I've been through this sort of stuff before so it doesn't worry me. But it was a little bit unnerving. By the time we came through the clouds, there wasn't much distance to the ground. Everyone would be comfortable with safety-first. |
I've known him for 12 to 15 months and he's a guy I like to have around. |
If we all did that, then there'd be no development of players and it would shrink the game. |
If you watch [the Cats] closely, there's more variety in how they play. In terms of the South African teams, they're one of the few sides that, for instance, kick off to different areas. They don't have some of the predictable aspects of some of the other teams ..w. And he [Rose] adds a bit of spark, and he's played that five-eighth role, so it won't be foreign to him. Certainly he looks to be a little bit different to the guy he's replaced, so in that sense there's a little less predictability there. |
If you're offended by what happened, take it up with the QRU. |
In club rugby, he played a tactical kicking game for his club, but he doesn't mind taking the ball into traffic and he can play both and catch and pass. And he's got that sleight of hand at the line where he might pass it and he might not. He's very good at using people around him to create opportunities for himself and for them, so hopefully he can display all of that on the weekend and a bit more. |
In the end I'm always going to try and sign the best players, |
It looks like we're dead and buried on that one, it seems like the dollar might have beaten us. I don't think we're in the ball park at all. Players only move for three things, the program, lifestyle or money. I'm sure the lifestyle is good, but I don't think too many of the guys over there have enhanced their Test prospects this year. |
It was a moment of madness, ... He plays hard but that wasn't like him at all. I think very highly of him and I'm sure he will have learnt a lesson. He has paid a high price, after making his debut against the All Blacks in Auckland [on September 3]. You would think he was a good chance to go on the Wallabies tour and, if not, he would have come with us to Europe. |

It was pretty difficult for him tonight, he didn't get too many chances with the ball, but he did defend well. |
It wasn't working out how we planned. |
It would be better to maybe put him into a position he is more comfortable with and with less calling requirements ? then inject him into the game in different ways. |
It'll give us another thing to think about, there's no question about that. |
It's a bonus to have Matt available, however the form of Benn Robinson in his absence could not be ignored. |
