I wondered that myself when I saw the 'no chance' comment earlier. I didn't say anything as I wasn't sure if I had missed something

I’ve been out all day, when I jumped on this thread and saw 6 new pages I thought something exciting must have happened at RA.

Is Ardie Reece related to Sevu?

Yeah I’ve warmed a bit to Dan after the comments subsequent to mine. I’d still rather Cheika though.

Yeah ok. Maybe Thor starts then

I am actually a bit miffed by the pessimism around our front row. As long as the likely 6 top contenders stay fit I don’t see any issues at all, against any team in the world. I will however add that Billy Pollard is the weak link, but I think he will be fine off the bench against Wales and...

I was talking to his parents last weekend and Tim still looks incredibly fit, like he was still playing for the Wallabies despite that being near on 30 years ago. Even though he is ‘only’ 6’5 the bloke is fucking ginormous, we’d kill to have someone of that physical stature and talent running...

Yeah I agree as well. Open selection might raise its head soon, but for the near future I’m happy to stick with the 3 max O/S picks and for the administration to sell the message that unless you do your time and are close to world class you aren’t going to be wearing a gold jersey.

I’ll leave it alone now but just with this closing comment. I personally wouldn’t have selected him like many others, but once you examine the depth of the squad, backs in particular, you can see the logic in it. And if the bloke that was somehow able to integrate the socially, politically...

No but popular and 95 test caps isn’t a bad start.

He isn’t popular amongst the GAGR community but by all accounts is very popular with the players. Do a search on it, it’s not just me saying it.

Well they are heroes around Glasgow at least. A bit like that Irish lock was a hero around Clovelly last year, along with all the other Randwick players. I’m not entirely sure that a couple of Aussie players winning the Scottish club comp is properly expressing the point you are trying to make.

I was probably being a bit hard on him but I didn’t like the style he brought to the Brumbies. Despite the fact they were winning they were one trick ponies and it was boring as to watch. He then tried to take that to the Wallabies and it didn’t work because the opposition knew every time we...

No, that’s what I’m saying - i didnt word it the best with a double negative, I’ll rephrase it.

What he actually said was that he generally isn’t a fan of wasting valuable training time with gym work, but JYD is someone that needs to visit it a bit more regularly. I could be wrong but my interpretation was that he wasn‘t sending him off to the gym to improve his beep test.

We don’t have the personnel for an effectIve rolling maul so Dans not the man. If he gets appointed I think I’ll become a Queenslander.

If you look at the ‘development‘ team I posted a few pages back it’s not hard to see why Kurtley is in the squad, we literally have no depth in our backs. If we are down by a point with 5 to go against Wales and have to send a player on I’d back Beale to get us home more than the junkyard dog...
