We Need Rod, We Need Hugh, and We NEED TUNE

Right, so haven't been posting much lately - and their is a reason, the rugby has sucked and Rod has been injured.

Last week against the All Blacks we were quite terrible in patches- and I think we all know why.

We Need Rod

Shepardson is a good super 14 prop - but this is the big dance and we need our best Dancers - look no further then Rod Blake, unfortunatly this injury is not going away fast enough, but hopefully the Zone is back on deck for the Bledisloe in Bris Vegas in a fortnight - then in the Couldron we will see what those dirty Kiwi's are made of. Its been ten years since fucking Frank Bunce stole the game from us (with one of the best tries this blogger has ever seen) and it will be time for revenge.

We Need Hugh

Okay - so I agree with the whole four big line out jumpers thing, but you need the right personel. And we don't have it at the moment. Elsom is good, but patchy. Fava is solid at best, and chisholm is a second rower - no question. We need McMennimen from the Reddies- of course he is injured but when he comes good we need him as soon as possible. Just imagine a Smith, Roe/Elsom, McMennimen back row, with Heenan and Waugh on the bench to cover both the row and the loose trio - would be golden. It will come for the back five- they just need time.

We NEED TUNE

Who the fuck is Mark Gerrard???? Sure he can kick knuckles but who cares - get Tune out on the pitch, we need match winners, not solid finsihers. We have the most over rated man in rugby out in number 11 to finsih tries for us, we need our other two back three members (thanks the lord for Latham) to be create opurtunities. Look at Rupeni, Rockcokko (Two years ago), Gear and Sivavtu (You could throw Robinson, and Lomu in their if you want a bit of history to flavour it) the great wings aren't finishers- they create oppurtunities for themselves. Gerrard and Tiquiri never seem to create something out of nothing (despite what the press will say - Come up with something original Jim Tucker), and that's fine, but you can only afford to have one of those.
