As Rugby Reg has pointed out in another thread - Berrick Barnes is probably the RWC role model for Carter Gordon game… Carter already has that X factor that Quade provides, the little flick passes, cut out passes and def kicks. What Berrick will provide is the high percentage plays and game...

Picking thru the eye of a one eyed bulldog supporter… in reality the game will be much closer but I expect the champs to advance. Brothers beating Easts on their home turf after siren.. that would be amazing tv… but in reality Easts could win by double digits hosting on their home track.

I’m tipping Wests and Brothers Wests by a lot Brothers after the siren

Mate the Gold Coast rebels have a red hot lineup. Wests would be going into tomorrow as underdogs with the bookies I suspect.

If he flys back in for the minor semi final - major respect. Would be even better if the brand landed in tigerland via parachute 5 mins before kick off with his immaculate hair.

James O’Connor surely is the next cab off rank if they need to call in a back…

Eddie got Kemeny in the Frankenstein lab. Picking every other players best trait and creating a super utility.

Hypothetically … if I’m rugby Australia and I want to protect wallabies going offshore for big money you maintain the 3 maximum giteau law players for World Cup but you expand those giteau law players maximum allocation for the TRC just before the World Cup. Use TRC as the preseason. Trial...

Yeah I mean I’ve been wondering about that. Did Eddie ask rugby australia for an exception? Makes sense why Foley and Cooper not considered… I personally believe 2 world class locks (can’t teach height) and taking the world class winger made the 2 flyhalves redundant

I’ve talked about on many times QWERTY about protecting the integrity of super rugby… opening the flood gates to more international reps just makes our competition more suspectible of Japan and Europe clubs offering our talent “greener grass” contracts

I’m so excited for this team… There’s rugby scouts across the globe watching old highlights of super rugby/NRC matches watching unfamiliar names that Eddie has just selected. Also believe Eddie maintained the gateau law of 3 maximum…

My bolter prediction back in April. I hope that knees ok, go get it Jorgensen.

Gee - I’m hesitant throwing money at a rugby league player who might not be built for test rugby… I’m sure this Duncan kid is extremely talented but throwing big money at a player who’s expected to play in forwards and wouldn’t be a line out option at 6ft1… This will be first red flag league...

He is putting the country ahead of brothers… I believe he might be in the frame for selection

So @Wilson with the scoop over in the wallabies 2023 thread James O’Connor is going to Darwin this weekend (wallabies camp) which you’d think will most likely rule him out on Sunday?

I think it’s a Avg Aussie rugby fan: The wallabies won the RWC Average Australian: where are these wallabies and what is RWC

I’d rather O’Connor over Quade for veteran utility ourside back. Will cover more positions and has played a better level of footy the last couple years (super rugby > Japan leagues)

Amen TT. Rennie had a win now approach. He knew the wobs didn’t have the depth so he campaigned to bring back more veteran players… it’s not like the extended giteau law equated to more wins. Eddie is thinking big picture… all the giteau law players (exc foley) all got a run and they all...

Just to clarify on the poaching union players for league. Some NRL clubs are actually picking up the tuition of some prospects…. Locking them into deals before and then sending them to rugby union nurseries The optics is we looking like we losing players to rugby league - but they were never...

Schooling at TSS I think we know where he will end up.
