Quade Cooper Tribute

Giteau has lost his speed

Slow backs.........worse than a toothe ache

Giteau is hardly slow... thats laughable... But his reading of the game is sharp & his kicking in play... He may not be your fantasy Wallabies Flyhalf but he along side Cooper is all we have for the RWC no matter how some Force members want to be bitter about past associations... Its how it is... Both the Rebels and the Force have employed foreign flyhalves who aren't able to be Wallabies hence running down the specialist flyhalf stocks for the wallabies RWC this year... the force also did it the prior year with wonder boy sandcastles Andrea Pretorius... so we have to do with what we have this RWC... so if your not happy with Giteau as back up flyhalf blame the Force for spending the last 2 seasons not giving an Australian player the opportunity... think gentlemen just don't complain...

Yeah we have a bit of a history with failed fly-halves don't we: Ripia, Pretorius and Giteau.

Giteau has definetly lost speed, he used to be explosive over short distances, haven't seen him do that for a few years now

You missed the match on the weekend? He didn't have an issue with the Reds the week before... He gets the work down and is still one of the quickest on the field...

and muddie has that picture of AAC and Gits in their gym gear on the back door of his Loo

So I guess the way it worked out for them all it may be hard to sign a good flyhalf in the future... You'll have to make one...

we have, give him two seasons and Chucky'll be better than Giteau ever was at 10!

(OK I know that's not saying a lot, my mum's better than Giteau ever was at 10)

Please GiGsy, you've only given Chucky a chance in the last couple of weeks because the Force ran out of options, He wont be a flyhalf for the 2012 RWC... However I do like his work...

With possible injuries occurring and only having 2 players who can fill th Wallabies flyhalf spot and win a match is a bit of a worry....

[Burgs]

...He wont be a flyhalf for the 2012 RWC...

For once you are 100% correct

I agree chucky for No.10, Far more organised player than Willie and JOC. Just a heads up JOC last time i checked no I in TEAM.

man I do that... 2011 RWC... ..

Clearly you dont watch the news, they are currently being renamed the "JOC Qantas Wallabies"

Gits is still quick. Don't forget the game has changed a lot since he debuted 11 years ago. Defences are much tighter and more organised. It's harder for players like him to make breaks.I think he's still a great player, but perhaps playing in weak teams (Force & Brumbies) hasn't helped. I think playing with the likes of JOC and QC could see him back to his best. Hopefully

[palitu]

it is not often that muddy is the target of trolls in a thread..

good point about making our own flyhalf though...
