Wallabies 2024

[rugbyAU]

Might as well start this off.

 

[Doritos Day]

McLennan must go. Don’t care about the rest.

 

[Sir Arthur Higgins]

Indont understand how McLennan can say these results were 20 years in the making because 12 months ago we took the all blacks, France and Ireland to the death and beat South Africa

He should be fired immediately.

good time to re-litigate the entire 4 year cycle and how we have dug such a deep deep hole. hated how players were gifted games in 2020 and players who could contribute to test wins were cast aside. sadly that has already happened with many left at home that could have been meaningful contributors. we are not good to enough to rebuild, just pick the best players that will win the next game.

This loss could be what we needed (Rugby Australia), hopefully a wake up call and inflicts some serious change starting from grass roots. We need investment in rugby clubs so that parents dont have to pay $600 for a season compared to $30 at league clubs. We've got four years to make something happen.

It’s hard to see how that doesn’t happen.

 

[LeCheese]

Surely it's time to start a 2027 WC thread too - we're building mate!

 

[Tomthumb]

This is all so grim

 

[Derpus]

Geez how do we come back from that? Maybe we don't.

 

[Tomthumb]

We are the West Indian cricket team of Rugby

 

[lpd]

honestly just have a semi pro competition, maybe joint with NZ, maybe three super rugby teams, central contracts for players, share players around the teams, and have one plan for how each team is coached.

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

Geez how do we come back from that? Maybe we don't.

I'm beginning to think the same and I'm generally an optimist. The situation is grim.

 

[Rebel man]

Might as well start this off. Time to start afresh and move on from all the old heads. I don't think the Giteau law has done anything for us.

I'd like to see a 35 man squad like this come next July: (You can bag it out, but it's not like this current team has worked)

Props - AAA, Tupou, Nonggorr, Bell, Gibbon, Robertson

Hookers - BPA, Porecki, Lonergan

Second Row - Rodda, Skelton, Frost, Salakai-Loto

Backrow - Gleeson, Wilson, Valetini, T. Hooper, Leota, McReight

Halfbacks - McDermott, Lonergan, IFL

Flyhalves - Gordon, Donaldson, Lynagh

Centres - Kerevi, Ikitau, Paisami, Flook

Outside Backs - Jorgensen, Korobiete, Petaia, Nawaqanitawase, Kellaway, Wright

Donno can’t be considered at 10

Haven't seen this comparison before, great comment. The future is bleak for both.

Donno can’t be considered at 10

We're not going back to Quade or Foley who else do you suggest?

Would back Noah in over him, I’m not even a massive fan of Noah but he is clearly a better option than Donno.

 

[NCT]

Kerevi has offered little this year, thought he was just slowly getting back from injury during the RC games but not much has changed. Time to move on from him. We don't seem to get much benefit from his experience. Now really is the time to focus on future development.

Forget Rennie, we tried him, it failed, move on
