I think Gareth Delve should be up there with Braid in terms of signings. Not only has he delivered on the field he is pretty much setting the culture of the club as well. He has been outstanding down south.

With Aus problems in the centers is importing a centre that's best days are behind him really problem solving for anything? I love BOD, but I struggle to believe he will bring enough to warrant the expense.

2014 BOD doesn't warrant the expense.. 2008-2010 BOD would have been awesome and could have potentially improved out current centre candidates by passing on experience and knowledge.

Looking forward to Round 4 March 9, 2013: Brumbies vs Tahs - Pocock vs Hooper.

Yes yes yes yes yes. I think the man crush centre of my brain might melt!
Adam Freier, Adam Ashley-Cooper, Tatafu Polota-Nau and Luke Burgess.

I'd more like to see McCabe playing at 13 going head to head with AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper). Make it happen rugby gods!
Based on his form in the ITM Cup, it's going to be hard not to find a spot on the wing for Peter Betham.
A backline of McKibbin/Hart, Turner, Foley, Barnes, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Betham, Mitchell could be pretty good to see.
If everyone is healthy, it'would be good to have a backline with Horne and Carter struggling to make the starting side.
Alternatively, you could move Barnes to 15, Carter to 12 and Betham, Turner or Mitchell onto the bench.
Let's just hope people are healthy.

Depending how Mitchell's recover goes, there may be a future in him moving closer in to the centers... Given his limited running the past 18months, I wouldn't be surprised if he has lost a fair bit of speed..

I think playing barnes at 15 will be the best option going forward.
I would go with
10. Foley
11. Turner/Betham
12. Carter/Horne
13. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)
14. Mitchell
15. Barnes
Of all the Australian teams, I would say the tahs have the most 'established' quality in the backs. Especially the outside backs.
Another one to watch will be Kingston at wing/centre.
However the outside backs don't really matter unless the halves combo can turn it on. I think McKibbin and Foley will be starting come march, but I dont know if they are good enough to steer a team to the finals.

McKibbin in particular. He's a good kicker and safe enough at 9, but I don't think he offers enough. Foley might not be at the necessary level just yet, but I think he deserves significant investment by the Waratahs. He could be their flyhalf for a long time, but getting there won't happen over night.

What if he teaches AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) how to pass when playing at 13? Would that be worth the expenses?
Thanks to this test season, that is now a Wallaby forward pack!

If you can keep them on the park, that is one seriously good and well balanced forward pack.

A very big, fat "if".
