Perese would be after more money than they could probably afford, especially considering they signed Sua'ali'i and likely marked him for outside centre. With Foketi, Walton and Sua'ali'i in the centres, we probably have adequate coverage there and can look for depth beyond that (especially if Wilson...

I think it’s more a reflection that the Waratahs didn’t want to resign him.

We are in trouble here.

He’s been doing way before Eddie.

We need to move on from Nic White- he’s not in good form and he’s had a decade of letting us down in big games. He’s pretty talented but overplays his hand to our detriment.

Coleman has had ample opportunity- he’s had three years to develop and shape the team. Whilst I appreciate injuries and the impact that can have on cohesion, collectively and individually we haven’t shown much improvement (apart from Joey Walton).

I’m not sure there’s actually a reason apart from the fact that the team isn’t able to create opportunities to get him the ball with space. Hes clearly been told that workrate is important so out of frustration and necessity he‘s spending a lot of at the breakdown. One positive is that he...

Thought this was a very enjoyable game and the Waratahs played well in places but were probably outclassed man for man. What’s happened to Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) though? Have we overrated him from one strong season? His decision making in attack is atrocious and actually strange- I’m not convinced he...

Tongan Thor should play 12 you reckon Marce?

He’s erratic sure but so our plenty of Union players. Assuming consistency he’d be fantastic at 13.

Marce have a look at the performances of Sam Burgess or Tepai Meoroa while you’re orgasming over rugby league forwards playing crash ball center in Union. In saying that there are definitely league players who would be elite backs in Union, and its not Justin Olam (a 12/13 centre combination of...

I don’t know where to start with this.

Incorrect- the Waratahs aren’t a representative side; they are a professional franchise. They selected their seventh string prop to play 20 minutes against the Melbourne Rebels- let’s not get too hysterical.

Will be great for team culture.

This isn’t it.

I watched Gordon pretty closely over the weekend to see the extent that he ‘overplays his hand’ and for the first 30 minutes at least he played no differently to any other halfback in this competition. He connected directly with Edmed plenty of times and the structure was typical if not simple...

How good has Ravai been by the way!? He‘s been one of, if not the, best player all season.

Your exact statement said was that a fly-half who can’t kick has ‘no business in any Wallaby squad’, so I’d say it’s directly relevant. Gordon isn’t even that bad at kicking- he’s probably going to make the squad.

You know Larkham couldn’t kick goals so I don’t buy this ‘fly-half must be the squads best kicker’ business. Also doesn’t Gordon play golf of scratch? That suggests that given enough (injury free) time, he’s likely to be a decent kicker.

Just finished the game and have a few differing observations: - Backrow (and reserves) played tough and aggressive, but I think we’re missing a loose forward with more rugby nous and linking ability. Holloway has it but it can be limited playing in the second row. - I wouldn’t say that Edmed and...
