Yeh nice that's exactly what I said. That's why I like the 5 year thing (which is getting introduced for residency) as it rules that out.

I believe it is sensible (and one of piutaus arguments) that if there is a residency limit placed on being eligible for a nation, that should be the same as changing eligibility (particularly IMO, if it's heritage based) Eg - Koroibete spent 3 years in Aus to be eligible to play for Australia...

When they advertised for the Academy Head Coach they broke it down basically · Academy Stage 0 (U11-U15) · Academy Stage 1 (U15-U18) - includes Junior Gold Cup, QLD U16, QLD U18 ------feeding towards Aus U18/Schoolboys · Academy Stage 2 (U18-U20+) - includes U19 Rugby...

Hopefully Rory comes back after 2 seasons there and Richie comes back after the back to back season Japan is whipping out. But I highly doubt it!

Koch, Mostert, Vermulean, Louw, Deklerk, Reinch, Steyn, Leroux, Kolbe. 9/31 Post WC? - some may come back in time for 2020 Super Rugby after Japan, but majority won't. Marx, Koch, Etzebeth, Dejager, Snyman, Mostert, Vermulean, Smith, Louw, Deklerk, Reinach, Pollard, Steyn, Deallende, Kriel, Kolbe...

Hopefully will see him for QLD U20 (if that's still a thing) and potentially Aus U20, but even that may be 2021

wiki (Super Rugby transfers page) - just says released.

Exactly - apparently Australians would rather run and lose. We all know that!

Maybe he bought a house and wanted the security knowing that others will come off contract right before the WC and be demanding more $$ to be a part of it. who knowwsssssss

When did Akira join the squad? Frizzell was brought in for Jacobson

It we have Rennie and Taylor Do you think we can get/afford Wisemantel (Attack) and a decent forwards coach?

its 36 or 37 including development contracts (usually 5) guys like kemeny and potter. Gibbon was development last year, pretty sure perhaps some of the u20 players (tupou, hosea, haangana) were/are development)

japan

Will be interesting to see how the recent league converts come across (Moeroa & Kata), coz apart from Simone, there really isn't anyone close to being a 12 contender, though Foketi is a likely starter for the Tahs and captained Sydney @ 12. Reality, as sad as it is, is that in 2020 and...

Do we have many options for Local Talent at THP? It's still a professional Team and thus there are expectations to perform. If we can't find a decent THP here, then we need one from somewhere else.

There was an official exception for Japanese players . They wer elimited to 2 season. Tui got a 3rd because 1 he was injured for We had Goromaru and Tui, Brumbies had Tatekawa who was regular until the WC, and Rebels had Horie then Mafi.

If he is capped for Samoa ( Reserve THP v Wales in Apia. Got the call up after Alo-emile was promoted to start after Census Johnston had to bail) Think that means he's not eligible?

Well who do we have. reds - Not bad, but mainly u20 stars and limited experienced 6. ASY (Angus Scott-Young)/Wood 7. Wright/Mcreight 8. Wilson/Uru Rebels - not bad either - proven to not be superstars, but experienced across the board, + incumbent wallaby 6. Cottrell, Leota 7. Wilkins, Hardwick 8. Naisarani...

The article said he would most likely get a Super Rugby cap in what is one of the best backrows depths in australia. with LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) likely to play lock - I don't see how we do have one of the best backrow depths in Australia. We have a lot of hope in the future of the group yes, but I don't expect them to be...

Yep. Lising Smith was not ideal. Fotuaika should be the 5th 'utility' prop at best, with nasser as the development THP with another youngster as a development LHP. LHP. Smith, Hoopert THP. Thor, ? Utility- Fotuiaka Development LHP. ? Development THP. Nasser That's how it should look IMO.
