Number 7
Darby Loudon (17)
Hanigan moving on makes sense for everyone I think. His best position is 6 but we've got plenty of competition in the backrow with Dempsey, Swinton, Harris and potentially Tafa and we need to do better at lock, particularly with Simmons leaving.
From a moneyball perspective we can't really pay him what he's worth whilst retaining the players we need to retain and recruiting the specialist locks we need.
I agree. Add on top of the backrow queue in NSW there is now a lot of talent nationally so hard to see how he would fit in the Wallabies. He's been a good hard working (and sometimes unfairly maligned) player for us. Good luck to him.
