I could be mistaken, I read it on this site somewhere.

FWIW, this is the 31 I would pick (not looking through Cheika's eyes)... Props: Scott Sio, Taniela Tupou, Sekope Kepu, James Slipper, Alan Ala'alatoa (5) Hookers: Folau Fainga'a, Tatafu Polota-Nau, Jordan Uelese (3) Locks: Adam Coleman, Izack Rodda, Rory Arnold, Lukhan Tui (4) Back Row: David...

My understanding is that yes, he has, and that he is very keen to gain an early release however the Reds aren't interested.

Agree re: Throbber, and he deserves it - hope he does get back, but may be too tight timing-wise. See above response re AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper). Team B is simply looking at depth chart, and in my pre-amble I highlighted eligibility. It's a forum, for discussing things, you know.

I rate Tevita highly, but I don't think he is first choice anymore. He hasn't played a Test this year (overlooked in June, injured TRC). Samu can cover 12/13, Hodge can cver most positions - they're both going. I think AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) gets the final spot due to versatility and experience. Happy to be wrong...

With the Spring Tour squad named, I guess Cheik has shown his hand now. Here's my thoughts on the 31 he will take, and for the sake of depth charting 31 alternatives (including some he is unlikely to take, and some who would need to sign for an Aussie Super Rugby team for 2020 to be eligible..) I've...

I believe it has been reported elsewhere on this forum that Campbell has signed for US' Major League Rugby. Unsure which team. I think that either Duncan or Stewart can play FB, if Thorn continues to be too pig-headed to select Hunt there. Toua will also be back. Naivalu would be great at...

Good point, Mrs Gill! ;) FWIW, I agree with your assessment of his playing ability and don't have any reason to doubt his character, seems like a bit of a lad (in a good way).

For mine, Luke Jones is right back in the mix now as a lock/6 option..

We get that you had a messy departure from some sort of role at the Rebels, but this repetition about McGahan is becoming somewhat tiring...

Unfortunately, when it comes to disclosure of contract length, the Reds are by far the least transparent team in the country.

If I am an AMATEUR Shute Shield player, and I have the option of being a PROFESSIONAL player in any league, then I want the opportunity to explore that. In what world is that poaching?

Much worse than Kurtley was in his games at 10? At least as first receiver the distance of his kicking can be directly beneficial, though his passing game still needs work. I guess my point was, why are we continually looking at short-term solutions to such a critical jersey?

Whatever happened to the idea of Hodgey being backup 10? Or Maddocks? I didn't necessarily love either idea, but I love even less the shortsightedness that is throwing them up as alternatives and then walking away from the idea within twelve months despite lack of exploration...

What happened to Weeks? I didn't see the game.

I have heard North Harbour are the team likely to join WSR

Gale has signed for NOLA in the US' Major League Rugby

My wishlist for HC post Cheika: (not including Schmidt, Hansen, Wayne Smith, Foster, Robertson, as I don't think they're gettable) 1. Vern Cotter 2. Dave Rennie 3. Rob Baxter 4. Warren Gatland 5. Dean Richards 6. Mark McCall 7. Colin Cooper 49. Robbie Deans 50. Eddie Jones 51. Dave Wessels 52...

How have you seen the Aussie/guys who've spent a lot of time in Aussie, WO? I've seen bits of Debreczeni and Douglas (Northland), and Sione and Laloifi (Manawatu), but none really of: Andrew Ready, James Dargaville, Tayler Adams, Stuart Dunbar, Tyler Campbell, Robbie Abel, Nigel Ah-Wong, Levi...

Wilkin pulled a hammy in Shute Shield GF. He's a gun young man, really good fella. Tupai was playing 2nd Grade for a struggling Randwick side this year. They are on different levels.
