If Gill is deemed good enough to be picked in the wallaby team/squad he should be. The JWC is important but wallaby duties overrule all else.

I expect the Bryce Lawrence facebook petition to cop a few hundred more likes after this afternoons game. Congrats to the crusaders on a great grinding win. Higginbotham deserves to be the one of the first players written down into the starting team come june.

You can add Phil Kite to that team list at prop . Many had big wraps on him at schoolboy level but a run of injuries have kept him down.

So from the original list in the OP, James Hanson - Yet to re-sign Greg Holmes - Yet to re-sign Ed Quirk - Yet to re-sign Scott Higginbotham - believed to have re-signed Will Genia - Re-signed Ben Lucas - Re-signed Quade Cooper - Yet to re-sign Ben Tapuai - Yet to re-sign Dom Shipperley -...

I dont think salary caps work in competitions like this where there are teams from more than one country involved. Same with player drafts.

Good to see some blokes from WA, ACT and VIC in the squad. I dont know how crook is considered a NSW product, but it must be due to him being in the NSW academy or something. I think it's a pretty strong side and they will put up a good fight, should make it to the semis.

It will be a strong side but I doubt full strength. Few new faces in the uni team stepping up from their champion colts team of last year.

To be fair to the director, I was saying the same things to my tv screen....

Why doe's bryce keep getting big games? He is obviously not up to it. It just looks bad for rugby.

Why don't the rebels go after buddy franklin or even better, Cyril Rioli? That would sure put some bums on seats at the stockade.

The box kick is only utilized when McCabe is the only back ready to receive the ball. The reason being that it is better to lose possession 20 meters down the field than a few meters behind the game line when McCabe gets gang tackled and turned over due to his poor body height.

He can halt a wallaby back line with his presence alone......

They should spend their money on a decent coaching team. Not just a decent head coach, but a decent coach in every position from the top down to the force A team.

Qld didnt increase their offer. Will choose to stay because he could face being in a bad team environment and not enjoying his rugby.

I would be good for the force to put faith in the players they have produced and developed like Turner, Godwin, Longbottom etc.

He has never been a half back and it is no surprise to many that his career has flourished since moving to 5/8 and fullback.

I wonder if the player review was over will genia's box kicking?

I don't think he will be big enough to play super rugby. Sevens is his niche IMO. More than willing to be proven wrong as always though.

Just saw that in the other thread. It really is a bad time to lose a halfback.

Even with frisby and lucas we still need a third halfback for depth reasons. I said it earlier but prior is worth bringing back from the brumbies.
