One would hope he could do both

whatever the question O'Conner is not the answer

I think you have priority correct It highlights the gulf from Folau. From a player who negates the high ball and makes teams think of other options, to players likely to spill 1 or 2 in 3 highballs under pressure.

I think Beale is Folau's back up

from 5% to 7% chance?

90 points in a game, meh, these early defense optional opposed training runs get bloody frustrating to me Pretty hard to judge any of the general play really.

Agreed, Douglas's best work is about cleanouts, pushing, defense and having a big engine. Although for 2014 he was the defensive shooter at the 10 for the Tahs, a role Hooper was given in 2015. So his defensive stats were partly shaped by the misses that that pressuring unit will invariably...

Yeah, they are going at it

OK, it is his fault

The old farts like them blazers

True but some of the guys who needed gametime and/or match practice are getting it. I can think of quite a few in the Wobs squad who need one or both. Typos by SwiftKey, errors in tone by me

It is interesting, we are off to another camp, the Kiwis are still playing provincial rugby

So do we continue to just complain or look forward? Has anyone seen info on what the squad is doing over the next few weeks? Cheika has picked two sets of 15, does he plan to just have then go at eachother for the next few weeks? Are the being sent to keep their match fitness up and...

yeah, I guess the issue is that Cheika was not confident that the other options could do the role he wants done as well as Douglas. Typical QLD selection bias as far as I care

To Test tie him would be my guess

Yeah, a Moore gets a cork, Nau gets a head knock; and a McMahon or a winger or another goes home

I look forward to the press conference, quite a few questions in this selection

Horne, like Mitchell has the ability to play multiple positions, in that smaller RWC squad, outside the starters, flexibility will be key. We get those calculations if someone important goes down early, are they sent home or rested, having those squad options is a necessity especially with...

i would suggest something like this, Jim Stewart looks pretty good to me and if wing is an issue moving Horne doesn't make sense 1 Robinson, Ben 2 Polota-Nau, Tatafu 3 Ryan, Paddy 4 Skelton, Will 5 Mumm, Dean 6 Dennis, Dave 7 Hooper, Michael 8 Holloway, Jed 9 Phipps, Nick 10 Foley, Bernard 11...
