Let’s be realistic . Both those games were probably won before the kickoff and could of been won without either player . Anyway Waratahs 22 thread .

Would be a interesting play by tahs coaches if Randwick Vs West Harbour and Eastwood Vs Western Sydney was the litmus test for becoming the NSW 10 the following week . But agree probably didn’t help Edmed’s case Batger putting him on bench . Btw Donelson did only play 60min so are we splitting...

Forgive me as my information is only through friend of a friend of a friend etc But Isiah Perese is now with them ( irrelevant for this discussion ) Mitch Short was recalled when Gordon injured Kristian Jenson has been 24th man last few weeks Brooklyn Hardecker ( not sure if correct name )...

I believe there is a bit of talk in club land about this. Not sure if sparked by Eastwood coaches recent comments or just in general . But 5 Randwick guys in the squad and several others called in recently . All backs also . Does seem a little high for a club that has had marginal success at...

Anyone else hearing Will Harrison could be out for a extended period ?

Not uncommon either . James O'connor , Stephen Larkham , The barret brother interchange , Damien Mckenzie etc

I agree with you . In another thread I suggested him as a Matt Giteau type 12 because as you said his strengths are ball running and kicking and 12 ( like 15) would allow him to have some pressure taken off him in regards to organising / controlling . Looks a very instinctive player to me also ...

I reckon the Tahs completely out enthused the brumbies in all facets . First time this year they had a bit of intent with their running and defence line . Forced brumbies into a number of errors with good linspeed in second half. Attitude adjustment ? To play devils advocate as a tahs...

Out of interest what is laws regarding the video referee and the Cusack penalty ? Can they review for anything or only try scoring opportunity and foul play ? Or am I confusing with Rugby League

Nice jab I did give the kid credit, his running game and kicking is brilliant . Just don’t think he is great organiser / controlling 10 but I guess that will come with time . What about him as a Matt Giteau type 12 ? Less responsibility but can still use his lethal running and kicking game ?

Tahs forwards really stepping up IMO . Taken it to brumbies pack

The Waratahs defence . Brumbies get into Waratahs 22 and it just seems inevitable

Great post and thanks for the reply . For what its worth I agree the failure if NSW to embrace the NRC was a major problem . My problem with it was that it was essentially run at a level below Shute Shield . The players were paid below minimal wage ( so older players couldn't/wouldn't play)...

Ok allow me a different perspective - and please bare in mind we were looking at this weeks tahs team in a one off game with both teams have equal preparation Front Row Bell Poreki HJ VS Gillespie Vailanu Metcher Im suggesting the SS front row holds here at scrum time which is there primary...

Interested to hear where you think the gross mismatches are ? Willing to concede Jake Gordon and Jack Maddocks being wallabies but where else are the tahs players far superior ?

Sorry thought the question was based on Shute Shield 2020 I believe all the USA contracts were mid to late last year giving the tahs able time to sign them if they wish

I tried doing this last week and was shot down pretty quick but I will give it a go from last years Shute Shield and not selected for super rugby for NSW - excuse spelling 1. Jed Gillespie / Charlie Abel 2. Mahe Vailanu 3. Tim Metcher 4. Jack Margin 5. Nathan De Tuoit 6. Michael Icely 7...

Have people looked at Colemans overall coaching record ? Did't he have some fairly average runs at Penrith ( to be expected ) , Norths and Easts ? The latter 2 being 2 well resourced clubs . Did brilliant with Warringah and Gordon . Warringah were a top 6 side but clearly took them next level...

What about the defence coach Gilmore ? His resume isn't exactly getting enhanced at the moment

Great post and couldn't agree more .
