Sefa wasn't eligible anyhow. Also Naiyaravoro has told Fiji he's with them Horne, Speight, JOC (James O'Connor), Cummins, Tomane, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) are all in contention

Was uni's best in a poor performance vs GPS. Showed his speed, class and is as tough as they come (defensively was exceptional when all around him were slipping off tackles)

Shit I was close!

He'd be crazy to not have, even if he isn't 100% sure that Graham is going

You're right. He is probably the best Japanese player aside from Tanaka. Was worth a shot at no salary cap cost

Yep you've basically nailed it Slim

You mean Kerevi, Kuridrani, Speight

Kerevi has Wallaby potential, of that there is no doubt however I will be VERY surprised if he gains a cap this year. 2016 may be his time. He also doesn't fit the current Australian test mould of having your primary distributors at 9, 10, 12 and strike runners at 11, 13-15. The relative...

I'd suggest they'll go with something like the above, but perhaps they'll play Duncan at 10 or 12 and Nucifora, maybe Kamp and potentially rest Placid

Likely line up for first game? 1. Orr 2. Fainga'a 3. Sandell 4. Lealaialoto-Tui 5. Hanigan 6. Korzcyk 7. Gunn 8. Fakaosilea 9. Tuttle 10. Deegan 11. Kellaway (c) 12. Tuipolotu 13. Magnay 14. Newsome 15. Placid ?

This is what I mean. Beale also defends on the wing

I suspect whoever plays 10 for the wallabies will be stationed in the back 3 defensively with Horne or another winger for example slotting into defend at 10. Should help with bomb defusal efforts at the back and returning fire when required. Under this system having a playmaking winger e.g JOC (James O'Connor)...

This the first time Quade, Hunt and JOC (James O'Connor) have started for the Reds? Fuck therein lies the problem

Look, when we disagree about this sort of stuff (relative merits of similar players for a single position) things are rarely as simple as one opinion is right and other is wrong. Problems arise when we begin to make statements in order to drive home our point, and then repeat them so often that...

He did go with Jones (see above). The point is Carter or Horwill? Or do you say fuck it and pick a promising one like Coleman? Not sure I know what the answer is but I imagine one of the major goals of TRC will be to sort this problem out.

I still don't agree that it's entirely necessary to name 3 halfbacks in the squad. I get that there is a risk if somebody goes down in the captains run then injured in the first minute but honestly how likely is that really? The advantages of being able to take an extra back or back 5 forward...

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) is fair to very good under the high ball. Speight is ok, Horne is not real good. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) does more than just "hack the ball as far as he can". The man can kick to a good standard when required, Horne much less so and Speight I don't really know. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)'s defense is good to excellent. Horne is...

So much of that was false I'm not sure where to start

Agreed, the Reds worth a look in are Slipper, Hanson and Holmes, Simmo, Gill, Genia, Cooper But Gill won't be looked at and Horwill will.

I've noticed that every time he comes up on a foxsports broadcast Pocock is listed as 115kg. He isn't 115kg. 105 maybe vs Hoopers 100. Nothing significant enough to get excited about.
