We have gone from being the games innovators to a team struggling for ideas .
Lost to the wallabies and the pumas in successive weeks playing dumb rugby . Really dumb .

@nostrildamus Reiko is not a test centre. He is one of the best wings in the world however. Taking JG off today was a mistake.
@kev yes I can believe that. Good centres take time. I still think he has potential but perhaps he'll always be an unstable combination of excitement and utter dumb shite machine..

I hope

@hydro11 always starts with winning contact.
Loose forwards got monstered in the first half.
It's amazing how we could see that Frizell and to a lesser extent Ardie don't have the required physically for test rugby, yet Foster, Plumtree and co can't.

@Kirwan Ardie is the wrong number 8 for any team that matches us. Hoskins should start now. We have lots of 6s just need to pick the best.
IMO Ardie actually played quite well. He definitely wasn't the worst player out there and had a lot of energy for the final try. He just didn't offer what we needed tonight.
He played well...but he played like a 7...so we had one tackling 7 and one running 7...and were missing an 8
And a hard running six....
Please no more Frizell from now on. SR is his level.
@akan004 It’s because they are running off an old template of a speed game with light back-like loose forwards running oppositions ragged. Three problems with that - one, you need to win first phase possession, two you need to be competitive at the breakdown and three, you need a strategy that has not already been on show for five years. This is very ordinary and unimaginative coaching. It’s like when Tim Cook took over from Steve Jobs at Apple. The thinking was ‘we have a winning formula. Just keep on churning out product based on the same template that the rest of the world has already worked out years ago’. It’s stale thinking from mediocrities standing on the shoulders of those who have gone before and enabled by conservative money men who are chained to what they think is a winning formula.

I would love to hear what BB really thinks of Foster and what has happened the last few years. I have a sneaking suspicion behind closed doors he thinks foster is a fluffybunny. This no doubt creeps into the culture of players etc and may help explain why he has just been off for some time.

@nostrildamus he can do that at the level below. In tests we need him to do his core roles well.

Can't argue with you kev. 13 is a key position and I liked JG there last year (just wish he was a bit quicker)
-
Walden the answer in midfield?...

When was the last back to back losses?
They said 2011

Foster is pathetic. And don't forget Cane. The big win against the wallabies was clearly an aberration. Cane is a very, very poor Captain
-
if not Cane then who as Captain? SW? Doesn't he have enough on his shoulders? The only other certainty is arguably A Smith?

We don't play Scotland any time soon do we?

Aussies will smash them next week as Argentina will be drinking litres and litres of red wine

What’s wrong with that? I might smash a couple of malbecs in their honour

I'm beginning to doubt if Foster has the skills to develop his potential.

Missed the game. Thought Kick Off was about now.
Just seen the score. WTF?!
You poor bastard having to sit through it, save yourself the trouble and just get on the foster is a fluffybunny bandwagon.
-
@nostrildamus that is why they moved him to 12. He executes really well and is a great defender. The Blues have always had the best runners, but seldom the best backline.
@kev yes but I still prefer JG at 13.
