Waratahs 2020

Well, I guess he has a mortgage to pay

Global market. With a short shelf life players are going to do what is best for their circumstances.

It's a shame Esei Ha'angana is going to Japan I would have loved the Tahs to give him a run

 

[Up the Guts]

Me too. One question though - back row or centres?

If he was to come back next year, it’d be 12 for me. Dempsey, Swinton, and Harris have the backrow covered.

So why didn't they, they had their chance?

He is the kind of lock we could have used, big, strong and young

Presumably, we can't match the offer in Japan.

Not a big loss, been in the Rebels system for about 5 years and has been a passenger the whole way through.

Michael Hooper won his 7th Matt Burke Cup for the Waratahs best player last night. He's only played 8 years with the team.

Lachie Swinton won best forward, Will Harrison best back and James Ramm and Tom Horton shared the Chris Whitaker Inspiring Waratah Medal for best rookie.

Tane has some real potential. It will be interesting where he ends up over the next couple of years as you'd have to think Harrison will have 10 tied up for awhile.

He's a fairly big unit already... could make a great 12 or FB imo.

I wouldn't be surprised if he eventually overtakes Harrison. Also has a very handy boot.
