Well done, Norths. We gave you a bit of a scare, though.
Hard to say what is going on in tahland. Recruitment methods seem a bit of a mess.Can someone explain to me why a bloke like Sinclair - the 10 - doesn't get a look in to the Tahs? Or even more to the point the Rebels instead of garden fish shop?
He runs that backline very well, is no slouch and has a good boot.
BTW - where is Simoni?

Injured with small tear to adductorWhere was Hamish Angus?
Player can look great at Club level and struggle at rep level. And vice versa.Honestly think he is nowhere near good enough watched him play a few times in the middle of the season with some inferior players and looked pretty ordinary.
Defence is a huge issue like most 10's.
My concern is that he's never had the chance to fail.Honestly think he is nowhere near good enough watched him play a few times in the middle of the season with some inferior players and looked pretty ordinary.

Foley was anointed from oz schools so no ones ever had a second look. Hamish Angus is in a similar position. Is Mack Mason really better?
Maybe a better example from the same club but who was oz schools is Meakes.
And the answer there is, usually, he had to learn it in the uk.
So we can't teach it and/or we can't recognise it.
Surely, this is where the NRC comes into play.The system that the ARU/NSWRU have constructed means that it's virtually impossible to move from SS to the Waratahs. Players come from one of:
(a)schoolboy rep teams
(b)junior academies
(c)rugby league
(d)NZ or Pacific Islands
(e)other overseas place
The positions left over after these are scarce and players used to training in an amateur set-up have next to no chance to impress beside fringe players who have been in a professional set-up. It's a pathway designed to fail.
