Threequarters

Subject: Threequarters Sat May 14, 2011 10:22 pm

Thought todays threequarters were top class and could well be first choice for a while, barring injuries.

Jerry - top notch
Wardle - solid in both defence and attack
Bruno - much improved
Leroy - looks better on the wing (deffo not a full back)

Was thinking the same myself after the game.

Jerry will get frustrated with Wardle as his centre.

Just my opinion.

Subject: Re: Threequarters Sat May 14, 2011 10:31 pm

Wardle is still young and will hopefully continue to improve and therefore give Jerry plenty of good ball. Still when you think we could have Hodgson and Simpson pushing these four, the squad does look good.

And for anyone not from Australia JudgeB is talking about the wing.

(Centre and Winger)

Yeah Wardle will get better and better the more games he plays.He's a talent no doubt about that.

That has always been Leroys best position, Down that side particularly looked good yesterday, with Gillmoure playing well apart from the one pass that went forward into touch. The will win more than they loose if they can hold that sort of form.

Wardle has a hamstring injury apparently so thats 3 people in the squad with this issue. Faalogo and LOD are the others.

Need some of that insulation tape up backs of their legs, works wonders for the Aussie and kiwis, needs to be black though. confused

I was asking why they did that, and a physio i know said that with the tape going up the leg you can feel when you are over stretching as the tape pulls on the skin.... I may have that wrong but im sure thats the reason, to stop people over doing it.

He is wrong, it pulls the skin away from the muscle and apparently makes it less likely to get cramp.

Very presumptive that it was a male physio Gem... No she is not wrong, there are multiple uses for taping. the single strip of tape helps with proprioception, the multiple strips of tape help with stopping a muscle move too freely, or to compress the muscle in the acute stage of injury plus many more i'm sure. i wasn't talking about bandaging, but a single strip.
