so your names not really Phil Clinton? If I went down to Yoku and said I wanna speak to Phil - am I going to get greeted by Herbie!

This is rugby. Don’t give silly penalties and you won’t have these piggyback scoring opportunities off dominate set piece

What’s the story with Frankie Goldsbrough? Contract whilst still in school. Must have big wraps

My apologies. I think you were suggesting Gleeson as a option @ 7

Gleeson starting over Valetini is a huge call qwerty51 Valetini just got a contract extension with the wallabies that takes him past the 2027 World Cup. I am very much looking forward to these internal battles for positions/jerseys up for grabs

I’ve seen a few articles pop up lately talking about a change at wallabies captaincy. who’s everyone guess if it’s not Hooper? It’s gotta be someone in the squad whose position will pretty much go unchallenged. there’s also a fair bit of youth in this team with some quiet individuals… if it’s...

I have not heard the term sorry. like I said I was taught to go for the legs when I was in junior rugby. If the game has evolved and this is now something they teach then maybe this is one of the fundamental problems with Australian rugby. I am certainly not a coach but if they teach you to...

I don’t know if I can continue this . I honestly feel like I’m being trolled with what you are suggesting. you ever see the wallabies in a tackling drill, what part of the tackle bag do you think they are aiming for? It’s never above the torso

all thru my junior footy not one coach told me to go high to stop the offload. its all about wrapping them and bringing them downZ

Wonder if the Lawson Creighton 10 selection has anything to do about goal kicking? He looked good in QPR over weekend 6 from 8.

good for Jono Kent. that could be Werchon out there playing 15 for brothers and I’m sure Kent would of pressed his claim to be in these wests premier grade team first 2 weeks minuses the reds/rebels contingents… think Kent in the better position to hold his starting job though.

I feel like we might be seeing a bit of a Vunivalu in club rugby going forward. how do you press your claim for world cup when you can’t make reds 23You do a Phil Kearns and do it from club rugby. if Eddie jones is suddenly watching wests games to keep tabs on Vunivalu then there might be...

I like the Lynagh signing… there’s no rush on his development - allthough he did look the goods when he was thrown in the deep end start of season with those starts.

the thing I like most about Carter Gordon missed tackles - they are always around the torso, slide down to the legs. Donaldson, NL, Quade… those options all seem to enter the tackle zone in an upright position. If you think some of these flyhalf built like a featherweight boxer are going to...

Hope Brad turns it around and gets that contract extension. Think he will coach super rugby or international test level if that’s what he aspires to do.

Aus A caps ruin your eligibility if dual international? didn’t think Aus A was playing any rugby in 2023. Maybe we could play some minion nation that missed out like how USA lost to Chile.

I generally agree about not blooding a young player too early. But when it comes to dual passport holders you do need to consider the longer term impacts if the poaching vultures are circling. Lynagh would be a player I would consider outside of a World Cup year & getting him a token cap on...

Could Harry Wilson play lock? I know his probably a inch or 2 off being a world class lock but he’s skillset of having another hit up/tackle monster out on the field… could be pathway into the game day 23. He’d have to come to terms with the transition of going from the no1 position of choice...

really? I don’t see this as a brad thorn problem. He’s given a lot of these young wallaby fringe players a early go in super rugby by blooding them in deep end. the problem with qld reds selection in wallabies is. a) the politics of selecting mandated warratah players and who writes the...

Garrick Morgan days at the crushers really turned RL circles sour from recruiting rugby Union forwards. Harry got all the tools to be A RL superstar. i reckon he would start in origin 1st year…
