James O'Connor Fights to keep James O'Connor at the Force!

[shasta]

[/COLOR]It'd be easier to agree with you if you had watched some Force games RRG......Every game he played at 12 he slipped through the line almost at will.

Hmmmmm. When a Force supporter posts so many negatives but very few positives you'd almost wonder if we got another pesky troll hangin' around.

You been spending too much time in the company of Tahs RRG.

ive watched every force game, if he slipped through at will, we probably would have won more games.

players get put through holes. O'connor is a very good rugby player with alot of promise, but reading somke of the comments here people seem to think he is playing rugby at a level above any given mans ability. he backs up well and he runs good lines. these are things that while natural ability come into it very much (i.e footwork) are coached and taught. he doesnt invent the gap, and he doesnt start the play, the ball is already in movement when he gets it most times, he plays very well but he isnt jesus just yet!

im sorry if i dont live in perth anymore! i didnt realise that moving required people to leave there opinions at the border!

RRG is just a sweet girl from the north shore of Sydney.

She is only forced to watch the Tahs games due to her cruel and overbearing brother who knows nothing better.

But she really is a cheer leader for the

Aren't you?

first of all, im from the northern beaches of sydney now, i think if you say north shore there may be gang wars or something! hehe

i go to the tah games cos i live in sydney, i go to school and i cant afford to see the force in perth!!!!!

i have worn my force jersey to the 5 rugby matches in sydney i have attended this year and will be doing so again at the barbarians match this weekend! so excuse me if i give a different view, but i live with tahs fans and read a media who gives me different information than what you guys have! im sorry if my opinion is hated or to be ridiculed, i just joined this board to talk about rugby, if thats a problem tap me on the shoulder and i will go...

as i said, he still needs players around him to play well, he cant get the ball stone cold all the time, the player inside him puts him into gaps. gaps he runs lines for and gaps they train five days a week to open in defensive lines! but im sure O'connor can do it all on his own, lets throw a 10 on his back and have sheehan throw him everything so he can continue to get battered!

Everyone needs to be surrounded by good players. One man can't carry a team. But not everyone can be surrounded by Matt Giteau, and many people have to figure out how to play without him. Berrick Barnes can do it, why couldn't JOC? He is surronded by Wallabies like Sheenan, Cross and Shepard here, what can't they throw him the ball as well as Giteau?

One occasion, as mentioned above, he DID get the ball stone cold and ran half of pitch. No he can't get it like that all the time, but the fact that he can get it stone cold or from a quick pass or however is pretty decent quality in a player. If he didn't train, then why would we even bother playing him? How does the fact that he trains make these moves make it any less valuable? Giteau trains to throw him supposedly every single pass JOC receives.

tap tap...


I thought you had to wear the tahpatrol shirt..

Gerry, you might have to re-think posting links to these articles. our resident troll is using them to annoy the wider WA community.

From comments at Perth Now...........

It's difficult not being the master of you own domain. The SARU could keep the Force waiting for sometime going on the recent meetings with the ARU and NZRU about the new Super Rugby format for 2011. As I understand it the SARU want to keep their players available for the Currie Cup.

Same tired lines same stringing together unrelated facts to suit the desired conclusion - just another audience.

wow thats really pathetic

not only does he find the time to be a troll here but also on News Ltd pages. Only problem with that is the wider WA community probably doesn't care so the new fishing hole will probably let you down

[rahrahgirl]

you get the tah patrol shirt when you get your membership, they send it to you, i gave mine to my brother. they sent him a small and me an xl, he is 114 kilos to my 60, so i thought i would help him out!

[travelling_gerry]

Most of the Tahpatrol stuff I have seen they dont have shirts.
