Where will Tahs v Rebs game be? Or any of their home games? Wouldn’t be Melbourne. Leichhardt? SCG?

Maybe a dud signing, at present we wouldn’t know unless we went and hung around by the fence in Daceyville and tried to judge his body language, etc from a distance. We’d know more if he was having a run for the Two Blues and killing it or sucking at SS level

Agreed it is weird. He can’t improve any of those qualities or disprove others perception of him without playing. I was chatting to someone far more knowledgeable than I am on rugby, he said his defensive positioning wasn’t great when he got his one chance Pre-COVID. He was put at outside centre...

Yes, it was a ruck or two after Philip went at the head of a Tah forward on the ground.

Surely someone could do a Roy and HG style simulcast so we can watch the vision and listen to something more palatable to our ears.

^mismanagement in planning/recruiting Is what happened. Which Penney has inherited.

I said in an earlier post that hooker is the hardest position to fill In this team as you can’t reach a high level in rugby in that position without having a go. Both of the above players can/could play. Height and having to bulk up for scrummaging meant they were going to lose a level of...

Or Hugh Roach.

Agreed, he has been put in far too early, would be better served coming off the bench and building his game time, skill and confidence. It’s a giant step to be packing down against Tupou less than a year after dismantling the Randwick colts pack in last years grand final. You look at James...

Really? That’s pretty funny. Surprised Marvel hasn’t been issued a cease and desist from Valhalla.

Agreed. And tupou also got lots of press too early, nobody calls him the Tongan Thor any more.

Yes, bell is ok. And will be good in time, he’s just been talked up too much too early in my opinion.

Bell pretty far off being the next big thing. Maddocks pretty good as a 15, like how he runs tryline to tryline.

Not a fan of these micky mouse 50/22 rules. Doesn’t add anything to the game.

Problem with sanctioning imports is Australia loses depth in key positions. We’d be better off opening up foreign contracts to old stagers who’d bring some intellectual property to our young blokes. Our problems at positions like 10, 12 etc is that their aren’t enough opportunities to play...

Depends how he structures the backline. I think Harrison kind of needs a bail out option at either 12 or 15. Someone who’s equally proficient at running, passing and kicking. Moroea isn’t that as a 12, but is a good option for hit ups off the set piece, he also acts as a bit of a body guard in...

A barbarians team isn’t ideal. Just looking at ways it could be viable.it would be good to get more fringe players on the park to build depth. But logistically it’d be better to have a bye round, as a last minute cobbled together team is on a hiding to nothing.

Barbarians could only work if the existing franchises share the wealth. If a wallaby is not in the starting 15 or a franchise has a backlog of talent in certain positions they could join this team.Probably won’t happen as injury replacements,game day rotations and self interest would probably...
