Aussies an outside chance at best.

PS I concur with my brethen in regards to Blake and O'Donoghue.

ME too! more O'donahue than Blake but both will be missed.

Mooney appears not to agree.

Mooney is the best coach we've had since some Smeghead decided Knuckles had to go. But that doesn't mean he's going to tell the media what he really thinks.

I have no doubt Mooney wouldve love to keep Blake. The ARU didn't. For the price, and fair enough.

I think Mooney made the decision to chop Ed O'D. Certainly he did not get the opportunities in 08 he had in 07. And when he did start ahead of Van, the lineout went south - although I do not think that was Ed's fault.

I would have kept him in the squad myself. T78, any news on how he is going for Ulster?

And yes, the ARU made the decision that Blake and Latham had to leave Qld. Still unhappy about that.

Maybe, money can be found, but he was bench material at best last season
