Just pulling the injury updates and details out of this - it's a pretty bleak picture:
Flook - torn hamstring (off the bone), season ender
Faessler - torn hamstring (bad), likely season ender
Nasser - remains injured but unclear details
Blake - syndesmosis, possible season ender
Fuck didn't know about Faessler, pretty important for the Wallabies.

Would it? Just because he's practised catching an NFL ball?

If we were putting together a side for this my radar would be going to our unreal Touch Football players who can stop on a dime and change direction. This gimmick sport is about instant speed and stepping or get up real high for a catch.

Some in 7s may be looked at otherwise just find the blokes who can jump the highest and have off the mark speed like Toole.

Interesting point. We certainly don’t need size for flag and any rugby or league player is held back by this. They may look fast on the rugby field and they are fast but not compared to a skinny guys with hops. TRL, Ultimate Frisby, maybe even beach volleyball would be where I would look for athletes not already playing flag.

Touch and Oztag comps. Who even needs a QB. You are allowed to lateral pass still. Funny if we just turned it into touch footy.

There will be a lot of sensitive hurt feeling amongst the people that play the sport in Aus at the thought of being looked past which is always funny.

Anyways gone way off the Reds now.

Javelin throwers for QB. I would unashamedly love QC (Quade Cooper) for Aus QB but only because I admire him so much. Is he even any good to be anointed so early.

Have Quade has a bloody cannon.

I've forgotten when it was but he threw it across the field to an open Davies/Digby over his head mid game year ago.

What I saw involved a reverse flick pass across half the field exactly to the receiver. WHo knows how many times they tried before striking home, but impressive all the same.

My mistake it was 3 years ago in Japan. Christ covid has destroyed my brain and sense of time.
