DHP and Burton re-signed. Announced on facebook.

We need to pick up wins in the Republic and we are quite good at that.

I think there is enough talent in the backs to win more games. Godwin should be 12, he is flailing at 13 and looks clueless in defence. Burton at 15 worked. He genuinely looked good. Brache at 13 would be a good move but then Rasolea and Godwin did so well there last year. DHP back soon? He...

I like a good bash of the ARU as much as the next man. But I understand that the deal with Sarries had been made some time ago, certainly before Longbum came into the Wallaby equation. We cant go and throw money at everyone who has promise.

So how does the Force stack up for the coming season. Last year was probably the best season they have ever had. Granted the ladder position wasn't that much better than the late 2000s, but I think depth and playing style were certainly better and I felt they were more competitive. Props...

Cowen Charles Faulkner Wykes Coleman Cottrell Hodgson McCalman Matheson Ebersohn Cummins Godwin Rasolea Morahan DHP Tessman Hoskins Heiburg Steen lamp Stander Prior Holmes Brache Or something like that. We need some more props in the roster.

Speight had a poor EOYT. At international level he is not ahead of Cummins. JOC (James O'Connor) is a wing to compliment Cummins not compete with him. They play different positions. Folau is a fullback. He can play wing but the two aren't competing for a spot. Mitchell and Ioane don't play in Australia and are...

Sias Ebersohn re-signed until 2017

Getting on the Sean McMahon bandwagon is dangerous. Thats why i am on the Ross Haylett-Petty bandwagon. You need to get on these things early.

Foley and Cooper both attack the line. They keep defenders on their toes. Kuridrani is able to draw multiple players and open space. That lends itself to a stepper 12 as opposed to a bashed 12. Equally, with the exception of the Rebels our super sides have done the same. To'omua for me sits too...

Hmm. No. Giteau was a great player. He wasn't a great flyhalf. I can still remember his performance against the Boks in 2006 (49-0). As a playmaker in the 12 jersey between Larkham and Mortlock he was a success. The post I quoted before suggested that we hadn't had any successes with a play...

Really? Giteau played there in mid 2000s and gunned it. It was only when he went to 10 that he went South. Horan was a fly half conversion too, and like Godwin couldn't play 10 once he moved.

So we have To'omua, Beale, Godwin. That is a reasonable depth. Out on the wing we are short. Speight, To'omua, Cummins, Horne, ???

My understanding is that players only get a top up after two years of being a Wallaby. This was the reason Ben Mowen left. I would assume the same would apply to the Badger. He would get his top up after his second season in the squad.

Any word on how he went?

White was a million miles away from MOTM.

Ben Lucas would be great. I like Turner but I dont want him coming West, he is too injury prone and we have been burned in that regard in the past.

So who are we linked to for next year? I have heard Lachie Turner and Ben Lucas, but anyone useful?

One win better

Right, need to go one better next year!
