Not exactly an upgrade https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/rugby/rugby-world-cup-2015/news/rugby-confidential-dan-mckellar-knocks-back-wallabies-as-geoff-parling-gets-forwards-nod/news-story/5b8aa6299301c1e506c70029ce3fd0db

I don't think it matters whether he has a 6 or 8 on his back, he is best through the middle

It is the type of stuff they do for younglings every year that they think have a future, Petia got the same treatment from memory

He did at the chiefs (Cane & Messam), but I agree it is unlikely

The lineout is the best attacking tool in the game But we have starting 2s who can't throw and questions over our locks ability at test level IMHO we need as many back row options for the lineout that we can provide so our locks can't be focused easily We don't have a big test 6 who can do...

for me 6 Wright 7 Hooper 8 Wilson Bench backrower Samu

I think we can use the Ben Darwin, cohesion theory, the ponies were the most settled side, followed by the Reds & Rebels That cohesion let them hit the ground running, but as the season rolled on other teams started to gel and they were brought back to the pack somewhat They are still the...

Which is worse

It has a Quade type ego all over it to me, the guy hasn't even fired a shot Now if we have him talking about himself in the third party in interviews and about his brand we have moved into deeper levels of hell

clearly he will be the first player picked to play in the first bled

I think the ARU dodged a bullet https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/rabbitohs-reject-Sua'ali'i-proposal-for-get-out-clause-in-five-year-deal-20200915-p55vyw.html

DHP is the clear 15 (if he is fit), he consistently gets you on the front foot on kick returns at test level. Maddocks doesn't he is a hole runner and Banks uses his pace on the outside Now against a real test kick chase, 90% of the time the result you can hope for is to beat the first man...

I think Swinton calmed down a bit and did the work (in between dumb tackles from being overly excited - I read somewhere he is a head butt walls type of motivated unit) I do not think he is near test standard at the moment, but he gets up off the ground and does stuff hard Dempsey? He has...

Swinton, if you ignore the overexcited dumb, gets up and does good work again and again - hard. Runs hard, tackles hard, hits rucks hard That type of aggression and anger has it's place I don't see him being near the 23, but he has been way more consistent than Dempsey, who picks his moments...

He is a bit small/light for test rugby @ 15 at the moment

Good, we need to pick units who get off their arse and back into play immediately

You sacked him ........ we rehabilitate them

Tahs next year?

The guy is something special, last year he played in the 1st grade SS grand final and then turned up and played in the colts grand final

He is their as a development option, he won't be near the real squad, but he has a tremendous upside at LHP in the future, we lack dynamic forward runners, have a LHP that can do that will be good over the next few seasons His scrummaging will improve
