Rebels recruitment team have done some great work early to be able to get the best possible talent on the market, wish my Reds would do the same!

With the Brumbies now out are we expecting a wallabies squad announcement today?

Feel like Petaia in a tough selection spot - his versatility means that he offers the most value at 23 but I think he offers game breaking ability at 14 without the errors and defensive liabilities of Wright and Nawaqanitawase

Via Socials (Samu Kerevi’s IG) looks like the bulk of the wallabies squad has formed on the Gold Coast already - looks like LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) is included also

Think we should definitely look at bringing BPA home - still convinced he’s the best hooker in the country. Bring Hockings back and look to tempt Louis Lynagh to join his brother at home and push for wing depth. I’d also look to try recruit Perese home if there’s a shuffle incoming at NSW with...

Wondering if Eddie might go similar to his England pack and play big bodies like Holloway at 4 and a big body at 6, don’t hate the idea as frost might be a bit small for some international match ups. 4. Holloway 5. Skelton 6. LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto)/Gleeson/Leota 7. Mcreight 8. Valetini

For me it’s settled that Porecki, Faessler and Fainga’a in that order should be our 3 hookers picked

Think the draft is being pushed by Australia for content for Private Equity purposes and more commercial revenue streams - agree it doesn’t work in theory. The eligibility would change the whole landscape of super rugby and instantly bring the comp back into relevance to make under performing...

https://www.planetrugby.com/news/new-zealand-open-to-nfl-style-draft-system-in-super-rugby-pacific Draft System picking up steam but more importantly, the eligibility where New Zealand players would still be eligible for the All Blacks playing for any team in Super Rugby. This is hands down the...

Agree I think Eddie will value wingers with genuine size and ones that are freak athletes

Think it’s currently understated that our backline is a genuine strength for the first time in years - threats everywhere. 9. White 10. QC (Quade Cooper) 11. Korobiete 12. Kerevi 13. Ikitau 14. Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) 15. Wright Kellaway to potentially slide in either at 14 or 15 depending on form.

Do we have any word on if the wallabies squad will be announced this Sunday? Media has been tight lipped about when we get our first real squad - saw QC (Quade Cooper) post on his instagram that he was joining the squad next week.

https://www.planetrugby.com/news/eddie-jones-clarifies-comments-after-hinting-at-departure-following-rugby-world-cup To erase any doubt - Eddie well and truly committed to the wallabies long term with eyes only to this World Cup

I would have forgot Vunivalu was out there if it wasn’t for him missing his last 3 tackles

Forward pass??? Am I watching the same game as this ref

Ollie Hoskins would be a good get with London Irish folding to solve our prop depth - need to get more genuine first class experience in the squad

Bit concerned about the reds lack of eyes to next season - who is genuinely in play for us to sign ? Hockings would be a great get, along with a starting quality THP and a workhorse second row/6 type and depth in the backs

https://amp.smh.com.au/sport/rugby-union/waratahs-lock-down-golden-gleeson-as-donaldson-heads-west-20230531-p5dcva.html Gleeson resigns to 25 and Donaldson and Harris shown the door

https://amp.smh.com.au/sport/rugby-union/waratahs-lock-down-golden-gleeson-as-donaldson-heads-west-20230531-p5dcva.html Donaldson and potentially Harris to the force. Great to see the depth of this force squad building but definitely a blow to Pasitoa’s development

1. Slipper 2. Porecki 3. AAA 4. Frost 5. Skelton 6. Holloway 7. McReight (big pack allows to attack breakdowns + best support player - offloads off Skelton) 8. Valetini 9. White 10. Cooper 11. Korobiete 12. Kerevi 13. Ikitau 14. Nawaqanitawase 15. Kellaway 16. Faessler 17. Bell 18. Thor 19...
