[QUOTE="ABs2011, post: 749810, member: 57663"] We just see things a little differently I guess. Regarding Arg - I was re-confirming the point that an earlier poster made (which you seemed unfamiliar with) that Arg were easy beats at some points in time, albeit before your time by the sounds. Not saying they were always easy beats or that they didn't compete at times (I did watch that draw), But if you don't consider 93 - 8 an easy beat I'm not sure this discussion will go much further. Just filling you in on the state of the game before you were watching is all! Regarding how the ABs are tracking - Look I'm not saying that I don't have concerns, I don't think anybody is are they? Nor am I saying I am dismissing any of their performances (you have a habit of putting words in peoples mouths by the way). What I am saying is that this team under Hansen has a pretty darn good record, so to say they have to pull something out of no-where is a little dismissive of what they have achieved don't you think? This team under Hansen has lost only 3 of 47, they have held the Bledisloe for the duration of Hansen's tenure, they have won the RC in all but this last year (arguably the one that means the least), have had an undefeated season etc etc, the list goes on. It's perhaps one of the best records of all time. It's not like they have to pull something out of the bag to start winning games right! Look, like you whilst I back my own opinion and analysis of the game, at some point you have to be a little humble and respect the records of a great team and a great coaching staff and give them the benefit of the doubt that they may in fact know what they are doing - don't you think? I mean if you knew more than them then it would be you getting paid the big bucks wouldn't it? ;) We are nothing more than arm chair critics - unless you are Jamie Joseph in disguise! [/QUOTE]
