They are so highly valued elsewhere. Skelton, Simmons, Douglas, Arnold, Arnold, Philip, Hosea, Hockings, Stohlberg - all would add huge value to Aus teams.

Also a strength building exercise, common for bench as well.

Absolutely - but brumbyrunner was responding to a claim that it was out with the old, in with the new. Wright was pretty new lol

This is something the Reds obviously got wrong.

Stop being so dramatic

He mainly looked lost when he was, on multiple occasions, beaten whilst defending as the last man in the line. Commentators made comments about how the last man seemingly didn't even realise they were the last man as the wings had dropped back and communication hadn't come from the back or...

That's Mr Holloway

Interesting choice they made at 9...

He provides direction and nous. We have no idea of the behind the scenes happenings. Maybe Eddie was telling him ' you're the man' right up until day dot..coming across as a betrayal and lies by the HC. Wouldn't be out of character. Would I like to see him in Aus A? Yes. Is this relevant to my...

Bit light on direction and leadership out there - think He will regret leaving Quade and Holloway out of the squad all together Missed a couple players with nous and direction. Slips and Holloway Missed in the backs - White & Ikitau

So Faagase, Ravai, Hodgman, Allen, Nonggoor 1. Hodgeman 3. Nonggoor 17. Ravai 18. JTA Couple youngsters in academy and Suali was a 2023 only signing - not sure if retained

Have they kept Naisarani? Or is he back on the market. Would be a useful pickup for anyone really.

wtf. Donaldson as the backup to Gordon. This is bad. Quade will have to be with Aus A in europe. Some of this is wild. How did Jorgenson earn it? He hasn't played a minute... Rough on Lonergan. Wasn't given a minute and Fines wasn't in the squad. Obviously they must train together but jeez.

1. Hodgman 3. Nonggoor 17. Ravai 18. Faagase Would probably be the go if playing fit tomorrow.

Completely forgot about Hodgman -make Orr pickup far less likely.

So So: Ravai, Faagase, Nonggoor, De Lutiis Would love to grab released Orr (rebels) and Tauakipulu (Tahs)

Dominant?

Perhaps not so bad after all (hopefully)

I think Eddies 'running out of steam' and being unfit aren't always the same thing. If you make more tackles, it is more taxing, losing scrums etc, being on the backfoot. These are more taxing physically and mentally then having the advantage in these areas. Two teams could be equally as 'fit'...

15 tackles in the first half is pretty busy. popular lineout option. Perhaps a bit weak in the scrum? But that workrate is the foil you need with skelton. T.Hooper i thought was doing nothing but ended up with 32 tackles... Its a good balance. Frost with skelton. THooper with valetini...
