He has to survive his stint at the rats first. Don't forget Watmough lives around the cnr.

 

[MrTimms]

But how would you make space for him? I mean, we've got Anesi-the-1-cap-All-Black

Marquees can only sign for two years max, so that is another massive space needs filling...

Though considering Sos' quality the ARU may give dispensation for another year, solves both problems.

Well, someone mentioned here earlier Kerr-Barlow the backup halfback from the Chiefs having an Oz parentage, the Tahs should go for him...

And Mike Todd from the Crusaders can be approached...am sure he would like to be in the starting line up all the time...

We need a big name marquee signing. I would be throwing bucketloads of cash at someone like Chabal, BOD or a high profile leaguie like Hayne. Someone you can build a marketing campaign around.

The problem is they dont have the money, even if they did I think of the names above only Hayne should / could be considered.

BOD has just resigned with IRFU and will never leave Ireland due to his wife's acting career and the favourable tax laws for athletes there.

Chebal is WAY past his best and would be a waste of money IMO.

Hayne I'd love to see in sky blue but wont leave league unfortunately

i dont understand why the tahs, after they signed AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) and suggested he would play at inside centre, only to have beale go and then say AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) would be fullback, havnt had a word with JOC (James O'Connor), he is being corted by every australian team except the tahs. If they have approched him and been told he has no interest yet he has met with every other franchise then there is a major problem.

Why would a bloke who has said he will make his decision for football reasons wan't to go to the Tahs?

Cheika is the man who could turn the Warathas culture around. He did it at Leinster where he turned a team that had all the talent in the world but no real winning culture into one of the top teams in Europe. Not sure if he would come back to Aus or if the NSWRU would pay what he wants but he would turn the Tahs into a force, no doubt about it.

He has failed to do it at Stade Francais - they have finished 11th in a field of 14 in his first season - lots of rumours and disatisfaction

yeah I haven't followed European Rugby much this year, but saw this the other day and immediately thought that, given what's happen to previous coaches there, that Chieka might be in trouble. I guess it means he may well be available for the Tahs...should they want him.

 

[Scarfman]

No no no no stop it, we're falling into Poido's trap.

Give Foley a chance!

 

[Bowside]

Kerr Barlow would be an excellent signing for the tahs, force or brumbies.

 

[rugbysmartarse]

How long did kingi sign with the rebels? I've always like him as a 9, and has had some good touches at 14/15 this year as well. He'd be my first choice steal

Not a chance. I can tell you straight from the horses mouth that he wants to be an All Black.

True that but his first season at Leinster was not a success either, took him a couple of years to change the culture there. Also French rugby is a lot about bankroll hence why Toulon are now a strong side. Still think he would be a VERY good option for the Tahs, but also realise it has about as much chance as the brumbies 2011 side developing spine

If anyone is going can they ask

1) Why they have stopped playing like they did in the first 2 games of the year as if they recapture that form they could win the comp?

2) They made such a big song and dance at the start of the season about everyone being bigger and how much work they did in the gym do they now think that this may have been a mistake as Super Rugby calls for a more rounded athlete?

 

[qwerty51]

1) Horne.

2) That was a beat-up. They don't look any bigger than other sides.

 

[RugbyReg]

and they are still in the top 6.

Yeah, but the pack played "bigger"in those first two rounds than they have since. They were awesome in the first two games.
