As I said, we will never know. You won't know and I won't know. But in his first season he was trucking the ball up like a number 8. A bit like Billy Vunipola. Slow but sure.
and failing at scrum time

He ain't an 8, he doesn't have the workrate He is now a good test THP, one day he may be a great test THP, a test standard THP is far more important than a unit making metres at 8

The only genuine case for a prop moving to #8 would be Bell but he can/almost is the best LH in the world right now.
If only his foot wasn't crocked.

I seriously think any realistic chance of a deep RWC run depends on the fitness of Bell and Tupou.

I have plugged for Frost a few times at 6, but I’ve flipped. It’s been some time since we’ve had a lock with his potential and locks are so important. There are plenty of worthy contenders at 6.

I was also very iffy about Gleeson being talked up too much - but he’s been very good first two rounds (as has Wilson with the exception of the dumb card last week)

Listening to "Eddie" and EJ (Eddie Jones) talking about "That Photo" and he said he's just too trusting, but he didn't know which draft that list was but he's done another 3 - 4 since then.

Someone should introduce him to this forum. He'd love it. He can select a new form team every week and post as many hypothetical teams as he likes.

Well, he did say that he enjoys hanging out with the punters - that's why he was in the stands on the weekend.

I would prefer this week to see the 6/8 3 be Gleeson, Valetini & Wilson sharing the backrow minutes for the Wobs

The most impressive part was convincingly pretending to be an Auckland Blues fan for close to a decade.

Anything possible should be done immediately to make sure he stays forever in Aus. He is an absolute freak.

I wasn’t on board with him playing at 6 initially but I’m now shovelling coal into the furnace on this idea.

His workrate, speed and athleticism are absurd from someone that big, and if he moved to the back row it allows us to play some real rock shifters in the row and let Frost play a looser game that he is so obviously suited to.

I like him at 6 but I also don't mind keeping him at lock. For example who are the rock shifters in the row you are talking about? I think we have better options at 6 like Valetini, Leota, Swinton compared to Phillip, Arnold, Swain, Rodda, Holloway (he can play both).

I don't really care where Frost plays but he's got to be in team.

I'd like to see it just for the entertainment value of BR switching from a Harrison critic to his number 1 fan.
Long time between drinks for you KOB. Haven't needed to make any comments, good or critical, of Will for at least a couple of years. He would, undoubtedly, be the pick of the three Wallabies in waiting for the 10 spot currently playing for the Tahs. Still that wouldn't need a very skillful player to be better than Donaldson or Edmed.:)

BR. Let’s see Donaldson at 10 before you go down that road. He’s not a specialist fullback. Harrison will be a while yet to start but his best position is fullback imho.
