Bok side moving forward

Good side until you went and picked Roos at #8. I'm guessing that was a typo?

Here it is, Fat Lip. 

It's from a year ago.

Just tell me what is missing here in terms of what a 12 needs. Particularly, as you have stated previously, DDA's role is to tractor.

Roos has better acceleration, hand off, agression, and step than DDA. I think his top speed is also superior to DDA's. Looks like it anyway. Still, the former are simply facts.

So what does DDA have?

He's knows how Rassie wants to play and he has a "skillset" that Roos doesn't.

And that's the question...what is that skillset?

...the Lip will grow Fatter but the answers won't be forthcoming.

The same debate raged on around Bobby Skinstad and whether he should move to 10 to counter the big centres of the Kiwi teams. The SA teams back in the late 90s got caught with the size of the kiwi south sea islander backline player. Do you okes remember Norm Berryman. He use to pinball of SA players from his own goal line. Our back were very small in comparison and struggled to compete. We only started to compete properly when we got someone like De Wet Barry and Marius Jobert and then 4 years later Jean De Villiers and Jacque Fourie came on the scene and who know how successful those 2 were. 

Damian dud Alende did the job as our tractor, but he has better acceleration than Roos. 

He should stay at 8, he might not have the torque of a Vermeulen or Wiese but he has showed that he can cover 7 which is a more attacking role. 

Who has Rassie capped more, Wiese or Roos?

I never said Rassie preferred Wiese to Duane. I didn't mention Duane at all actually.

But you know that Rassie has capped Wiese a bunch of times as compared to Roos. Hence, in usual Fat Lip fashion, you bring Duane into a discussion that isn't about him because you'd rather not admit what the numbers are. Same as you bring others "opinions" into discussions about DDA...because you'd rather not face reality and look at the actual numbers. I'd give you a touch of respect if your deflections were even slightly more well thought out...but they're not. They're baseline dumbo bullshit...always.

I have a question for you...were you literally the shittiest lawyer at your firm and did they give you a ridiculous severence package simply for you to piss off? I would have given you shares if it meant getting your dumb fake jock arse out the door.

Imagine the torture of having to work beside a toolbox like Fat Lip.

Eluckmiss clearly prefers Wiese  to Roos.Roos is in the same position the Deysel twins were 4 years ago….lots of fan support but not rated by the Genius.

More Emperor's Clothes stuff from the Fat Lip...Rassie has clearly picked Wiese more often, leaving Roos out of the Squad since the Welsh debacle. 

But Rassie is secretly in love with Roos.

Fuck off you ignorant prick, DA is a class act

 it’s a measure of your stupidity that you don’t get the value of DA

DA is a class act

Thank you Dave, I appreciate the kind words

It's all in the context obviously, but I'll take it anyway

Dud is the most overrated center in modern Bok rugby

Mozart has a disease - he refuse to see anything he  does not want to see and admitted it openly in the past.    Tha accounts for 90% o the BS  he spread on site.   The playes eh prmote has serious deficiencies that eh refuse tos ee.   His asessmnt of player performances is farcical - so it si better to ignore the BS he comes  up constantly.    

To get away from he BS.    Lts look at the Spring bok defocoency as to palying attacking Rugby.   For years the Springbok strategy was to use the loosies as an extension of the Tight 5 - with speed-deficient loosies being the norm.   If that form is to continue no attacking coach would make a difference to Springbok attacking  rugby.    For isnatce an 8 like Wiese is not the ideal 8 t ahave as an attacking playr tying in with th abckline.         

The AB's for year had a vey positive approach a to attack strategy - th ey brought in their forwards - and in particular their lossies as an essential in atatcking  rugby performances.   Brown si obviously part of that approach and I think their are two key players he will use in that regard in future.   

Erasmus started to change that idea and in the WC final in 2019 - there were forwards involved in both tries scored by the Springboks (Marx and Du Toit) played key roles in the scoring  of the two tries      The problem is that progress was not as noticeable as it was not so obvious since 2019 and I think that is why Erasmus had Brown appointed as attack coach.        

In an environment where th Springboks want to sharpen up on atatcking rugby there are two players that will play a key role in that strategy - the one is Roos and  the second one is Du Toit.   Both are players with ball ense and are often where the action in attacking play is.     I can see both blossoming  under Brown and that will be a valiuble component of the attacking  strategy of the  Springbok team.

I would rather see a loosie at 6 that can tie in with the two loosies mentioned - Kolisi may be of ehlp - but he is not pacy enough and maybe near to retiement.   So whoc an meet that requirement to beoem aprtner of the reat two meetin that requirement.    

That would leave players like Wiese on the fringe and probably selected as stand -ins .
