Just sign CCC as the jersey supplier FFS! Having said that new Jersey doesn't look bad though
I love Canterbury's work, but I'd much prefer RA take it to market and get the best possible deal, while also ensuring it's a great jersey. Just defaulting to a traditional supplier is going to leave a hell of a lot of money on the table, and that's not something they can afford to do.Just sign CCC as the jersey supplier FFS!

Aston Villa and Newcastle united both got out of their deals early due to the absolute substandard Castore was producing. Hopefully they have improvedNever heard of Castore, but they are really not getting good feedback from the Euro crowd on other parts of the internet

Wallabies unveil 2026 Tests as new coach begins with Japan matches
Incoming Wallabies coach Les Kiss will launch his tenure against Eddie Jones's Japan, Australia's 14-Test schedule for 2026 shows.www.abc.net.au
Probably makes Perth a very good bet, particularly with nothing scheduled there yet.NRL will have the big stadiums booked for semi finals as well (on Friday and Sunday?)
Also test against the Poms in 2003 with Nathan Grey at 10, Turinui at 13, Sailor at 14, Latho at 15 and Roff at 11. Only small(ish) bloke was Steve Kefu at 12 (90-odd kg).We probably had this at one stage: Hodge, DHP, Kerevi, Kuridrani, Maddocks, Folau. That's probably bigger.
Yes we need some larger guysCould this be our biggest backline ever? (not cutting out Wright and Jorgo, just looking at potential players)
Zac lomax 190cm/105kg
Petaia 190cm/103kg
MM 192cm/100kg
Sua'ali'i 196cm/98kg
Carter Gordon 189cm/93kg
Ikitau 182cm/96kg
Is Sua'ali'i's an automatic pick ? He has to improve for mine. Ikitau should be 13. I'd play Joseph at 12 for the Tahs this year to see how he goes. He'd more effective there.Yes we need some larger guys
Really hoping petaia comes back firing and pushed for a wing spot and also Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) (Nawaqanitawase) coming will assist with some size
even Tom wright must be close to 100kg now
Sua'ali'i is a lot bigger then those numbers for weight - must be close to 105-107kg now
Even Marky M (Nawaqanitawase) (Nawaqanitawase) would be more 104kg ish
Certainly not an automatic pickIs Sua'ali'i's an automatic pick ? He has to improve for mine. Ikitau should be 13. I'd play Joseph at 12 for the Tahs this year to see how he goes. He'd more effective there.
Yes... not sure he's fast enough for the wing as some suggest he play? I see Foketi is chasing money from RA. He was a player I liked and in the 12 position we are light on. Was injured then fell out of favour. Ikitau is best at 13.Certainly not an automatic pick
Needs to find a position and be used better
Also defence fragile at 13 and I’d love to see him work with more space and not just being a battering ram!
I'm gonna say Lonergan as a starter, you need someone that can kick on the field. Sub off Lonergan and Carter at 55-ish minutes and put Tate and Lolesio. Tate can go for the snipes and creates the unpredictability and Lolesio safely gets the ball to the correct player after that.Mcdermott, Gordon, jorgo, JAS, Len, Marky M (Nawaqanitawase) (Nawaqanitawase), Wright.
Petaia on the bench with Lolesio/Donno.
