With everyone pushing their own favorite 10, it's pretty clear none have really announced themselves as a test quality 10. Like some here I would have probably given Donaldson a bit more exposure, but I don't think he really stands out from the others. Carter Gordon looked like our best 10...

3. Wilson 2. Jorgensen 1. Gordon

What happened to Smith? Has he gone somewhere?

How old is Rob Simmons? Seems to have been about for decades!

Not that concerned about Edmed. He's certainly not the answer at 10 we are looking for, and won't put any fear in the hearts of the opposition, but he's solid. He makes his tackles, has got a pretty fair boot and won't make any silly mistakes. While he doesn't have Lynagh's ceiling, he won't be...

Great quote from JAS about captain Wilson 'I want to play for him'. We were all a little surprised when Joe picked Harry as captain, but I think he might have got this one right.

I really doubt any Tahs fan genuinely thinks Walton is a Wallaby prospect. A really honest player who gives everything, but I think Super rugby is his ceiling.

We look pretty light on for 6/8!

It makes good sense to play JAS at 13 with either O'Donnell or Walton at 12, whoever's showing the better form. That way you've got Potter on a wing, and Jorgo and Kellaway at wing and fullback, in either order.

Not sure how you group Bowen with that group. Donaldson and Meredith are both 26, Edmed 24, whereas Bowen is 21 and at a completely different stage of his development to the others.

Can understand Jack Grant moving on, he'll be 31 next season and clearly will be number 3 behind Gordon and Wilson, wheras White retiring gives him a bit of an opening at the Force

Horton is a pretty good footballer, just a bit small and as a result not a great scrummager. Even if we go with him, however, I think history would show you really need four hookers in your squad.

I see Creighton as a sound Super 10/15 without being spectacular, and hopefully I'm wrong but at 25 that may be all he's ever going to be. Bowen, as I said in my earlier posts, has plenty to work on, but from what I've seen and the fact he's only 21 suggests there is a fair bit more improvement...

Yes, a bit off thread, but he, Cooper and Beale were all young superstars at the time who, for a variety of reasons, simply weren't equipped to handle it.

I would like to see them give Bowen a fair bit of time. He has a lot to work on before he becomes the real deal, but he plays close to the line, is always looking to put players into holes, can be an attacking threat and isn't frightened to defend in the line. His kicking game needs a lot of...
