    Very optimistic. A better scrum, a better line-out and better at the breakdown will see Giteau, on the few occasions he gets ball, unable to do anything with it. You'll be lucky to score a try.

    The Force backline next year will have a thin sprinkling of talent amongst a conga line of neophytes… But the good news is with Andre Pretorius as fly they’ll just need a good kick chase game…

    The Coaching crew will be frantically working on their tackle because they won’t see much ball…

    I got a ton says you're wrong as usual and the expansive game plan will stay. What about it?

    Pretorius has shown he can play the passing/running game when he's got the cattle outside him plenty of times. He'll put young James and Crossy into space plenty too. But I guess selective memory loss helps when you have an agenda to push.

    Great theory n00B but did you see the stats that Giteau kicked more times in the S14 this year then Pretorius??

    And the flyhalf only kicks as much as the game plan says to.

    And dont worry about the tackle count the were the most effectice tackling unit in all of S14 this year.

    Stats: thats because the Lions never had the ball....... Pretorius still might have a pass but he can't run on those metal pins... He'll kick all day for field position old dogs can't learn new game plans... and the weird eyebrow thing he does is a touch creepy....

    Spanners wont be covering defensive duties for JO'C next year.... He is going to do a lot of tackling next year...

    Thats your word muddie noone elses...
    The fact that the Brumbies have pulled out means he has less bargaining power so wont be able to squeeze much else out unless he is seriously considering a move north which i doubt... not at his age.
