Yeah Thomo has fallen from grace. After a pretty good S14 as well. This coaching cartel put very little currency in loyalty eh. It'll come back to bite em. What's Vito done?

This coaching staff seem to keep on favouring certain players.
As you know Redeye I'm a Wgtn & Canes supporter, but there's no way in hell Vito deserves to be in the squad, Thomo's work rate is far better than his.

Cowan needs a big game this saturday .
I would have kept Giteau at 12 ,
This whole ground saga is a massive embarassment for Mr Dick (o'neill) and Australian rugby , give them no more tests until International rugby teams can be given more respect

I think Cowen deserves his spot back.
I think we will win. Our forward pack is better. Man for man the only player the Aussies have that is better than his opposite is Elsom.
Cowen is another player they favour, Weepu would of been player of the match against the Boks, he was brilliant... therefore why the hell should Cowan start ahead of Weepu in this match ?
We should be far too strong for them in the forwards and pile on the points in the second half.
