Wallabies v Lions - 3rd Test, Accor Stadium, Saturday 2 August

[Slim 293]

I'd be more focused on trying to convince Bernie to play him at 12 - but with LK coming in, he may favour Paisami & Ikitau midfield anyway

Ikitau won't play at 12 for the Brumbies...

(ex 9 where we have depth)

Do we?

We have 32 year old Jake Gordon who keeps getting injured, Tate McDermott who is great off the bench but is never likely to be optimal as a starting test halfback and then a bunch of players with varying degrees of potential.

Teddy wilson looked sharp against Sydney Uni on the weekend. Think he'll be thereabouts in a couple of years. Certainly the Tahs first pick 9 once Jake retires.

TBH Teddy should be Tahs starting HB.

 

[Brumby Runner]

Teddy Wilson will never be the in-your-face type of player that Nic White is and that is so effective at test level rugby. Which is why we should be keeping an eye on Louis Werchon as a potential test starter down the track. He has that abrasiveness that most No 9s would like to have but really don't.

I don’t know. For the Tahs he is in everything, much like Gordon. He looks strong as well. Werchon is stronger but maybe not as quick and intuitive yet.

I’m a big Werchon fan but he actually needs to cool his jets if anything. Should come with time. I don’t really think we need an in your face half back as such just blokes who are competitive and driven. This version of Nic white is a lot better than the previous version who used to piss off every ref

That can come in time. Was Nick White the little cnut when he started compared to what he's like now? ( lets be clear, I like the little cnut version of Nick White).

 

[Crashy]

Thinking Brett Sheehan as that bully type of halfback. There are different types as we know. But they are all pests.

Argued with refs constantly. Don’t get me wrong I don’t want anyone in the fold to take a backwards step but you need to be liked or at least respected by the ref
