Hobbiteau: Not Part of The Fellowship of 9

June 4th 2007 05:12
Answer me this.

If Matt Giteau does not want to play at #9 (Scrumhalf)....not just because he can't, but also becase...he can't......then why the hell do these freakin' idiot selectors insist on placing him in this position and making themselves look like fools?

Do yourselves a favour gentlemen. Quit while Gregan's ahead.

...c'mere little Hobbiteau...said the Orcs.....



Giteau runs out of desire for No.9 shirt
....I think it's the other way around...
"#9 shirt desires to run out of Giteau"


MATT Giteau would not be bothered if George Gregan took over as Test halfback. In fact, he would encourage it.

Listen dweeb...you encouraging Gregan is like a space cadet encouraging a NASA veteran astronaut.
So far off base...


Giteau made it clear before heading to Perth yesterday that he would be delighted if he was allowed to return to inside centre, and be surrounded by his old Brumbies teammates. He is so accustomed to having Gregan, Stephen Larkham and Stirling Mortlock on each side of him.

Oh? Carrying him?
Bolstering him and making him look good?

And "delighted"?
What next? Cucumber sandwiches and Earl Grey tea?


"Maybe at halfback I went a step backwards last night," Giteau said. "Things definitely improved when George went to halfback, and I went back to inside centre. Everyone probably felt more comfortable with that, and with Stirling outside me, it was like the Brumbies of old.

"So that's what's probably best for the side, especially as George provides experience and direction."

The traitorous little donkey should not ever say Brumbies again. From wild horse to Force... he's a dead-eye...
At least he knows that Gregan and Larkham are Masters...and he's just a paduwannabe...

When Giteau took over as Test halfback during last year's end-of-season Wallabies tour of Europe, he immediately relished the new role. However, the stutters the Wallabies suffered in both Tests against Wales has prompted Giteau to have a re-think.

Prompted Giteau to have a rethink????
Let me think about this....hmmm...no, last I knew, it was the freakin' selectors and Coach who made the decision

"You have to do whatever is best for the side," Giteau said. "I can see what the selectors are trying to do at halfback. With quick ball, I can see why they want me there at halfback, but [in] the first two Tests I really haven't had much of an opportunity to do that."

Gee. And here I thought that a scrumhalf's job is to create opportunity....

Giteau admitted he had felt that he should consistently run from halfback, rather than always provide his backs with quick service, and that may have affected his game. After being a standout in the first Test, Giteau was far more reserved in Brisbane.

"There is probably a few things I'm doing wrong," Giteau said. "But the reason I thought I was there was to run a little bit more and be a threat. That doesn't necessarily mean I have to run all the time, because there are obviously times when I should be passing."

That's right Hobbiteau. It is a team game and it is a running game but what it mostly is you little dick, is a passing game!!!!

Inside centre and halfback are his two main playing options, but Giteau is also aware he may end up being the back-up five-eighth for Larkham at the World Cup.

"I've played a little bit there for the Force, and felt pretty comfortable there. If it happens, it happens. If it does happen, it would be disappointing because it means Bernie [Larkham] is injured again."

...and if that happens....there goes the World Cup. And not just for me.

Hiya JZ...

Yeah you're right...I have been holding back...I should just give free reign to how I really feel, shouldn't I?



...I actually detest smilies so I don't have the faintest idea why I keep using them!

Hope you're well Josh.

Hiya Ash.....Hiya Super Bunny!

My apologies for addressing you both together but seeing as you both commented on that little gem(?)...I thought I'd explain to you both why Hobiteau not passing really annoys me.

The whole point of a team sport is to not create individual glory hogs. It is the individual effort and individual brilliance that combines to form a winning juggernaut or phalanx.

The individual is there for the team...NOT the other way around.

Sure I go and on and on (and on...) about Larkyum BUT the difference between his individual brilliance and Hobiteau's individual bryl cream-iance is that Larkham never seeks the glory for himself.
He will happily offload the ball and take the brunt of the opposition's defence in order to secure the try (goal)...even if he could have scored.

Hobiteau only thinks of himself, not the team...not the Big Picture....which is fine if this was tennis...but it's not. It's a 15-person team sport and each person is there for a purpose.

I'm going now.
