The Damian Files

I'm finishing up my time stamp collection with Damian. I've just finished the England series and was reminded just how shocking it all was. So many weak tackles. One leading to a Mike Brown try in the first half of the first test. Zero big stops. Contrast this with André's big hits and excellent lateral defence. It's not even remotely comparable. I hope Damian holds firm for just one test. He did it against Wales in 2015. These reviews make me very nervous. I also note there are few instances of passing other than very simple links in the line. He doesn't get anyone away, mostly dead end runs. André runs much harder and is more upright in contact. He doesn't need to hunch his shoulders and burrow into tacklers. Ball presentation is another contrast between the two. Aside from Pocock being a menace, André's consistently provided quick, clean ball. 

Once I've collected the time stamps I'll cut the film for all his test. I'll upload a preliminary video for Damian and André post RC and make a complete version after the November tests. We'll have the entire 2018 season ready for review. I think that's fair and we can determine who really was the better inside centre. 

I'll do Eben a well. I haven't forgotten about this. I'll do his Wellington test and another with a better blend of attack and defence to show how he is utilized in as many different scenarios as possible. I'm think the Brisbane test will be a good one. 

Relax Organhuffer your fake news re Allende is not being eagerly anticipated. Look forward though to your efforts on the mighty Eben nemesis of the wee abs!

There is no fake news Herr Sitzsack, just a nice cold glass of perspective. Drink up, lekhayim!

One has to bear in mind who started this thread - he ahs no objective assessment ability.  He has been in an anti-De Allende campaign for years and has never been objective.  In this he has always had the support of Mozart, Pakie and Ceradunce.  The four of them are really fake news experts.

The whole story is a repeat of what he wrote in the past and ibn many ways untrue.   The make it worse Mozart claimed that they can see things which other world rugby experts cannot identify.   That leaves them open to advocate anything they want to and amounts to writing whatever junk they wish to and then claim that they are correct.   Not bad for guys with known agendas on site - only problem is they are known to lie and distort things on site,   

I came to a conclusion that we have to do here with a member to be ignored, because when he is proved to be a liar - he denied it after changing his original post.   Something in line with what Mozart has been an expert in.   

A liar? Who are you to call anyone a liar? You are proven wrong every day. You lie every day. You resort to personal attacks every day. I imagine you, red faced, giving yourself Chinese burns in frustration because you can't bully us into submission. 

Believe the truth, or don't believe the truth, it makes no difference. There's a wider audience than you. 

Go at what you wrote about playing at altitude and when pointed out it was wrong - you altered it and then claim you never made a mistake.   The altering and subsequent claim ended up as a lie, 

Not the first time it happened either,

Your nose grew another two inches. Are we going to cry to the mod about a hacking of the forum? 

No - I copied and paste what you wrote originally and you changed it - so why not admit that you were wrong and forgot about it?   Very bad example.
