RM is a far better defensive player than D Mac who at times appears to be a hole to be run through. It is all well and good to do the flashy stuff on attack but to then throw wayward interceptable passes leading to opposition try scoring opportunities will cost games in the long run. DM has amazing individual skills but it is a team game.
1 The foot paths beyond the inner city are not fit for this purpose. Council will be held responsible for negligence.2. We have cut down the speed in the city for some inexplicable reason and now will speed up the footpaths!3. Add this to Wilson Parking as another reason to avoid inner city.
Travelled to the Naki especially to visit the LL Gallery. The lack of Lyes work gave lie to the naming of the impressive exterior. Would not recommend a road trip to NP unless there was more to see and do which at times I know can happen. Otherwise dont bother!
As a long time arthritis pain sufferer I can strongly recommend cannabis as a pain relief medication. A couple of puffs before attempting sleep works wonders and allows those around me to be treated civilly during the day. I dont know if it has social benefits as I only ever use it solo but I know there will be social consequences if anyone looks too closely. Regulate its use for formative brains but please allow us grumpy oldies the right to self medicate!
A favourite spa tub stop while travelling from SI. Nice soft water and self controlled heat setting. I have yet to see the geyser spouting although it is a way to spend an hour.
The strength of the ABs has been the commitment to teamwork. One individual playing his own game can severely undermine that cohesion, especially if he is in a key position like first five. Nuff said!
DMac is a great utility who can bring his individual brilliance to many positions in the back line but seriously doubt he is an effective controller of the game as BB and RM. Impact fresh legs at best but not a team leader.
Dmack throws too many interceptable passes. He is fantastic in broken play but his outside backs will never feature while he was tested so much ball. I dont think he is big enough to be an effective tackeler in the 10 channel. Having said all that he did have his best game under the roof last week. We really need to see Richie Mo getting a start with Smith at 9 to see how a fully developed 10 can run a game.
Thank goodness he is so little....otherwise the opposition would have a bigger hole to run through! Not a link man nor a defender....just a free spirit running wild!
Inexperience? I was taught not to pull stunts like that in my own 25 before I was able to tie my boots up. He has been judged by the gods to be one of the top players on the country....no wonder grass roots rugby is struggling if this is the cream of the crop!
The area of land on which the houses were built is very close to the area of land existing before the houses were constructed. The problem must therefore be the amount of rain?
He is a showey flash in the pan. Any sensible opposition will run through the hole he creates and hold those intercept balls with delight. Fantastic individual broken play runner but not a team contributor.
The man, his ark, and the council
Looks like the DCC is very busy with boat/house inspections along with tree house/building code violations all the while avoiding the potholes!
