Anybody else see Tecklenberg toss Lood back like a feather. I thought this guy is our enforcer.
And is there any poster except Dave and she's za who still thinks Coenie could be a tighthead test success. Van der Merwe dominated him.
So here's my problem with these player debates, and it's beautifully illustrated on this string.
Firstly I havent fully bought into the Lood hype. Not that I'm an atheist on this one....more of an agnostic. Watching him yesterday being comfortably handled by the Lions pack, I just can't see the raw horsepower that will have him succeed at top level. But he played well against two beaten NH packs. So I observe....but because I'm not chanting "Peron , Peron, Peron", I apparently 'hate" the lad.
Then there is the She's Za rant and this time I'm a weasel. Not that I mind that particularly, heaven knows I have been called worse:
"Weasels are bold and aggressive predators. They generally hunt alone, feeding principally on mice, voles, rats, and rabbits, but they also take frogs, birds, and bird eggs"
I kind of like that, but substitute a nice bit of salmon for the frog....I never was one who much went for the frog's legs.
Still what is the cause of the hissyfit....my claiming She'za is a Coenie supporter. Nope says cheezer I denounced him thrice. Sure. But how many, many posts did he make with Coenie as his pick. And how often wasn't I denounced for saying Coenie can't scrum. Insulted in fact.
So these young player groupies see some kid they like hype them to the heavens and lord help you if you don't agree. But then suddenly one day they abandon ship without so much as a by your leave.
When you see a youngster with potential next time....look at their weaknesses as well as their strengths. Because in 95% of cases, those flaws contain a fatal flaw that prevents them from being successful in tests.
Lood had another huge game and yeah right regarding v/d Merwe dominating Coenie.......that was a classic case of the ref completely cocking up his calls......let me guess, you were able to conclude that it was Coenie who was initiating the inward scrumming when it was clear for all the see that the inwards scrumming by both props was simultaneous.......but best of all was the ref confirming what an idiot he was by penalising v/d Merwe for scrumming inwards after Coenie was replaced.
That poor ref just confirmed his ignorance with that call against v/d Merwe.......or let me guess, maybe he, like you think that Coenie's replacement dominated v/d Merwe.......bwhaaahaaaaa
Geez you lot cannot even pick up the basics of the game
