I’ll go back to my original statement, we didn’t let him go. The Brumbies did. Then they filled his spot with Cam Clarke, who the Tahs had let go. Maybe he didn’t want to play in Sydney? maybe he wanted to live OS? Who knows? Whether he’s better than the players here or not is debatable (I’ve...

If he were a centre or lock we may have been more interested. The Tahs have 3 quality up and coming 5/8s that have been in their system for a few years, two can play fb, there are other fb candidates also. They’re all young, I’d assume they have a few years on their contracts. Why would the...

Easy tiger. By we, I’m talking Waratahs (this is a Waratahs thread). apparently it was our fault he left the brumbies, went to Europe and got a cap with Ireland because we didn’t sign him after Maddocks left. That was my only point. Why is he being mentioned as a lost talent on this thread? I...

Annnndddd, we didn’t let him go

Having the WF back in the fold also gives players like Robbo in the mix for the Wobs, keeping them in game time to show their worth, instead of going to France/Japan/etc…

I stand corrected. I was always under the impression they had the same system as NZ as the Curry Cup was already a thing pre Super Rugby.

^ the SA and NZ Super Rugby sides were/are also a collective of smaller provincial sides. Whereas our teams already represent a larger state. As an example I work with a kiwi fan of Otago and the Highlanders, not the Otago Highlanders, because that leaves out Southland and North Otago. And to include...

Early last season I thought Harrison suffered from having Beale and Hunt kind of push him aside and do their thing. He was a rookie and they were vastly more experienced, but it undermined his role and a fair few times the opportunity would be squandered by KB (Kurtley Beale) or KH doing an all or nothing play...

May check YouTube tomorrow arvo.

Didn’t get to watch. Anyone know if it’ll be replayed somewhere?

Fact is some of the young blokes will be stoked to be on the same training paddock, gym, playing field as someone who’s played for the B&I Lions. The kids in the team can learn valuable lessons on the dedication, work, etc it takes to play so many tests and still be playing professionally after...

Last year we lacked leadership. Players of middle experience like HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) and Gordon were put into senior roles. The Force on the other hand benefitted from having some wise older heads, leaving players like Godwin to focus on their games instead of guiding rookie pros through a tough season. As an...

Rats/marlins is a good local derby, same as Easts/Randwick. You’d go as a neutral just for the atmosphere.

Without looking it up, I’d think Brookie gets the biggest crowds since the Tahs have been moving around.

Bit left field, Phil Kearns; RWC winner as a hooker, but his output in the commentary booth has “dented” his legacy a bit.

Jeez, hooker is hard to fill. They’re usually tough buggers who have to have a dig to be a pro, but generally hard on the eye. Like there aren’t many pretty boy hookers. What about the Faaingaa brother with the dreads?

Fair enough. A bit like NoVax and the AO, he thought he was bigger than the game. his sheer arrogance and stupidity has cost him the prestige of making the team.

He’d probably need to learn Roman numerals.

You can’t question his ambition. Execution not too flash though.

If convicted, would Blake Ferguson qualify? He hadn’t actually played a game.
