yes, he is gud at what he does, that is choosing between passing to a forward on the burst, or spreading it along the line, half isnt really a tough position.....
I dont agree with that... Greegan is the best half back in the world. Im not just saying that there was proof in a news paper during the world cup in 03. It had stats on how long it took someone to pick the ball up and pass from the base of a ruck or scrum, greegan was the winner, it showed stats for who was the most accurate passer, and greegan was the winner and on top of that he makes good decisions and has more heart than any other player which shows in his courageous defence. So dont bag Georgie because hes the best in the business (other than Augustine Pichot the Argentinian Halfback), and we are lucky to have him. That being said, i cant wait to see whitts get a go in half back.

and tuquiri is at times very gud, but then wen u need him, he will drop a ball stone cold,....
i agree with that... Tuquiri, as i have said before = overated.

Back to Augustine Pichot..... What an amazing player, he is better than greegan in choosing options, equally as good a passer but maybe not as quick a passer. But i bet most people have never heard of him. If you get a chance to watch him play, do so and be mesmerized. LOL sounds like im Chris "Buddha" Handy talking about the wallabies.

Yeah I've seen him play a few times and like you said he is really good. Though I don't think you can compare his decision-making to Greeg's coz he's never played at the elite level. On a side note, he will miss the rest of the S12 season but should be almost recovered before the International season.

im still of the opinion chris whittaker is the best halfback around and would make the starting lineup of any other international side bar perhaps argentina now, since france dont have a decent halfback either.

Whit's is like Stuart Macgill, around at the wrong time and always playing second fiddle even though he can walk into any international side(probaly not the all blacks with Justin Marshall).

Best SH i reckon are :
1. Justin Marshall
2. George Gregan
3. Chris Whittaker
4. Augstin Pichot
5. Byron Kelleher / Van der whestheizen back in the days

We had our chances in that last 20 mins, to score that 4th try.

Can someone explain to me how the Crusaders are gonna get the final at home?

yeah, crusaders won wit bonus point wit 6 tries whilst the tahs shudda scored bout the same but for some fuked up reason decided 2 go 4 goals when down close?? hewatt so close 2 gettin intercepts near the end, geez...

anyway, now we all cheer on huever the crusaders play and if they win and the tahs get up as we all know they will, then we still get home grand final...

i think the crusaders got hurracanes again...i reckon the hurracanes are one of the only teams that could knock off the crusaders and if they did we would get the home final....

hmm......but.....

in true time, it was a blatant knock on, hewatt gave himself away, he played at the ball, and if it was the other way we would hav bitched, but yeah, with the technology, go to the try, bring it back and have a look.....
