Wallabies vs France 1st Test Player ratings

But where is the barn busting runs ala his Super rugby form, he just doesn't bring it.

Not trying to defend Chook here...but maybe it's partly a factor of the type of game the Tahs play vs the Wallabies. Other than Sharpie, from what I recall we didn't use the ball in the forwards much. Palu didn't get many touches in either of the games so far.

Also look at the quality of the kickers in the Wallabies (Giteau, Shepherd, Barnes) and compare this to the Tahs (Two-dads, no one else), handing the ball off to Palu and having him run 20 metres was probably the better option for the Tahs than having two dads kick it back downfield. Also maybe since we aren't using ELV's anymore the kickers are just kicking it out from inside 22 more often.

Can I just remind you this is TWF, a site name The Whole Force run by fans of the Force.

so you realise that you are being bias towards force players then?

You should read your own posts and then judge if it is so or if it is NSW come hell or high water

Apparently my scoring average makes me a Brumbies supporter?

How did you come up with that idea?
What a bizarre thing to accuse a Force supporter of on a Force site.

I'd think you'd be deluded to try and say that this forum is fair and balanced.

As for the differing style of play between the Tahs v Wallabies, Tuali'i is a fairly adequate attacker so I would assume that Dingo would want the same from Palu, yet with more affect because of his size.

TOCC makes a fair point, I'd add to it that when we came out for the second half we played a much more Tah-style game with pick and drives and the points followed.

Since when do the Tahs score points though?

[Moses]

Apart from these?

Since when do Force make finals?

[travelling_gerry]

I am sure when we get there will will know how to actually win though.

[Burgs]

Another cunning ploy by Moses to try and get suckers to his site

[travelling_gerry]

Maybe he needs to fish from his home port and not so far from base.

Well according to my sources The Force haven't made the finals yet. But The Force have only been in the competition for three seasons now.

It did however take the Warratahs seven years from the the beginning of the Super 12 to make the finals.

If in four years time The Force still haven't made the finals, then maybe you'll have a leg to stand on.

[Moses]

unlikely, if the talk about a 6 team final series is to be believed then it's possible that the Force will make it by 2012

[Flamethrower]

Logic is so nasty

[Flamethrower]

So you are saying Moses, it is harder for the Force to make the finals because there is now fourteen teams fighting for four places. While it took the Tahs seven years with only twelve teams in the comp.
