'What confuses me is that so many Tahs' supporters posting here in the early days also held a similar belief, but it (magically) turned around as soon as he moved to the Tahs.' Sorry mate, but calling 'Bulls#@t' on that one. Simmons has had an ok year by his standard but besides an improved...

If only RA would work with the franchises a bit more to get the best spread of talent to match the needs of the clubs.. Brumbies need a hooker, Tahs have 3 who could all start, maybe Roach or Fitzpatrick shift there? Do a swap for Richie Arnold and both clubs win. Sefa needs a start and the...

That's a tough one.... damned if you do etc... No doubt the one that was let go would tear it up at the next franchise.. But as I said earlier, the best talent needs an opportunity!

Richie Arnold would be the ideal target, Brumbies, Reds and Rebels all have pretty strong depth in the lock dept, and I really hate to see starting quality players stuck in a logjam where they aren't really needed, I don't care which franchise, I hate warehousing talent anywhere. Richie is...

If Latu starts and Vui comes regularly into the 23 they add a lot more punch to the team. Subject to any new recruits our best 23 will probably look like this Kepu Latu Robertson Simmons Holloway Hanigan Hooper Dempsey Gordon/Phipps Foley Clark Beale Rona Newsome Folau Vui...

Tahs should be chasing at least one of Rory Arnold, Matt Philip or even Luke Jones to bolster the Locks and say goodbye to Staniforth and Palmer. They should also be having a big go at Naivalu from the Rebels to replace Big T. Rebels are over cap and he is bench cover in their best backline...

With big T and now Kellaway leaving I'd be having a big crack at Naivalu from the Rebs for 2019, it would help them get under the cap and they're not exactly short of outside backs down there with Korebeite, DHP, Maddocks, Semisi Topau, etc. Not to mention English and Hodge! He'd be a great...

Ok, throw Hanigan into the backrow!

As much as I'm happy Timu went well, I'd be very surprised if he retains a spot in the wallaby setup when Dempsey returns and Naisarani becomes eligible. I also think Valetini will probably move in front of him when he gets more games under his belt. What a great problem going forward. Some...

When is Lukhan Tui back? He's a possible 6 and solves a bit of the backrow line-out/ball carrying conundrum....

Dempsey is still a couple of months away from playing unfortunately, (His words at the tahs open training session last week.) So won't be in the mix until the RC later this year at best.

Timani has never had the game to play in the backrow. Iv'e been saying to my mates for years In fact his coaches should have done a Richard Harry years ago and read him his future.... Front row is the path for you my son. The bloke is perfectly built for it....

I watched him play for the reds last 3 games and he was smashing blokes. He monstered a few of the Argies on Sunday morning. Too early in the season to be sure, but he could be back..... or alternatively he was killing it to get a few more $$$$$$ on his French contract. The article said he was...

Douglas would've (could still be?) an excellent pickup by NSW if he doesn't head o/s. We still really need a large top class LH, a BIG Lock (not Skelton though) and could get by with the rest of the squad we have. The backs look solid across the park, so when we have Kepu fully fit with Dempsey...

Fair enough, I threw it together pretty quickly! Re: JOC (James O'Connor), I still believe people can change and should be given opportunities if merited. I think he may be worth another shot. We've seen a few examples of redemption after multiple misdemeanors like KB (Kurtley Beale) for example. The bloke was a prize...

With the new concentration of talent post force we should be able to produce a better quality group of players than we currently have. Brumbies can't find space in their best 23 for both Enever and an Arnold. We have a great NSW born LH playing in NZ, Rebels can't fit Maddocks, Meakes and...

I'd be happy with any one of them, but really was more looking at Super Rugby and LH where we need the quality, those guys were just a wish list to replace that particular player in answer to your question.

Campbell Magnay? Reece Hodge? Billy Meakes?
