Wallabies 2023

[qwerty51]

Eddie seems to love Uelese, I think he'll make it, although he's a liability with his availability, durability and throwing.

 

[rugbyAU]

surely Wilson makes the squad after his performances in the past few weeks

I doubt he’ll make it, I’m sure Eddie included him initially to see what he could make of him. He hasn’t delivered unfortunately.

 

[Highlander35]

Nah my dudes, 189cm and 120kgs man, he'll get 20 minutes off the bench against Argentina play well (only 1 lineout which goes to two), then pick up a soft tissue injury that rules him out of the rest of the RC but Eddie's "seen enough" to give him that 3rd spot for the WC.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Wobs XV I wouldnt like to see front up vs NZ.....

1 3
2 fat
3 bastads (whoever)
4 Arnold
5 Skelton. (2 towers of murder)
6 Rob Valetini (can he play 6? well, he's going to have to now. You can't leave Gleeson out.....)
7 Mcreight
8 Gleeson
9 Nic White
10 Carter Gordon
11 Koroibete
12 Ikitau
13 Kerevi (surely an easy choice, better midfield combo than NZ and SA ffs)
14 Mark N (Nawaqanitawase)
15 Kellaway (easy choice, Tom Wright is a grade A drongo)

 

[HogansHeros]

I reckon Porecki was at his most physical in the QF, always been a bit negative on him around contact, but seemed to stand up a bit which is good

Anyone got any word on Bell, Tupou and Leota - surely one at least close to returning in club rugby soonish??

His comments on him seem very positive, I think he realises we need a big body at hooker and he's really the only one we got.

i was watching Leota go through what appeared to me as a fitness test about a fortnight ago, he can't be far off a return to playing, looked very unbroken to my eye

 

[Mr Pilfer]

I would like to see Wilson picked as well but the only way I can see him getting in is if Samu or Gleeson don't. I can't see them picking all 3 unfortunately

true we'll probably have 6 backrowers in the WC squad - Holloway, Hooper, Valetini, McReight and Samu probably locked in so between Wilson and Gleeson for the last spot

 

[Doritos Day]

I think Leota has run out of time. He's not markedly better than the other options who have been playing. Holloway is locked in.

I was in the members bar before our last home game & myself & a mate asked him he said still a month of at least & hadn't decided if he was going to go back to Easts (shute) or play at Wests (qpr)

Have you even watched Matt Faessler's lineout throwing this year?

My post was more of a joke because so many cant hit the side of a barn every now & again, but serious on Faessler yeah he has had a good yr but still behind DP & LL imo

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Faesler has continued to get better throughout the season and I feel like you can trust the guy. Effort plays like the charge down certainly help catch the eye.

Wouldn't mind another 5kg on him but it doesn't seem to hold him back in the tight stuff.

 

[hammertimethere]

Faessler has improved immensely this season, would be good if he were slightly bigger.

He's bigger than he looks on TV. ~110kg

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Maybe before a coffee

 

[wamberal]

Maybe before a coffee

All player dimensions are questionable. IMHO.

1. Ala'alatoa
2. Uelese
3. Bell
4. Skelton
5. Arnold
6. Gleeson
7. Hooper
8. Valetini

Right there you've got about 42,000 kilograms of boomfa bum breaking bish, bash, bosh.

In the second half you bring on Tupou, Slipper, Porceki, Holloway and Frost and flip the campaign for some zip, zap, zing.

Beat em up and then run around them.

The result? The Wallabies to win the RWC, pending the sudden last minute withdrawals of France and Ireland and New Zealand and England and South Africa due to lead poisoning.

Nick Frost to run 80 metres and then offload to Ikitau, who will score the winning try with a competition tackle completion rate of 104%. Despite this, everyonewill continue to not even know his first name and he'll win player of the tournament with only 4 comments in total on this website recognising his greatness.

I saw it in a dream.
