Brumbies should be throwing their hat in the ring against the Rebels (13 for Hodge) and Force (13 for anyone...) in for Tuipolotu (12 for Tua). Best available 12/13 prospect on the domestic market.

Faagase and Ravai aren't bad bench props. I'd say Reds lock depth < rbeels lock depth < rebels midfield < reds prop depth. Neither has anything on the Force midfield depth.....

At international level, Gleeson, like Samu and Mcmahon before him, will ineffective as an 8, useful in a tournament squad as the backup 7, and hugely effective as the no.20. If Gleeson makes the WC, it will be at the expense of Mcreight or Samu.

Bit of a risk with such a short backrow, and 2 taller backrows on the bench (but no lock). Set piece concerns for me.

No, on the 'mainland' but not too far from the bridge

With 7000 seats Im not certain they believed the team would play completely there...

7 suncorp 3 kayo 1 sunshine

It sold out at 7000. Pretty sure getting 30 000 to suncorp explains that.

Phins up

They have a formal relationship with Nudgee - similar to the Roosters/Scots College one. Identified school age students get brought in to board/play rugby but also be in the league academy. Most their feeder teams are in regional areas.

Has a contract - if he leaves to play for an australian team, he tears that contract up. at 4.5mil over 3 years, yeh not going to happen.

Eloff there as well for 2024.

Yes not convinced Hodge to 13 is the answer. Hodge to 15 and Riply 13 - Pincus as 23.

I remember some of the french props from a while back- quite small but super strong LHPs. Nicolas Mas and Thomas Domingo. Both 'Small' but almost ripped. 108kg balls of scrum pig muscle, both 180cm or less. low centre of gravity so not super easy to get down. Schoupp looked like a little agro...

Eddie will get his way - and this will open the chance for Sio for sure. He will be involved in conversations definitely now because of this - even if Bell does just make it back. Why? Because the gap between Slipper/Bell down to Robertson/Gibbon is vast. Sio is the gap filler and his value just...

Swinton never was nor never will be a 'running' forward. Not like Higs or Valetini He is an enforcer - putting big shots and shifts timber around the breakdowns. Needed Gleeson to start. Love Gamble but this is not a Poopcock scenario. With Bell injured this will be even more important.

Talakai is 31. Prop prime. Great bench man for any team. Eloff and Talakai are under contract through 2024. Pone is available after 2023. They might have just forced him out, going from potential first choice THP and Wallaby hopefuly, to guarenteed 2nd fiddle, even if Eloff switches sides. I...

Not a bad tag team Pone and Tupou - almost as great as the Skelton/potgieter if we saw it.
