Robbo spends two minutes speculating about whether it really is a calf or something else, then says he’s happy to take Lyon on his word that it’s a calf injury, then says hes hearing other things, then says that its just an injury, then says it’s probably more, then says he accepts what Freo say then says he’s not sure.

Given he’s racked the pool cue at round 8 and put half the list on ice for the rest of the year, I think it’s fair to say there’s going to be a pretty big cull at the end of the year.
Biggest problem is that they seem to have so much dead wood to get rid of, on top of a dozen guys eligible for their pension who should probably retire
Man I love Ross Lyon. He should run football. Would set all the rules the way he wants and then tell anyone who questions them to nick off. No more “canvassing the fans”, etc.
The other thing is - where do you draw the line at tanking?
I'd say Barlow was dropped because Lyon knows he won't be around in 5 years when they're next most likely to challenge for a flag
I actually think this is the correct response. It’s the old “rich” paradox.
If I give a man with no money $1, then another, then another, and continue forever, at what point is he rich?
If you look at how you’d approach a grand final, then take that back a half step, then another, then another, at what point are you tanking?

Sounds pretty spot on Allblack. Agree that during H&A they will still be a force & probably finish top 4, especially with their fortress at Patersons. Seems this year more than last few they will be relying on a few individuals , depth has diminished.
