What Wamb really means is that the Brumbies should be playing Pocock at No 8 so that there will no longer be the argument that we don't play our best No 7 in the 7 spot for the Wallabies.;):(

Warringah into the final. Close game that could have gone either way. As a Brumbies/Vikings supporter I was pleased with the effort put in by Irae Simone. Played 12 but spent a lot of time at first receiver and showed some good touches, putting players through small gaps and a doozy of a...

Yep, agree R3. It is probably true that we can't afford to get rid of Cheika despite the reports of his apparent ultimatum from RA. But Grey must be another kettle of fish. The defensive structures are the parts that are failing and have been ever since Grey became involved. There must be a...

I suspect UTG that you and Michael Cheika are on the same page with those other picks. The rumour is that if the Wallabies continue to lose the next couple of RC games, then it will be curtains for Cheika. Most posters have thought the Saffas would be a big challenge, but after the weekend's...

We must persevere with Tui for the moment. As Slim points out, he made his tackles. He also made ground with ball in hand which we won't see from Hanigan. He also took his lineout catches. Retallick stripped the ball from him on, I think, his first run, but after that he tightened his hold on...

I like Tupou and Arnold starting and DHP to fullback again. I don't agree with some of the other picks, but those changes are overdue.

Some conflicting info coming out about Kemu Valetini. The only semi official news lists him as 19 years old and playing No 10. Amirite and others (on the Rising thread) think he is older and probably plays wider. Some clarification would be good.

It is abundantly clear whenever the ABs break out after a turnover, that to a man they are metres faster than any of the Wallabies. We really need to get some pace into our backline quick fast. Again Cheika left me shaking my head with his use of the bench. WTF was DHP, one of the better...

3. Pocock 2. DHP 1. Genia

ABs = All Barretts.

You're right UTG. Let's start with the defense. If a player can't routinely tackle his opposite number then shift him on. That's got rid of Foley, Beale and Koroibete. Then get a defense coach who understands defensive structures and can organise the backline to make sure that line breaks are...

DHP and Pocock yes, but not Koroibete. What the F was he doing running beside Ben Smith and letting him make a good 20 - 30m in the lead up to the second try. He is a very good league player finding it tough going in Rugby. Maddocks is going good.

Thanks R3. Any info about him? What position does he play? Age? Height? Weight? Etc? Is he as good/promising as Rob?

BJ, I see that the Rising have a Valetini listed in their NRC squad. Is there another? EDIT : Just saw that it is Kemu Valetini in the Rising. Anyone know anything about him?

Hooper at 12? He was tried there many moons ago and in his own words he didn't enjoy the experience. He is not our best No 7, but he is certainly not in the running for No 12.

Both really promising young players, especially in their positions.

Could have sworn I saw Valetini's name in the Vikings list. Are there two of them?

This idea I like. Maybe Vui as the up and comer? Another in contention would have to be Harry Johnson-Holmes but I think he plays LH side?

Sarcasm D? Just wondering, if meant to be a legit comment, what exactly was exploited in their humbling of the Wallabies last weekend? But more I look at your post, the more I am convinced of the dripping sarcasm.:)

Wouldn't mind seeing him go to the Force, but his days in gold surely are well and truly behind him.
