Kafe picked Holmes over Kepu....what...? Also think Maddocks will miss WC. Hes unnecessary Centre/FB: Beale Wing/FB: Maddocks, DHP, Banks Centre/FB/Wing: JOC (James O'Connor), Hodge.

Picking Wright is a feel good thing - Pretty clear Poey will be back eventually and Samu can cover 7 in the mean time (and has been playing the house down) Hanigan and Dempsey shouldn't be in the squad at all with the likes of Tui, Jones, Mccaffrey and Naisarani going around.

So no Latu, Uelese or TPN. who would your 2nd and 3rd hookers be then?

Cheika to announce a 32 or 33 man squad for SA Trip. Poey and Petaia will miss it - Coleman might as well Has there been any chat about TPN? Surely he would be a perfect 3rd Hooker. I'd put him ahead of Latu, Rangi & Mafi. Maybe for WC only Fainga'a Uelese Latu Sio Slipper Kepu Tupou...

ok so no real lingering issues then from players I'd imagine. Thats a huge turnover in 4 years. I wonder if AK (Andrew Kellaway) is staying?

But also they have more money, need a bigger roster for a longer season, and need to cover the loss of their internationals for test matches as their comps continue through them. BUT they do have depth issues as talent is spread thing so need to bolster.

Whose 2020 foreign Team is better? Honestly, evening without the SA losses (Vermulean, Etzebeth, Pollard etc) how can Super Rugby even come close to claiming it is the premier comp in the world with these players NOT IN IT. * making a couple predictions here 1. Franks 2. Flynn 3. Franks 4. Whitelock...

Without assuming we will take from another Super Rugby team (Meakes, Hunt, Simone) - What other no.12's around the world would even come close to accepting the pay on offer that the Reds could afford (assuming no RA topup) AND be able to come close to making up for Kerevi? I think we would be lucky to...

Who is at the Reds from when he was there in 2015 for him to have a Rep?

We need a great 12 - and noone who is australian (and available) comes close. 9. Mcdermott 10. Stewart 11. Daugunu 12. JOC (James O'Connor) 13. Petaia 14. Speight 15. Hegarty

JOC (James O'Connor) for 12

His contract allows him almost free reign in determining players worth to the Australia Team.

RA losing Arnold AND Coleman is a disaster. Brumbies losing Arnold AND Carter equally so. I'm sure the Brumbies would have happily replaced Carter with Frost, with the difference in $ going to keep Arnold

Tui is probably going from an u20 contract to a development contract. He Could double his money overseas even without breaking a sweat and move up from there. He may be back or he won't, but 'doing the hard yards' in a professional environment is tough when you have 10 years to max out $ and you...

2019 was the year and they stuffed it. Much harder with the list below and that's best case. 1. Faulker 2. Uelese 3. Ainsley 4. RHP 5. Phillips 6. Jones 8. Naisarani 7. Wilkins 9. White? 10. To'omua 11. Hodge 12. Meakes (if reds don't get him) 13. Magnay 14. Maddocks (if Tahs don't get him) 15...

1. Sio 2. Fainga'a 2. Ala'alatoa 4. Swain 5. Enever 6. Valetini 8. Mccaffrey 7. Cusack (7s)/Samu 9. Powell 10. Hansen 11. Pulu 12. Simone 13. Tk 14. Wright 15. Banks 16. Mcinnerney 17. Slipper 18. ? 19. Frost 20. Miller/Brown 21. Lonergan 22.? 23. Muirhead Locks and playmakers.

tahs need the players they killed it with in 2014 - they are all still playing and doing a better job then the 2020 replacements TPN, Kepu, Skelton, Poitgetier, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Naiyavoro.

Super Rugby has to stop being everyones first chance at being a Head Coach. OR if it is, have been an assistant in at least 2 clubs.

Cheika will bring on Gibson for the WC campaign, and then go somewhere else. I think a front runner NSW replacement will be Wisemantel - but he would have to be a front runner for the Wallaby Attack coach under the new Head Coach surely. (My vote for Head Coach being Taylor)

Not sure how Mafi can be up to it if TPN is not. Mafi isn't WC wallaby standard. TPN might not be in tip top form, but for your 3rd choice guy, you want someone with experience, proven ability, leadership qualities etc. This guy won't play much so can add value in other ways. However, if...
