Either way he would be top 5 in the world for his position, so I'm sure he would fit into any squad nicely.

Ahead of Johnny Wilkinson - assuming he doesn't get picked for the Lions?
We need someone in both positions - IMO.

I've been told the Tahs no longer have the funds for a marquee player, or at least a marquee player of note. Cheika must have drained the coffers

The coffers have been bone dry for so long they're layered in dust.

I thought they sold the coffers to raise some cash?

On paper I suppose he is kick heavy but his kicks are well weighted, they often lead to competition for the ball that can be exciting in itself. A lot of our kicks merely lead to the ball beings as far away from our touchline as possible.
I suppose "boring" will always be in the eyes of the beholder.

Harris praised Uni's pack, led by Reds hooker James Hanson and lock Tim Buchanan, who expertly negated the big Dragons forwards from the outset.
"We got off to a flyer," he said. "They have a big pack so we tried to move them around and we did that successfully.
"The forwards definitely set the platform and when you have good go-forward ball and good pill and great players outside you it's a bit of a breeze.
"I'm just really happy with the premiership, it's not often we can play club rugby so to win a grand final, I'm just stoked."
Waratahs signing and Australian U20 halfback Matt Lucas was the Dragons' best player and also shone at five-eighth in the second half.
But the biggest smiles from Sunnybank fans came at halftime when one of their flock streaked from one end of Ballymore to the other and jumped the fence to get away scot free.

Lucas was a puzzling signing wasn't he?
It seems we are over represented with 9's.There is no shortage of talented 9's in the SS as well.

Lucas is our third halfback and is in the EPS.
That seems like the right number to me. Two in the main squad and one in EPS.
The EPS halfback is only one injury away from being in the matchday 22. You have to have three halfbacks.

true now, but at the time we also had Super Sarel. Whether the tahs management knew he would be released or not we can only guess at
They certainly knew that they were trying to organise with the Cheetahs for him to go back to South Africa.
Whilst it could have fallen through, it was certainly the aim at the time and involved three willing parties.

So we are to conduct ourselves as if Pretorious never darkened our door?
You need a thick hide to be a professional sportsman!
Couldn't disagree more, Iltw, we don't have enough 9s, not nearly enough. Who're these talented halfbacks from the Shute Shield? C'mon, Cheika, sign 'em up before some other bastard does.

In case anyone missed it, Betham scored another cracker of a try in the ITM Cup.

Might've found our Mitchell replacement

Would be a Johnny Howard type comeback for Betham if he were to make it at this level. Lots of talent, dreadful attitiude, thinks tackle is something on the end of a fishing line.
Just as impressive was his work to cut down the player in the Leonard try

Weakest position in Australian rugby
Picking the best U20s 9 for the EPS slot is not a dumb approach.
Wessells (aus schools last year?) maybe an up and comer but he didn't play much this year.
No shortage in the SS? mmm, which young up and comer would you rate higher?
