel his contract months before the end of the season, even though he's in great form, and then keep selecting him.

@tim said in Super Rugby News:
@siam I can't imagine any professional coach being that petty.
No me neither really, just thought it might be a straw on a camel's back. But only a musing
Link McKenzie told me about the time he dropped Matt Burke from warratahs because at the first interview of the season Burke spent the first half hour talking about his mew house. Link reckoned his mind wasn't on rugby.

Beyond he and Coles and Milner-Skudder, No.8 Blade Thomson and lock Michael Fatialofa are the other first-string players still under injury clouds.
A dislocated shoulder has curtailed Thomson's last two campaigns, with the 2017 one barely lasting 40 minutes, while Fatialofa dislocated his knee against the Blues last year, then suffered a bad post-op infection.
The Hurricanes hope to take both players to Pretoria, but there's still uncertainty about whether either will even be fit to play on Thursday.
"When boys have been a long time away, if there's any worries you don't want to rush them back. They're both nearly ready to go," Holland said.
The most recent additions to the team's rehab group are halfback Finlay Christie (knee) and utility back Peter Umaga-Jensen (shoulder), who both suffered injuries at the Brisbane Global Tens and face at least six to eight weeks on the sideline.

It's only the Blues....

Very smart by the Canes. Can't risk Beaudie losing confidence this early in the season.

Are the Umaga-Jensens ever not injured? The poor buggers never seem to be able string games together.

Meanwhile, the Sunwolves also confirmed the signing of Ryuchi Noguchi from Tokai University and Atsushi Sakate from the Panasonic Wild Knights, both of whom made their Japan bows in April 2016 against Korea in Kanagawa.

@toddy and for rugby in general, we've had Clarke, Broadhurst, Afeaki and now Goodes off the top of my head forced out due to concussion.
Others who have had issues many thought might end thier careers were McCaw, Ngatai, MacDonald, Smith, assume are plenty more.
