It has been the main issue for Aussie Rugby in recents yearscan we amend the giteau law to allow all locks to be picked? I swear they’re the only good ones that leave.

You could argue similar to Arnold & Skelton that BPA offers a point of difference over our existing optionsBPA is someone I wouldn't understand the reasoning behind selecting. Thinking back to the April training squad, I see:
Kerevi and Koroibete selected as proven, ongoing performers at international level.
Arnold & Skelton selected because of the point of difference that they provide over existing domestic options.
Foley, Arnold and Banks selected due to the uncertainty of starter quality or experience of existing options.
I don't see where BPA fits in those categories.

Banks broke his arm again and I don't think would be in the picture anyway. I think we can manage without Arnold but would like to see Sio thereBPA is someone I wouldn't understand the reasoning behind selecting. Thinking back to the April training squad, I see:

I often wondered whether we could have used Folau as a lineout jumpermax jorgenson would be pretty easy to get a bit of air with skelton and bell hoiking him up - Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) (Nawaqanitawase) could be a better option as he's tall

He's 1.93M (6'4) and lord knows he can jump and has great hands, I suspect also long arms. He wouldn't be Etzebeth up there, but he'd be a viable option. Whether you'd want him stuck in the middle of a maul or not available in the backline: that's another story!I often wondered whether we could have used Folau as a lineout jumper
I still wish they'd consider using someone other than hookers for throwing the ball in (in rugby as a whole, not Wallabies specifically).

Gray was a goal kicker for England in rugby before he switched to league.League Hooker though is different to Rugby. Cameron Smith was a Hooker and is the leading point scorer all time in the NRL. Gray was one of the first kickers to not Toe Poke right? Changed the game completely.
You do see at Club and School Boy level Props throwing into the Line Out quite a bit. It's something that should be encouraged through the development process.
I still wish they'd consider using someone other than hookers for throwing the ball in (in rugby as a whole, not Wallabies specifically). It will never make sense to me that all three front row don't train this and you don't then you use whomever is better. If James Slipper was an amazing line out thrower it would have saved the Wallabies years of grief.

Don't really reckon he's overrated. Made the best team in Europe look like school kids.
