Pass it to Dunning!

He's a fantastic pilferer and good in the scrums, but this is more trouble than it's worth. Send him to France, we'll find someone else.

Not sure it's that hard to find a hooker on a Saturday night in BrisVegas.

Man Johnson-Holmes and Tom Robertson are good rugby players. The scrummaging is good but the jackal (particularly HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes)), cleanout efficiency (Robertson take a bow v the Reds) and just all round package of skills is brilliant.
Latu stood down until after his court hearing on June 6.

I think it's time for Gibson to admit that his plan isn't working. He should hand the clipboard over to someone else. The problem is he is not the kind of person who admits his failings and changes things to fix them.
If the Tahs do fail to make the finals this year then that is 3 out of 4 years of failure and that is on him.
His game plan
His recruitment
His lack of plan A, B or C
His light mobile pack
His failures
Gibson should never have been signed again for another season before a ball had been kicked. Very poor form by Tahs management. Most organisations would see that something isn't working and change thigs, sacking the problem not keeping it.

Ok so the players that are gone for next year are Phipps, Rona, Kepu.
Miller is rumoured to be going to the Brumbies
Folau is still up in the air.
Ashley Cooper will most likely head back to Japan
Rumours of Beale and Foley going.
That is a lot of experience.
Who are replacing them??

Folau is gone. He's never playing rugby in Australia again. The question is whether he'll be costing us a million dollars a season or not.

Hopefully zero. Too much of a problem

I was wondering this & chatting with a friend about it too, neither of us think he's got much of a chance anymore

Well according to BR none of those players are any good anyway. Except Miller of course because he's been scouted by the Brumbies nous.

Miller will be lucky to start at the Brumbies next year, Brown Samu Cusack Valetini McCaffrey Hyne are pretty good backrowers.
With all fit I would expect it to be Valetini 6, Samu 7, McCaffrey 8 with the other's fighting out for the bench.
Derpus
Nathan Sharpe (72)
That really should be one of the best backrows in the competition.

Right now our best attacking weapon is Fitzpatrick's lineout throwing. Couple of fantastic throws on the weekend to set up the maul penalty try and the Rona linebreak off the long throw in. The forwards always do a serviceable job but the biggest factor this year has been the loss of Naiyaravoro.

Tahs apparently want Hunt but may not be able to afford him.
Hunt also out for possible 12 weeks.
Dempsey still not right

I would only be prepared to pay Hunt peanuts to stay. Bringing him in this year to play in the heart of our backline (someone with little to zero prior on-field playing relationships with the rest of the squad) has reduced our Ben Darwin cohesion index massively I'd say. Some of the Sunwolves tries in the Newcastle game appeared to be heavily influenced by a lack of familiarity between Mason and Hunt. Everyone just jumped on Mason because it was his first start with Foley rested.

Hunt is worth pretty big peanuts. Tahs mad if they don’t try to make something work.
