Second row stocks are a bit iffy but besides that a very exciting looking team

Only 10 signatures atm. Are the force sitting on announcements or something?? I don’t see any reason why they would but it seems really weird that at this stage there are only 10 players that have put pen to paper

Yea I’d agree for school footy, it’s very structured to the point where you can get in trouble for doing something out of the ordinary/a bit risky I’d consider club and rep footy below state level to be really unstructured though and does foster better decision making and skills. Small example...

I’d agree with what you’re saying although from my experience, nearly all the footy kids bar the boarders play club and rep footy up to and including u16’s, and many tack on league as well. I think the school “barring” kids from playing is greatly overstated, I remember even our scholarship kids...

do our assistants actually NEED to be fulltime assistant coaches for the wallabies? I don't know the answer for this but if not.....Why not have a fulltime head coach then super rugby coaches as assistants, i know its been semi-done before but didn'tstick with it Gibson - attack Thorn -...

Not personal at all aye haha I wouldn’t advocate for him to be out and out coach but what harm does RA cause in getting him in and saying “what do you think” if they like what they hear give him a consultant role of some description. We are at the point now where we need any help we can take...

Hahaha that sounded immensely personal but fair enough I’d also say his radio show ratings would suggest he isn’t as universally despised as you would like him to be All I’m saying is I for one, would at least be interested in what he had to say........let’s leave it at that

Kinda seems like you’re letting some personal bias cloud your judgement I also happen to think he is fairly switched on and MAY provide some valuable insight, enough to warrant some level of consideration

Their back depth is amazing, well sorted if wallabies are rested throughout the season. Gee I hope the forwards can stand up

Potential game changer for the wallabies And a blow for wrr, he was supposed to be one of their marquees. Or is it possible to play both?

We have the forward pack to get that front foot ball, just need to select non-powder puffs in the second row and a balanced back row, put that with Kerevi, Kuridrani, Koroibete crashballing when needed and cooper should (hopefully) have all the time he needs

Good one hero it’s a forum, they are full of opinions, including yours there’s no fact behind what you’re saying either “oh oh oh but 5 of our wallabies went overseas once so it can work if we lose 50-100” “oh but it worked in South Africa that’s the same as Australia right” I can’t prove what...

How in the world of gods green earth am I supposed to prove that to you, it’s never happened before, it’s an OPINION. And don’t say South Africa, cause you’ll just sound stupid So theoretically, our best 100 or so players go overseas, you still think that will be to the betterment of...

Ah the sanctimonious high road, love it As for Te’o tell us how he could have played for the wallabies unless he had a super rugby contract? Either no club wanted to offer him one or they did and the offer wasn’t good enough, either way went to England became ineligable through world rugby...

Now you’re just being dramatic, yea it’s not in a good place right now but getting rid of all our star power isn’t going to help that at all, in the slightest. How would your development pathways work if all the super rugby teams closed up shop? Surely you’re not completely blind to the...

Because instead of the 100+ being a spread of top level to pretty ordinary players all of a sudden a hell of a lot more of our best players will head overseas, leaving us with the lower level players meaning an inferior domestic comp meaning why the fuck would I bother watching super rugby? If...

I don’t mind it either but it’s a very big change in tactics when To'omua won’t be free till towards the end of super and in the meantime you’ll have Naivalu, English, meakes possibly hodge filling that role very different skill sets

And I’m challenging that comment and saying there isn’t? What number of “quality” players overseas do you think warrants destroying our domestic competition? Also you went from “we need to pick overseas players” to “we need to select overseas players but there will be some sort of criteria”...

There’s not that many, I’d literally take fardy, McMahon, Gill, Mowen and possibly Skelton from that list....and there’s not “a heap of others” only other two names i can think of that would be considered is white and O’conner. 5 odd players that would make a wallaby extended squad is not worth...

I was about to ask the same thing, there would be a handful if that, who would make the wallabies squad. Not enough to warrant butchering our flimsy hold on super rugby
