I’m actually referring to his kicking in general play… it was a step down from the other candidates.

Yeah, there's a bit of Tate McDermott there in that he has some good attacking attributes... But obviously a lot more is needed to be a successful flyhalf... and kicking is definitely one of those important skillsets that is a must... and he had a pretty poor year before his departure.

He has some talents, but lacked a lot of the skills needed to be a test flyhalf and this quote from the article might also apply to rugby... His best test was easily when he filled in at inside centre against Argentina. Considering we've lost Lolesio, and Lynagh's health is up in the air, it...

Is this Carter Gordon a better player than the one that left? If not, he's hardly a walk up starter for the Wallabies...

Jorgensen would have to be up there, but I'd say Wilson and McReight are probably the favourites along with Ikitau... The votes also come from last year's spring tour, so Valetini might have a strong start to the voting before dropping off this year.

How’s that? Do you think Rugby Australia dictate Channel 9’s programming? Strange take…

Waugh wants the Rugby Championship locked in as a regular event post 2027, and potentially shifted to February/March… https://www.theroar.com.au/2025/10/03/exclusive-waughs-u-turn-in-bid-to-cash-in-on-rugby-championships-success-shift-to-february-mooted/

That’s not true… you actually can - I checked the rules.

Bell is being rested after injuring his rib and aggravating it at training on Tuesday.

Yeah, because for whatever reason he has, and we don't yet know why...
