Who's the bloke on the far right?

. Since Slim won’t answer. J Roff

 

[Derpus]

Ah yeah, didn't recognize him cause he got old and stuff.

I thought it was a Peter Dutton joke

far right.

Bannable talk...

'Stuff', meaning you got a short memory?

So Iain Payten is reporting Uelese did damage to his ACL, had surgery but is going to be fit for the RWC. Ok then.

Oh and Donaldson is in the squad, upgrade the servers.

 

[RugbyReg]

Also reporting Donaldson in the squad.

 

[Fergo]

Qwerty51 why don’t you share the other big news coming out of the Tahs.

 

[Fergo]

Also reporting Donaldson in the squad.

Expected. Eddie rates him and from all reports is training a treat. Back up at flyhalf and fullback, and knows Eddie’s system.

Please do tell?

I’m guessing another hooker will be one of the 5 extra players taken to the NT. A month out I spose you have to name the busted preferred player and hope he comes good, rather than ‘drop’ him and then find out he’s ok.

I mean, I was a child when he stopped playing so I guess so?

Knows Eddie’s system? How???

Randwick obviously.

Disappointing, we're not going far with players like that, Foley would be much better or Hodge, Lolesio, Lynhagh, O'Connor...anyone

The look on Valetini’s face…

Man really doesn't like Dutton

Exclusive: Quade, Hooper to miss World Cup selection as Jorgensen rockets into squad

Quade Cooper is set to be the headline omission from the Wallabies, with Eddie Jones to instead back Ben Donaldson to fill the utility…

Christy reporting Foketi & Vunivalau in the squad with Hooper, Peitsch, Wright and Hodge likely out while Uelese, Tupou still in despite injury

 

[Slim 293]

There’s a lot more speculation than usual in that article from Doran… but he repeatedly says Jorgensen might come into consideration.

That would be poor form from Eddie. It would be great experience but the time is not right now, give him another cycle to develop into more reliable player. Would much prefer one of Hodge or Wright

 

[Pass it to Dunning!]

Until Carter Gordon improves his kicking or we have a better goalkicker in the 15, there's always going to be a question mark beside his name. But I don't feel Donaldson is the answer.
