Not really in the tight he doesn’t, he runs a bit wider and goes well there which is fine, but you need to balance that out with big bodies elsewhere in the forwards pack to get over the gain line in tight.
Do you think there are any roughies out there? Maybe Luke Jones.
I think the real Smokey for the RWC could be Tom Hooper
Luke Jones maybe, but he is competing for the same spot as Neville and Phillip I’d think. I think only one of those 3 would make the RWC squad assuming full fitness of players.
Might be right. Depending on whether Uncle Dave can get some more overseas players included might rule him out. Would he be in your group?
I really liked how Leota was going over the last 18 months. Rennie must like Holloway and tbf he got better throughout the Wallabies season and being available/fit no doubt was a big help.
Agreed. Jones has no chance, he has had so many times to impress and he never has. Wilson can't crack the squad and Jones isn't even good enough to clean Harry's boots.
I think Leota offers more with the ball in hand than Holloway. I thought during the European tour, the back three of Holloway and Hooper meant Bobby V was doing all the ball running which made it way too predictable.
You quite clearly watch the same games I do, Michael.
brums players tend to get murdered on these boards while free rides are given to others
DC: It's a tough call on locks as opposed to almost all other positions in the Wallabies.
Unfortunately, he will be competing with guys 6" taller than him ie Frost and bigger than him in Skelton.
Not saying he would be ahead of Rodda or Arnold but it's worth taking a look at the form he's in for Northampton. He's easily been a top 3 Lock in the Premiership this season.
