Hope so, though if not, then this bodes well for Flook and Droasese. Unless CFS is injured, I'd be surprised if we don't hear something soon because he has missed the bus for Aus Super Rugby teams at least, and a couple teams could have used a bigger wing option.

I'm not as sure about Flook and Droasese getting THAT many opportunities. With Petaia back fit and Vunivalu in the squad, guys who got more chances last year like Paisami, CFS and Flook (before injury) have been pushed down, not up. I'd have both Flook and Droasese behind CFS who will be lucky...

Make a 'at their best' team from the 2018 squad. 1. Slipper 2. Amosa 3. Tupou 4. Rodda 5. LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) 6. Wright 8. Higs 7. Smith 9. Mcdermott 10. Quade 11. Daugunu 12. Kerevi 13. CFS 14. Nabuli 15. Hunt 16. Mafi 17. Hoopert 18. Smith 19. Douglas 20. Timu 21. Frisby 22. Stewart 23. Perese Even if...

Nah, forget Walton. Newsome is a great defender and Perese probably the 'most talented' (generous) of the midfield backs. They will be 13 and 14.

3 is pretty standard in a squad. Plus Edmed is just a kid and should be (maybe is) on a development contract. Plus Donaldson is the backup 15. As far as flyhalves go its quite weak, all developing.

Jake Ball is essential! lacking in that department big time. I don't think no.7 options are that flash, and if you have Koteka then you end up with a short overall backrow with Lezana and Stander. I know Anstee is taller but...they are better. Force did shift leewarner to 6 because of a lack...

Did Ryan Smith debut? If not, him.

I have a feeling we are saying the same thing. I completely agree. I am glad that in time for WC prep, all 4 will be off contract, plus any smokey that has come through, so that the time and money can be put into whoever the Coaching group at the time wants going into the tournament.

That is why we lost Latu and will probably lose Amosa, their form doesnt warrant a significant top up...but we still need hookers. I'd say that Fainga'a and Uelese are probably 'sharing'a top up (they have quite a small cap as to how many people are RA supported)

If it is a 2 season deal, then he could be available for the WC. Amosa will be out the door because RA probably don't have neough Hooker money to reward his for his recent rise to dominance in the Hooker ranks as RA money has already been allocated to Fainga'a and Uelese for 2021 & 22...

will M.P and hoops be test available by the time the first series rolls around? Scratch hoops, just remmebered he is giteau eligible anyway

in addition to the obvious, I feel a big body wing option would be nice.

31 plus 5 WPS usually I THINK. NZ Teams have (37,38,38,38,39)

Is CFS training?

Nope

Is this all coming because 1 club said they would like to use him as a short term medical joker?

Still think Lock is an area of concern (as for every team...) we are sticking with locals but not convinced Tualima nd Smith are Pro rugby standard. Being the better of the Brisbane Prem grade does not = professional rugby player on an international stage. BUT they are all we have so all I can...

Isi has already been released from the squad so won't see him.

oops. I think Mcdermott. Can't see this kicking game that gordon is meant to be bringing

Any predictions for the final game team wise? Assuming JOC (James O'Connor) is the only one reutrning from injury. Wasn't LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) close to returning or did i imagine that? 1. Sio 2. Fainga'a 3. Ala'alatoa 4. Phillips 5. Simmons 6. Hanigan 8. Wilson 7. Hoops 9. White 10. JOC (James O'Connor) 11. Koroibete 12. Paisami 13. Petaia 14...
