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...
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.
A kick in this game is like a rather nasty alcoholic shooter, only as good as it's chaser...

I thought you had to wear the tahpatrol shirt..
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!
Most of the Tahpatrol stuff I have seen they dont have shirts.
Is James O’Connor a victim of identity theft on the social networking site Facebook?
No.
Nah he definitely isn't Mud
"Remember lads, rugby is a team game; all 14 of you make sure you pass the ball to Giteau."
Not sure if we made the point clear Coach?
