Very good side. Is Grant fit and not selected, or injured? Any update on RTAs for the likes of Alcock & Lance?

I understand your point, but the logic behind that is flawed - no Wallaby Coach would ever tell somebody that they're not required, as what is there to gain?

I hope he stays, however I'd understand if he left. A centre of his bullocking athletic profile could do a great job in the English Premiership

Has a get-out clause

Fair enough in theory. He has told the playing squad he's off in a team meeting.

Assuming Mitch stays. Mike is gone.

Crowley resigned to return to NZ. A really odd appointment, to be honest; with the exception of a stint as Asst. Coach of Canada (his brother was the Head Coach), he had never coached outside of NZ and there's a big difference between living on a farm in Taranaki & in the hustle and bustle of...

Sounds like there was some great defending in the Unicorns/Uni clash... :rolleyes:

Hooker stocks in Australia are pretty high at present, only place I can see where Abel would possibly get a run is back in Perth. 2017: QLD - Moore, Ready, Mafi (?) MEL - Hanson, Leafa, Siliva NSW - Tatafu, Latu, Roach ACT - Fainga'a, Mann-Rea (?), Anae (?), Abel (?) WF: Charles (?)...

It was great to watch the Champions Cup final on BeIn. The coverage is of such a higher standard than Super Rugby

Harris was at the Wallaby camp at Cockatoo Island, I wouldn't rule out him getting the call-up. Jack's certainly not ready, Hodge's versatility probably puts him into the mix in a 1 on 1 battle with KHunt

They're playing a left and right flanker split though as opposed to traditional 6 & 7 responsibilities. It really doesn't matter what number is on their backs. Jordy's main problem is his defence, but I'm a huge fan of him, Colby & Sean as a triple threat. The carrying and pilfering ability...

As was I... Very good. I'd rather run Simmons & Arnold, with either Skelton or Timani on the bench, and leave out Carter, Mumm, Horwill. Especially if we are playing a smaller backrow

I think they are trying to fabricate a 'turning point in the season' for a side who have not been as consistent as they need to be to win the title. Question is, if they were facing NZ opposition would they have come to the same decision?

Yep, have been swirling for months with many considering it a done deal.

If we're genuinely looking for a centre, surely trying to jump in and steal Godwin from the grasp of the Brumbies (where he's expected to sign) would be a great move on our part! In other words, there's been murmurs of Richard Graham as new backs coach next year. Zane Hilton is his BIL & by...

CFS to Japan apparently.

Tom, Fereti & Metch are, in all probability, fighting for 1 or max 2 spots I suppose. Zane Hilton has a bit of a propping academy in place down there, looking to avoid the hit they took during the NRC last year when the likes of Mike Tyler & Duncan Chubb were playing hurt

Thanks, appreciate the time and quality insight

Fuglistaller, Ellison, Cocker, Thomson, Matsushima, Harris, Jones, Asquith will all be gone at end of season. Dom was on the verge of an extension prior to the ACL, still suspect he will stay for 1 more. 99% sure that Fox & Snowden are there next year. I'm hopeful that Metcher, Crawford...
