It would be a Lazurus like return to favour, however the reality is that when Jones was sacked from the Wallabies job he was in the ‘never again’ basket and had significant personality issues which were considered too corrosive to ever again be a realistic option for the Wallabies. His final...

Just promise me you aren’t Paul Gallen

I think maybe my original point has been missed. I was merely trying to point out I was really looking forward to the game.

Well - I wasn’t meaning to suggest there isn’t a possibility of that and I don’t think my post necessarily implies I think this is a net positive. Even without this happening I feel there was a distinct possibility that this game may have been a bridge too far - particularly if the Wallabies got...

I’m thoroughly looking forward to this game - and not just because it is the last game for the year. Argentina have been a fantastic contributor to a great international season. Meanwhile the Wallabies are a side in transition and this has plenty of intrigue of its own. And I am not sure the...

Agree BH. And while Hanigan has by no means been setting the world on fire I suspect he is largely doing the job he is being put out there to do - at least to a level above where any of the others candidates for the 6 jersey will be able to. Rennie may well decide Hanigan hasn’t really fired a...

Well, Ned is the current incumbent 6 so, again, regardless of the genuine feeling on here for Liam that is possibly not a bad thing.

You have rocks in your head if you think one of the other available candidates is significantly better. All the options have some form of shortcoming or another. Rennie seems to have a fair amount of confidence in Wright regardless of what any of us think on here.

There is only one way I can see us winning this by 101 points. I think the team we need to run out looks something like - John Portch Henry Hutchison Lewis Holland Maurice Longbottom Lachie Anderson Jeral Skelton Ed Jenkins Just need to hope the ref gets on board early and starts carding the...

Hopefully CFS, Wood & Fotuaika are still around the group at least. I assume they probably couldn’t resign Malolua because he isn’t Wallabies eligible. Which would be a shame if correct as it would be good to keep him one more year at least if our third halfback is a kid first year out of...

Pretty ordinary effort to catch one fish between the whole group.

I agree with the first part - I don’t think in tests you go for the points every single time anymore. IMO that is outdated thinking and it should be noted that Australia does not currently have a highly accurate goal kicker in their starting 15. I am not convinced it is either the captain or...

I can find numerous articles about Wilson shutting down the suggestion, but I can’t see who actually proposed him as being a candidate. In any case it’s a silly suggestion.

I don’t understand the criticism of Hooper’s dialogue with Williams. Williams telling Hooper that what he said to Matera was ‘between him and me’ was extremely bizarre and clearly Hooper had a right to know if Argentina were on a warning. It clearly threw Hooper but I thought he was quite...

Yeah - but I was just being facetious around the fact I was barracking for the Argies.

No offence Blake, but that’s not my ideal outcome.

Turns up like the 327 to Waltham Cross station - generally late, bad tempered and with a musty smell.

I think the question is whether Stewart will bring the outside backs into the game more. He may not be a better player, but he may complement the other backs better and help form a better unit.

I don’t know - but I reckon pre-season will be extremely competitive and that can only be a good thing. I also know these things rarely play out in the most obvious manner.

You’re being sarcastic now, right?
