    Rod Kafer - Inside Rugby Thursday 13 March 2008

    During tonights Inside Rugby - Rod Kafer made a comment that puzzles me greatly

    Maybe I wasnt paying attention, perhaps my increased beer intake over the weekend in Perth has addled my brain.

    In a comment about how good a game Ryan Cross had on the weekend Rod said something like. and I cant quote - "a great performance in a team like that" the "in a team like that is exactly what he said.

    In a team like what

    perhaps I misheard him.

    Can someone watch it - make sure its not something we need to take up with him about.

    I still believe that the Emirates Western Force is getting the raw end of the stick coverage wise, we are treated like the second cousin that know one to acknowledge.

    I would have thought that as Fox as a vested interest in promoting the game Australia Wide, an equal share of the coverage isn't too much to ask for.

    Could "a great performance in a team like that" mean a great performance when surrounded by other great players = a GREAT performance?

    Alright calm down.

    He said we have the best backline in Australia and are currently the best Australian team going around, etc.

    Said our weakness was the scrum (obviously) but was generally full of praise. I rather enjoyed the Force love on tonight's show.

    Some Half empties on here.

    Well said. Just finished watching it (Foxtel IQ gets a big from me) and think that the boys at Inside Rugby are slowly coming around to feeling some love for the .

    Yeah, he didn't say what you thought Exile....

    Good coverage though, they actually talked about the Force...

    I have no problem with what Kafe said when he did the chalkboard thing for the Force - it was a big wrap - the comment he made, that upset me was at the very start of the show.

    Yeah I must have missed it Ex, I thought the show was a great, big, heaping slice of humble pie tonight, they spent a good 20 minutes talking up the making great comments about most of the stuff we've been praising all season!

    Could have he said against a side like that? or could he have been making reference to us as a side which is struggling to achieve dominance in the set piece? I wouldn't argue with a comment framed in either terms (although I'd say the latter is a bit harsh considering IMHO our front row is just short on depth....That'll happen with the loss of a Gus!

    Sorry I can't be more help Ex, but I thought Inside Rugby was mint tonight! BTW Despite my whingeing about the bias, I love being able to watch a rugby news program every week of the regular season!

    Certainly seeing some change in how the Force is perceived. Aside from IR last night, did anyone see the SMH article Tahs must fill blanks to have chance against Crusaders: Carter? The line I liked was:

    "If we can get a win against the Crusaders at Christchurch, it will give the team more confidence. We do need one of those big results [versus the Crusaders, Blues or Force] to go our way to really gain some momentum."

    Love is nice, but earned respect is better.

    Thats a quote from a player though. Not someone from the media.

    But it is good to see the Force gaining respect within the opposition
