Folau shouldn't be locked in as fullback or Beale at 12

Folau shouldn't be locked in as fullback or Beale at 12
I wouldn't say it is generous. It means they are paying less than $1.05 in each match.
The All Blacks are $1.04 to win the Bledisloe Cup and $1.15 to win the Rugby Championship.
Those are probably accurate but they are bloody short odds.

Last time Beale was available for the Wallabies, didn't Cheika use him from the bench?
Yes. I think he is odds on favourite to be in the starting XV now though, particularly with Hunt out injured.

$1.04 is appropriate. Anyone offering $1.15 against the All Blacks has too much money.

Yes, but since he has been in Europe he now gets a 20% boost at the selection table and contract negotiations..
I like to call it the Rocky Elsom effect..
Maybe, but I reckon it is what will happen
I think if Folau wasn't locked in, the June tests would have been used to test options, add to that DHP looked ropey under the highball against the Scots, it won't happen
Beale is the best 12 we have with Hunt injured

Move Folau to wing
I would like to see Beale at 15, Folau at 14, Speight or Naivalu 11 and Meakes at 12 now that Hunt is out.
I think we'll see Beale at 12 and Folau at 15 though. Both will be in the starting XV.

To win one, yes, but to win three in a row? That's a pretty sad commentary. On us.
So, to clarify, you base your judgement on the effectiveness, or not, of a team in attack, for a season, on the outcome of one game. And my original had nothing to do with the Tahs either.
So yes, I question the worth of your post, beyond a dig. But I admire your return of serve at being a pompous twerp.

That's because he has got a lot of talent. Always has had.

Beale has got plenty of talent. I don't dispute that at all. He also has demonstrated a shit attitude throughout his career and there has been no shortage of people that have accommodated this.
Beale fans need not worry. In the fucked up world that is Australian rugby, he will waltz straight back into the Wallabies.

No one denies that Beale has done some shocking things in his past. He hasn't put a foot wrong since 2014 though.
With the narrative around the launch of the Indigenous jersey and it featuring on the front page of the Sydney Morning Herald, he's arguably become the most valuable asset Australian rugby has.

From my limited experience watching him live he does seem expert at blaming his team mates when things go wrong, esp in a losing team. He was young and maybe he has matured, but until then should be on the bench, keeps his ego grounded.

Why is Hodge on the outer with everyone? He's had a relatively quiet year but he's hardly been blessed with talent around him in the Rebels backline.
With Hunt out I'd still like to see Beale at 15 with Hodge retaining the 12 jersey he earned last year.

10. Foley
11. Speight or Naivalu
12. Hodge
13. Kuridrani
14. Folau
15. Beale
