Wallabies 2025

[TSR]

Based on form if Kerevi was deemed not to standard that Daugunu would be next picked centre if anything were to happen to Ikitau or Sua’ali’i. And I’d be very comfortable with that. His form in the 13 jersey has been excellent for the last 2 yrs.

'cause I'm trying to waste that final 30 minutes of work on a Friday: which team is better? Our predicted 2025 one for Lions match 1 or our 2013 one?

My combined team would be:
1. Bell 2. Moore 3. Ala'alatoa 4. Williams 5. Horwill (c) 6. Valetini 7. Hooper 8. Palu 9. Genia 10. Lolesio (yeah that's right) 11. Ioane 12. Ikitau 13. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 14. Sua'ali'i 15. Wright 16. Fez 17. Slipper (fuck yeah) 18. Kepu 19. Skelton 20. McReight 21. White 22. JO'C 23. Folau (Folau's debut right? I'd trust Joseph in his 2nd season over Izzy on debut).

2025: 8/15 starters and 3/7 bench, so 11/22.

You should have kept working! You wasted 30 minutes!

If we're talking about the player as they were then vs the players as they are now then it's Valetini, McReight and Wilson over Mowen, Hooper and Palu. Valetini > Palu (at least the 2013 model) an established McReight over a near debutant Hooper and an established Wilson absolute beats out a debutant Mowen for mine.

On the flipside I think I'd probably take 2013 Douglas over Williams (but that might change pretty soon).

I think the mcreight v tizzano debate is crazy considering the repeat seasons of test match performances mcreight has put it - it’s mcreight then daylight and his ceiling is much higher than what we had for the last decade from hooper due to his support play

Yeah right. McReight hasn't even come close to Hooper's best.

 

[A mutterer]

It's crazy to debate Wright not being a starter at this point. JAS may pressure him by 2027 but right now that jersey is his and our lack of Centres means JAS is best served there OR at a stretch the Wing as a target.

Locks in the Backline right now should only be:

10.
11.
12. Ikitau
13.
14.
15. Wright

Players like JAS, Daugunu, Jorgo, Potter, Loloseio, Donaldson, Lynagh are going to be wearing gold but yet to be seen where exactly.

I think you've missed a beat there ghost by excluding potter as a lock-in. If jorgo was fit I'd have him as the only other lock in.

 

[Sword of Justice]

Yeah right. McReight hasn't even come close to Hooper's best.

Thank you guys for opening this can of worms. Long overdue. Didn’t have much on this weekend anyway.

 

[Major Tom]

Yeah right. McReight hasn't even come close to Hooper's best.

His best games are just as good if not better than hooper’s. Hooper’s just played more atm.

 

[HogansHeros]

Im yet to see McReight have the same individual impact that Hooper had at international level. Hopefully we see it.

 

[Strewthcobber]

Which do you think McReight's best games at test level have been so far in his career?
