A for Effort.... but a bit late to the game......... :p

He played in the Tahs v Brumbies trial at Bowral, so up until then at least

Someone... can't be bothered trawling through the thread to name names, had a little crack at the Tahs for not signing Hansen..... alluding that they (Tahs) are desperate, crap and should have signed Hanson up on enough coin to keep him playing here in Aust. Therefore Tahs to blame for him...

So a week and a bit before kick off, I'll have a crack at 23 for round 1 Bell Porecki HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) Holloway Douglas/Cridge Swinton Tizzano Warren-Vosayaco Gordon Donaldson Perese Roberts Foketi Funa Ramm Smith Horton Tauakipulu Cridge/Douglas Gleeson Grant Edmed Newsome/Nawaqa Hedged on a couple, Not...

My recollection was that the Tahs released a number of senior, highly paid players, to primarily reduce the salary bill at the beginning of COVID in 2020. Hence Hooper, Beale and Hanigan and others headed offshore with the blessing of the Tahs who were more concerned with insolvency than winning...

The sorry tale of how the Tahs caused Mack Hansen to leave Aust and become an Irish international.... Mack Hansen - My contract is up for renewal, my manager has advised that I have a good offer on the table from an Irish club, but it's still my dream to play for the Wallabies. What can we do...

Add Kata to that list, he was sitting 4th at best in the rankings at the Brumbies...

Interested to see how many twists and turns needed to make the two events correlate so it to becomes irrefutably the Tahs fault.... There are a few brumby fanboy/Tah knockers on the site who could easily make it work.............................now go! ;)

What's disturbing about it? Who doesn't make mistakes in a game? Seriously, Beale is significant a step up in both talent and experience from most of the backs in the Tahs squad. He would provide a level of experience that they desperately need. Can play every backline position from 10 to 15...

Trolling how mate? It's a rugby discussion site. Discussing realities that make you personally uncomfortable does not constitute trolling. If I've made any factual errors then please let me know and I'll edit or delete. Otherwise you could seek a safe space elsewhere, where no-one challenges or...

So 4 locals went east after the Force were cut? Force are obviously getting more traction in the juniors, but they are still massively dependant on importing players both internationally and from NSW/QLD.

The irony is next level though.... ACT junior pathways produce a Super Rugby/Test quality player about once every 5yrs or so. Then, when they get a decent one like Hansen, they don't play him for years and off he goes to Ireland and gets capped straight away..... Hilariously sad.....

OK then..... just having a casual glance through the main WF squad, I can count the following local products Props - nil Hookers - nil Locks - Pugh Backrow - Koteka, Callan Halves - McDonald Flyhalves - Nil Centre - Godwin, Makara Outside backs - Brad Lacey, Byron Ralston? (Darwin but I'll...

The WF junior pathways just keep producing the goods!!

In his words, match fit and ready to go.

Gregan and Whittaker also somehow made it work....

DR J Roberts officially landed!

Went to St Auggies, was playing colts with Manly... local product

As a visitor to many of the above fine establishments, a warning post is in order.... Due to the high ABV of many of the delicious brews, there is a fair likelihood you won't make it the the Tahs games... ;)

I think these days 35yo isn't the end for many professionals. We can look at the Force who got great value with Kahui, 37yo this year; Thrushyo 37 this year, Sitaleki Timani 36yo this year and Rob Kearney who was 35 last year. In the case of Jamie Roberts, if fit he could be a really useful...
