Gonna give my 2 squads a crack. Noting the following: - I have no idea what the injury status of players are - I am only aware of Porecki being completely unavailable due to new child - I am only aware of Skelton, Kerevi and Koroibete being mentioned as foreign players. Wallabies (34) HK...

Noice. I thought they were going to do 36 and 28 (for that 64 total) edit. butttt now I've read the article so never mind!

2nd half I spotted a lot more 2 man tackles, but the ABs also walked through our defesnive line regularly which is a key issue with double up on defence. IF they get the ball away (which the highly skilled AB forwards can do) then you are stuffed.

They need to start developing another THP :(

Guess itll be other club players then!

In my 64 Aus based players we lose Nasser, Faessler, Thor, Hodgman, Gibbon, Nonggoor, Blyth, LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto), Canham, Wright, Wilson, Mcreight, Uru, Mcdermott, Lyangh, Paisami, Flook, Vunivalu & Campbell Soooo this would be my team based on reds signings/development squad from here -...

With 64 players being called (2 squads of 32 probably) but more like 36 and 28 sorta thing - I expect (and hope) they use it as a chance to get NH based aussies involved to at least touch base with them. However I will act as if its purely Aus based Hk: BPA, Porecki, Faessler, Nasser...

I wonder who the available former rebels players are who are still available to replace him? Can't include those already gone. Ripley? Vaihu (s)?

Horan said it on rugby heaven when asked about their playmakers and being in a hard position without JOC (James O'Connor) - leaning on the still very green lynagh and HMP, with creighton gone - Mason not being courted - surely they must be looking for another option........etc

Well I'm hoping they didn't increase an offer to JOC (James O'Connor) based on the $ agreement reached with Annan, coz losing both along with Creighton, yet reportedly not moving on M.Gordon - it doesn't make sense.

AAA scrummaging not up to standard. Depth behind him is poor. It seems Robertson must be working on THP, as he is ahead of Nonggoor - then Talakai, Pone and Hoskins are overseas (Pone probably to become PI eligible by the WC), and the Eloff project seems to be over.

I don't think its the best young talent. I think its solid journeymen talent. Apart from JOC (James O'Connor) leaving, which hurts our squad depth and nous, its all been gains for the Reds. (Unless Petaia officially leaves)

Huge shame - they need him. Wallabies need him. Need an experienced playmaker to support the developing - now we just have 2 x developing.

Kellaway has been average - whilst it is likely we see Max given a go, I'd rather see Toole start.

Bit different, but Scott Fardy was a late bloomer for Wallabies. So was Radike (in his second go around), playing regularly in his 30s.

Big issue for me is the lack of depth currently in the backrow. What will that look like? If you take Grant out of the team entirely as you say then you got 4. FLW (Fergus Lee-Warner) 5. Amatosero 6. Leota 8. Gleeson 7. Gamble 19. Smith 20. ? Is Ben Grant as a lock worse then say...slacksmith as a BR? If...

4. Grant 5. Amatosero 6. FLW (Fergus Lee-Warner) 8. Leota 7. Gamble 19. Smith 20. Gleeson

Not sure if there is a match thread yet so here it goes! 1. Slipper 2. Faessler 3. Ala'alatoa 4. Hooper 5. LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) 6. Valetini 8. Wilson 7. Tizzano 9. Mcdermott 10. Lynagh 11. Koroibete 12. Paisami 13. Ikitau 14. Toole 15. Kellaway 16. Nasser 17. Bell (hopefully) 18. Thor (article said keeping door...

Like Gordon, his physicality, extra efforts and cover defence was effective off the bench.
