I think we need a Hype man - Cheika would be more impactful then Deans. Pay the cash hard for a couple years, Get it turned around THEN go for a steadier hand, the queensland link etc blah. Don't throw a rookie coach like Heenan or a Qlder heart and soul Taylor like person in with with lacking...

Put no clause - As the only decent THP in australia off contract - we need him.

HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes)>Botha (unless HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) is injured?) Swinton > Harris (unless Swinton gets suspended)

I guess the rehab guys are the 'lock ins' who will not play for their Super Rugby team again perhaps - big names which RA has taken over the rehab.

He's just....not considered. He was injured when first announced and didnt't get an invite now when fit. So just..yeh. cya.

Who in ' not considered' is injured? Did Hanigan, Ikitau, Porecki, Samu, Schoupp, Swain get dropped or injured?

Yeh forget Toole!

I hope they keep him! Just saying IF they don't. But also my point being Tuipolotu should have good options, if not at the Tahs then at least 2 other clubs he could be a starter. Also means Perese is a target within Aus for the same reasons.

If Perese stays, they won't be able to offer much, but if Perese goes his offer will be strong. Especially as the Rebels and Force both need a decent starting centre next year.

I think part of the problem is that we seem to be only getting players from QPR. Can't replace wallabies with clubbies and expect it to get stronger. Yes some will improve in the right environment but this is like looking for a Head Coach and only looking in the carpark. Heenan deserves to get a...

I thought he was listed as 'unavailable due to injury' - Eddie included those as part of his 49 doesnt fit into 33 or whatever.

Agreed - only pick squad members so got stuck with 2 half backs but yes - would quickly drop a centre for a 3rd halfback. Not sure who also gets dropped for the 6th prop.

I know it's feeble but decide to pick my best 33 for the WC - ONLY from who is currently in the squad/wider squad/not available through injury (though would want a 3rd HB) Hooker: Lonergan, Porecki, Fainga'a Prop: Bell, Slipper, Tupou, Ala'alatoa, Pone Lock: Arnold, Rodda, Frost, Skelton BR...

This is a reasonable assertion.

Yehhh i get it but I still think just because he can get into OUR international team as our 2nd or 3rd best option, does not make him Tier 1 international standard. Would he play 12 for SA, NZ, IRE, ENG etc? I don't believe so

Donaldson is an average Super Rugby 10 Pietch is an average and not really proven Super Rugby winger Foketi is a solid Super Rugby player, not of international standard Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) has barely started to play acceptable rugby so hold your horses, still struggles defensively Then you got 2 teenagers. Backline...

Angelo Smith, the reserve lock on Saturday was Wests. Ekuasi (the no.8) along with Smith and another Lock (Cardall who played 50 game for Wasps) were late signings - perhaps injury replacements for Leota etc. Yes it was the other no.8 (who I thought was great last season) Tamati Ioane who...

Eddie seems to be picking a training camp in April - no overseas based players Who (realistic selection) would not be available due to injury? Hookers: Props: Bell, Tupou Locks: Rodda, Philip BR: Leota HB: FH: C: Foketi, Hodge OB: Kellaway

Ah apologies missed that. Yeh Reds stuffed. Whats the timeline on Hoopert? Would Asiata move to LHP in the interim?
