He hasn't been that great in the last rounds of the season in my opinion. I look at Mowen and see a strong Super Rugby player in the same mould as Brown and McCalman (and we know the results of those selections), but who will never be able to make the step up to international level. Happy to...

So Lucas to 10 or Taps to 12? As good as Taps is, he is still returning from injury, and Harris hasn't been as good as Lucas at fly half. Thoughts?

I can't imagine he would be when Shipperely, Ioane and even Morahan are available. Plus Mitchell, Turner, Tomane, Cummins are all ahead of him in my opinion.

Taps is a better player then Harris. Whilst Harris has been playing well this season, Tapuai is a future Wallaby, and also our best performing back before he got injured. Prop depth is a worry for us. Holmes and Slipper are quality, but Daley does struggle, and its not like Anae or Shepherdson...

FrankLind you are about 18months late on this arguement.

Shatzie has been great form of late. If they went with a 17-13 squad split he'd be a chance. Given McCalmans injury, it'd be between him and Mowen (who hasn't been that great in the later half of the season), for that squad spot. I can't imagine either getting picked though.

Any of Pyle, Douglas, Wallace-Harrison or Neville need to be picked ahead of Timani. I suspect Shipperely will get a gig aswell considering the injuries to JOC (James O'Connor) and Tomane, along with just the averageness of Vuna. Has Mitchell done enough to be picked? Is Turner worth putting in?

You'd think that the yellow card was sufficient punishment. But I would not be suprised to see a 1 or 2 week ban. Fingers crossed he gets off

I really rated Caldwell, would be very good to see him back. Did he ever get a Wallaby cap? He went on a tour didn't he? Or am I thinking of someone completely different (Al Kanaar?)

Greg Riley has over a 100 for Easts, it takes a long bloody time.

Why is this an issue to you? The quality of football has improved, and most of us on here would agree with that. And I don't know about 100 gamers but there are plenty of older guys running around (ie: Greg Riley, Kruikelis, Brandon, Price ect)

Ever thought that these younger players are in the teams over the older guys because they are BETTER!? Sheeesh

Mate, you're not lying! Been brilliant this year, no longer the top/bottom 5 split between sides.

Anyone care to actually talk about the game instead of bullshitting around? Looks like Simmo, Gilly and Ioane are all fit to play.

Normally I don't like 1 yer deals, but in this case I'm fine with it. Chibba has strong ambition to become the Reds #1 rake, but if he is unable to do that next season I suspect he'll be gone, he is too good to sit on the bench every week. That being said, Fainga'a has been destructive this...

Agreed ECA. Obviously Buttler and Enever aren't available unless they'd be sure selections. In regards to the lack of Brothers in the pack, I'm also suprised. I haven't seen Nguamo, but I would have had Andrew Coady at hooker hands down. Freney and Price have been playing well also. What's...

Suprised no one has posted about James "Chibba" Hanson re-signing.

I'm not looking for a shit fight here but you named 4 or so GPS rep players that aren't available. I do not believe that losing a few rep players should hinder a teams performance. Easts are without Quirk, Toua, Cox, Bermingham, Kimmince and Faulkner for most of the season, plus recent injuries...

Anyone know what's going on with GPS lately? Results and performances haven't been good.

Looks about right.
