Of course, it is part of their "secret" Waratahs contract

Nup, but the decision making process is sound (who do you budget to play 80 in a match) even if the plan doesn't work every time.

The reality is that Hooper is one of those players you don't budget a direct replacement for because he will continually play the 80 "If" the worst happens, the team makes do

He does and has, the "stats" will catch up

Kellaway hasn't played for weeks after taking a knock, but he is probably one of the most talented players I have seen for years, he has those key strengths, poise and time.

Folau was the best 13 in the country throughout super rugby this season by miles. He does two things far better than the other options, he beats defenders and then passes the ball intelligently. But in this side, with it's multitudes of lazy, feckless units, there would be no one there to...

Neither have I, but I am reasonably certain of the outcome

How does it help aus rugby development to have a side playing with a foreign 9 & 10? It is bad enough to see two foreign 9s this season

Pocock doesn't have hands like feet and makes good decisons

meh, Timani isn't a test 8

Kellaway's "knock" has kept him out for a while

Not really, one has seemingly infinite depth of outstanding talent and the other is the Wallabies

It has been in the papers as Bristol, but with his broken arm, i don't think he would pass the medicals at the moment

No, but is a better all round 6 or 8 than Timani whose only success in super rugby has been as a short lock who trucks it up and tackles. The concept of timani having to make actual rugby decisions at 8 (or 6) in a test match, yeah nah, I don't see it The decision was between Fardy and Mumm.

He runs harder and hits harder than any of the supposed "big 8's" Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk

and for a prop we are getting concerned over who gets 5-10 minutes more playing time

He is just another future wallaby (as per his secret Tahs contract clause)

He is described and a Tah on the Rays website

I see no issue at all in players being "commercial", many/ most have a very, very short peak earning periods; they should get what they can while they can; and the reality is they are usually less cut throat than the management who will cut them very quickly as it suits.

Well, we aren't spending a lot of money and we desperately need pace and threat on the edges. We need to be able to stretch defenses, at the moment too many sides can compress and leave us space on the outside knowing we don't have wingers who are a threat on the outside.
