Soccer picks anyone for the national side and the A league has never been dominate
Completely off topic I know, but that outfit is the absolute pits! That green in the shorts is truly vomitous.
Oh yeah who could possibly need double European champion Skelton when we've got Luke Jones..Will Skelton and tom banks have never left a great impression other than one filled with “ifs”
With Arnold, rodda, Phillip, swain and neville plus now luke Jones coming back I’m not sure we need big will anyways?
I thought he was poor in his two tests. How many tests do you give the guy o/s to perform?
fullback - I have almost no answers. Can we bring folau from 5 years ago back?
ten is a looming problem in need of a solution. Hopefully donaldson, edmed, passitoa and Gordon all get plenty of game time next year and we see growth.
Noah is serviceable but he’s not the 10 you want, the one you need right now.
Not what he said, you’re just being dramaticOh yeah who could possibly need double European champion Skelton when we've got Luke Jones..
Vomitous is a word, actually. The Oxford Dictionary says so.Completely off topic I know, but that outfit is the absolute pits! That green in the shorts is truly vomitous.
PS: Its a new word that I just made up but if we see much more of this they'll have to include it in the New Australian Dictionary as word of the year!
There can—and should—be such. When you're losing blood, replace it.unless we can get a serious injection of money and keep players at home for longer.
Always looks average when they go to these events.Completely off topic I know, but that outfit is the absolute pits! That green in the shorts is truly vomitous.

I don't mind him and I'm happy to see him doing well.Watching Mack Hansen for Ireland really drove this home. The bloke would probably be a Wallaby if Aus had more playing spots available.
We need a big ball runner at 6, I would put Valetini back there and tell him to get his bloody head down and aim at the shoulders, his running into contact with his head back like the Scottish sprinter from 'chariots or fire' takes you nowhere in rugby.Good article by Brett McKay
Wallabies' backrow punch was lacking vs England but is crucial for Argentina
Another weekend free of international rugby gave way to another weekend of reflecting on another Wallabies series loss, and all the ifs, buts and…www.theroar.com.au
Back row needs something. Holloway worth a look but we also need more productivity from our tight 5 in the carry.

Have a look at 2:30 for 20 secs and tell me if Valetini is doing an Eric Liddell impersonation?
The numbers dont lie. They all carried on average under 2m for the whole series.His running game is fine, same with Leota's. Even with the 'chariots of fire' style, it's effective. I think it's the breakdown accuracy and work that's lacking from our 6's.
Yeah he's cherry picked the forward in the English team that made the most meters across all 3 matches. He had a great series tbf but we've all used specific numbers to shape an argument in our favour.That’s my problem with the article…
It reads as if McKay didn’t actually watch the series and then has written an analysis based on one source of statistics, which may not be accurate.
For instance, Valetini had a number of strong carries throughout the series and according to rugbypass averaged 2.2m.
It's also strange that he's fixated on the attacking stats of the Wallabies backrow, while making comparisons to Ellis Genge... a prop.
