Wallabies 2023

[Braveheart81]

The only problem is we all know what we are going to get from Foley, and if that's what Eddie wants that's what he gets. Doesn't change the fact that Gordon with only one full season under his belt is already a better 10 than Foley ever was or will be.

He looked pretty good in a team that won four Super Rugby games all year. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

This is from last year, but...

Right so he got chubby - he's defs not a lukhan 120 or a Swinton 115

It is a lot more difficult to look good in a side that is losing constantly than one winning.

That’s actually a fantastic achievement for a 10. Not something to be derided.

Normally the first defence of any 9 or 10 that doesn’t play well is that their playing in a losing team or behind an ordinary pack.

I feel like Andrew Kellaway could be our modern day Marty Roebuck.

I feel like Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) could be our modern day Campo, only with aerial skills as well. Been saying that for a while. And that Will Harris will be our modern day Tim Gavin, in that he will peak in his late 20s / early 30s. Wilson could be like that as well.

No, he’s a model Hooper 118.

The Wallabies transmitted their winning aura to the Maroons lol

Surely we can pinch some Blues players who are despondent and wanna try losing in a different colour

And you don’t have to worry about media criticism.

Yeah - I don’t think so. Nawaqanitwase is a good young player and seems a decent young guy.

Campo is a genuine legend of the game and, for a period during his career, the best in the world.

I don’t even know why I bother with this forum sometimes

 

[TSR]

Well we do appreciate that you hang in there with us Qwerty.

I'm trying to be positive lol

The 2023 RWC Wallabies jersey. The new? No more Coat of arms of Australia as the badge on the chest, now is the Wallabies logo there:

Apparenlty the collar is a golden yellow neck round:

Personally, I don't like a collar with the same colour of the jersey, I'd prefer a green collar and a neck round is too basic. I'd prefer something more elaborate:

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Like the Wallaroos jersey?

Let's not get behind ourselves either.

I’m with you stillmist. Carter is a interesting prospect with all the tools… Bernard Flawley is over the hill, a poor defender and poor time manager…

I’d rather take a young flyhalf option with starting 10 Quade Cooper to the World Cup than 2 old flyhalfs who have had multiple opportunities to slay the ABs and failed.

Carter is a high reward/low risk option because of his skill set.

I feel like Andrew Kellaway could be our modern day Marty Roebuck.

What amazes me is that we have no alternative to Kellaway. He is not a traditional 15 and we lose a great winger, but he will do a better job than anyone else.
