Jed definitely had some forgettable moments at the Tahs before his return but he has ben very candid about his work ethic before he was dumped from the squad. I had a love hate relationship with Cheik's mindset as a club coach in thatb some players were just permantently on the outside of the...

Interesting, I actually really enjoyed seeing players develop in the NRC. Why did they dack it if it wasn't costing them big? seems like a win win if if wasn't a money sink

My lord you have just manifested my emotions about the wallabies 45% of the time over the last 12 years.

What happened to the Manly recruit the Tahs signed late last year? Hasn't been mentioned anywhere? Is he playing SS?

He'll become Jordy Reid no.2.Carlo can defend like hell but looks pretty lost when the ball is in his hands. Shame he didn't head back west as they're looking pretty thin next year but he'd probably see that as regression.

oh lol, got my blood up. I just want Ryan Smith to get recognised! hahaha

Not to stir the pot but why on this green earth is Paddy Ryan in a Tahs jersey again? Even without the cards he scrums like a cardboard box in the rain, has tits for hands and is a complete penalty magnet. Now add 2 cards for 2 starts(the yellow was iffy I know) how on earth is he back? He was...

Why on earth would you pick Coleman over the form locks playing well in Super Rugby? Coleman made his choice and turned his back on Aus footy, he was in diabolical form and collected a bunch of cards for his trouble. Swain, Frost, and Holloway are doing it the hard way and nailing it, Philip and...

He's been at the rebs for 3 seasons now I think

I would be able to ignore my moral misgivings of Cobus Eloff becoming an honorary aussie once he's been here for 3 seasons at the Rebs. He's an absolute gun and not one I would enjoy seeing front up for the Boks in the future. The boy can play.

speak of the devil

Whatever happened to Ollie Hoskins? looked to have a bright future before the force were canned.

Luckily back row is a position we have stacks of depth in. No specialist 7 cover at all though. Edit: we have plenty of theoretical depth. Just checked and without McMahon theres only 5 backrowers competing for 4 positions. Oops.

One would hope that we could strengthen our pathways by offering richer development contracts to these young kids rather than RA top ups to the incumbents. really theres only around 200 professional Rugby contracts in the country (compared to 800 NRL contracts), If we incentivised kids like...

Yeah I can't say I cop that either. Brad Thorn seemed to wave his magic wand a whip a squads worth of reliable hard working locks at the Reds just from kids he saw at clubs and NRC (admittedly he's an absolute taskmaster as well). We've got a few of our own coming through but the last few years...

What on earth is happening to our locking stocks though? Surely there's someone we can call on? Is Sitaleki re-signed for the Force? Where is Luke Jones playing? Where are Sam Jeffries or Harry Hockings playing now? Feels like well be left with our dick in our hands again in the engine room.

I have a feeling he'll get some time against the Tahs this week ;)

Unpopular opinion: Seru Uru to start over Salakaia-Loto. He's absolutely turbo the first 3 games, reminds me of Radike

This reminds me why I had a sabbatical from GAGR forums... a lot of not footy happening here

I mean, I certainly wouldn't want to sign a lot of this list but heres a bunch of locks i would imagine would come back to the Waratahs for a burn. Spare me as I'm not sure who's contracted for how long etc. Kane Douglass Will Skelton Adam Coleman Sam Carter Luke jones Lopeti Timani Sam...
