Waratahs 2015

[Inside Shoulder]

Whilst not good news for me, this game will apparently be played at Campbelltown Stadium which is good for getting quality rugby to south-west Sydney.

I'll need to find someone to give me a lift there now!

The Waratahs will release more details next week.

Whoever has the signature quoting Pulver talking about away games will have to change it.

Cambelltown is the undiscoved country for many NSWRU/rah rah types. Hope the board know how to get there. They might not need your train timetable though HJ - the driver will know the way.

They can catch the train to Leumeah station and pop into Wests League Club for a bite to eat and drink beforehand.

Last time the Tahs played at Campbelltown was 2008 (crowd 5,000) when Timana Tahu made his debut off the bench. I had such high hopes for him.

Take the train to Leumeah Station. It's right next to Campbelltown Station. Let StateRail do the driving.

That will be the option if I don't find a lift from someone else. Good to know the stadium is next to the station though.

You just have to negotiate a small roundabout and the locals and you'll be right. I'm told Wests League is good for afters. Not that I've ever been.

I'm happy about the game being played at Campbelltown. Less than ten minutes from my place.

Campbelltown Stadium has a very good playing surface, and it can be quite relaxing sitting on the hill in the sun watching a game of footy.

Used to visit it with school 4 or 5 times a year for Schoolboy Cup games. The whole school would be bused down. Twelve hundred young men singing for 90 minutes straight. Good memories. Pity is just wasn't for Rugby.

Do a match review for me. Could not be fucked going back there for many reasons.

Have a bad time in Campbelltown?

I'll probably go, pending kick off time. I'll let you know Braveheart if I do.

Kurtley Beale has re-signed for 2015. It's a single year contract with the Waratahs and ARU.

Since we don't have a 2016 thread - Munster is very interested in Horne.

^^^^ There is a Tahs 2016 thread.

Started when Cheika announced that he would serve out his Tahs contract for 2015, and then remain as Wobs Coach only.

Any news on the official 2015 squad yet?

All I can trace is Douglas, Alofa and Crawford out, and Lousi and Kellaway in - just in terms of player movements. I've inferred that just about everyone else has been retained either through news of signings, or photos from training, or photos on the Tahs site in 2015 gear. I heard Peterson won't be back, and there's not much news around Hodge (did I see him get concussed in an early NRC game?). Nor Lucas for that matter. Then there's the half dozen transition group players.

So, Rocky Elsom plays 4 games for Narbonne (the French Randwick) in late 2014 (adding to 2 games for Toulon in early 2013). Anyone know if he has plans to take a tilt at the RWC through the Tahs? Is he fit? Why no play since early Dec? Just imagine, Rocky and Jacpot coming at ya... With his TGC lifetime membership after one crazy season in Ireland, nothing's impossible.

And that's only 6 games since the last RWC, he's certainly going to be fresh leading in

 

[Braveheart81]

Peterson, Lucas and Hodge are definitely all gone.

As we had a 36 man squad last year (as Hoiles was an injury replacement), and we've already added Lousi and Kellaway, I think there are two spots left.

Auvasa Faleali'i seems to be the only halfback training with the squad so he surely takes a spot as the third halfback.
