Is this public knowledge or has been swept under?

You haven't provided any options as to who was available, apart from bringing up Slipper and incorrectly labelling him as immobile, and who wouldn't make a material difference to the side. Who are these options?

I would have thought that he would have been pretty happy to end up anywhere at that stage.

So Ikitau is now the third best outside centre in the country after playing a total of 9 minutes Super rugby?

Mason has never showed anymore than Harrison has and he probably had a better pack in front of him- what do we gain from his selection?

What less do Jed Holloway and Jack Dempsey need to do to take out the 'worst player' category?

Our worst player was the one who posed the biggest threat with his running game?

Look I kind of get it- I don't doubt that Newsome is probably the more skilled and vocal out of the two (in comparison to Foketi). Penney might see it as an opportunity to involve the outside backs more and assist Harrison. In saying that though, I still don't believe Newsome is talented or...

This is an interesting viewpoint

I think you need to ease Meoroa off the bench off the bench and give him gradually increasing game time. I agree with the other changes apart from Gordon, who had an off game but I think has a lot of upside.

You effectively already use him as a centre anyway in attack. Aside from his obvious battering ram skills, his break to get on the outside of his man, was something I haven't seen from Kuridrani in about 3 years.

The point was that they weren't necessarily incompetent decisions at the time.

A lot of this is rubbish and completely out of context. The reason that players like Fainga'a were not recruited was because at the time we had better players available (e.g. TPN, Tolu Latu with Damien Fitzpatrick). You can argue that we should have thrown the cheque book at someone like AAA but...

How long before Kata replaces Kurirdrani at 13?

I'm reluctant to put in Hunt in the same bucket as some of the others (Staniforth hasn't been offering a whole lot more than Simmons- two new locks would be great) as his effort and intensity is still top notch, though he has been making pretty frequent errors recently. From all accounts, he's...

What exactly are Hegarty's strengths? If you're looking at a limited player with a strong kicking game- you're definitely not getting that.

Newsome should not be playing Super rugby though.

What did you expect Penney to be able to do with the cattle he has available in all seriousness? Do you really think that picking Holloway at 8 would really have made any material difference? The fact is that this is potentially the weakest squad the Tahs have in years, and any changes that...

I tend to agree; he was recruited as a fly half before being shifted further wide when it became apparent he didn't have the skills to play at 10. No doubt he's a good rugby player and can fill a gap but he doesn't (and I don't ever think will) become an outstanding outside back.

I always thought the 'Southern Brumbies' that played home games in Melbourne and Canberra would have been the way to go. You could have tapped into the commercial potential of Melbourne and leveraged some of the rugby culture in ACT.
