This is exactly the time a lot of super guys take a quick break if they've missed wallabies selection. They can't take it all super season and if they still want to push for Wallabies selection later in the season they need to be playing then. Clearest air you get is immediately after missing a...

Christy Doran is reporting that Foketi missed Shute this weekend because of annual leave, not a Wallabies request.

Foketi withdrawal may not have been Wallabies related at all, Doran is reporting it was annual leave:

He went well, but Paisami, Henry, Flook and arguably Stewart were all better than him over that period.

Apparently Walton has been called into the squad:

Looks like Foketi was held back because Ikitau is injured: https://www.theroar.com.au/2024/06/30/exclusive-wallabies-star-injured-schmidt-slims-squad-ahead-of-wales-opener-as-reds-duo-miss-out/ Apparently Harry Wilson and Ryan Smith have also left the camp. Wilson makes sense given he wasn't...

We absolutely did not. The blues beat us with an 81st minute, 50m try in what was a very close game.

35-11 with a bonus point win to Australia is a good result, but those injuries to Barret and Alatini are really going to hurt our chances in the tournament. Also a likely suspension for Cordukes.

Hospital's cup was on a full round bye this weekend, there literally weren't the games to release a lot of these guys to.

In fairness there are only like 3 or 4 wallabies squad members attached to Shute shield clubs. 25% of them getting a release to play club is pretty good.

Kurtley Beale injured playing for Randwick today: https://x.com/ChristypDoran/status/1806937731559506152?t=B-Qr1w-W8P3hlvD52ap8iQ&s=19 Had to be helped from the field. Looks unlikely to be available for at least this game, though the fact that he was playing for Randwick probably suggests he...

Could be Hough after he was unsighted this season, would be tragic for someone so young and promising. Possibly Proctor as well given his horror run this year and being on the wrong side of 30.

Problem has been getting size into the starting line up - the backline we were running of McDermott, Lynagh, Ryan, Paisami, Flook, Grealy, Campbell did lack size and with Petaia and Henry injured, Vunivalu not up to it and Annan still on the rise we were slim on options. Getting a genuine big...

I'm not sure any assurances about a PE deal injecting more finance into the game is any sort of legal argument to cover the directors from trading insolvent, certainly not for trading insolvent for multiple years.

It might be to do with RA top ups given he's in this fringe space where he has just pushed back into the squad. Could be they offered something on a one year deal only or alternatively he thinks he can really prove his value in a Lions year, either to RA or overseas squads. 32 at the world cup...

My understanding is that while the tahs want Leota, he wants to go to the Reds. Really difficult to see him fitting into the Reds line up as it stands though, particularly if Salakaia-Loto comes in. Would probably need Liam Wright to depart and I'd rather see the Reds hang onto him (and expect...
