Itoje available in 2022

Great I am sure twiggy will be in touch to recruit him for the Force.

 

[7137]

He is 34 so now qualifies returning to oz as a journeyman - sorry right of passage

Someone should tell Rob Kearney is a journeyman

 

[fatprop]

At this point journeymen like Dave Dennis about all we can afford plus a nz mitre 10 bench lock.oh dear

If as is likely, we are going to have a bunch of baby locks, an actual leader and professional "journeyman" will be very helpful

 

[Braveheart81]

Not sure if Dave Dennis who has played for 2 clubs over 14 years with 100+ caps for the first one and 80+ caps for the second one can be considered a journeyman.

He'd certainly be a welcome return for 2021 if he wants to finish his career in Australia.

 

[Rob42]

Yep, very happy to have Dave Dennis back if he's up for it.

When Ben Mowen left for Europe, he mentioned the travel requirements of Super Rugby as a major issue, so I agree, 7137, Super Rugby AU plus/minus a trans-Tasman comp might change that calculation for older players.

His experience amongst a very unexperienced group would be invaluable. Would take him any day of the week.

Tane Edmed signed with the tahs. Will be interesting to see if they try to turn him or Donaldson into a 12 or 15.

 

[TSR]

At the moment they probably intend to play one at 4 & the other at 5

 

[Jimmy_Crouch]

Yeah we get it. We need a couple of locks. There is 20 pages of the same joke.

You'd have to think he'll be the back up 10 to Harrison, with Donaldson as the back up 15 to Maddocks.

Honestly think we will see Edmed overtake Harrison.

Hey Gordon will play 5

 

[Blackadder]

Honestly think we will see Edmed overtake Harrison.

Then why did the Tahs sign Harrison for 3 years?? Harrison will be our flyhalf but I hope Edmed gets a run on eventually in the team

 

[Rebels3]

Haha.

Harrison is a gun, someone i think has the highest potential of all the 10s in the country.

Edmed is very talented but after watching SS last week has abit to go to even get to Harrisons level. The game had great theatre but the execution and game nous by either team had a lot to be desired, admittedly in horrendous conditions.

Actually think the young lad might find himself at 12. Hes got all the attributes to be a good player

 

[RugbyReg]

I've only seen a little of Edmed but I think Harrison is legit something special. I'd be staggered if he is overtaken. There may be times when his form drops and others get a start, but long term, I think Harrison will achieve big things

 

[Rob42]

Great yarn in the SMH about Edmed's signing, playing the Shute Shield GF this weekend at Leichhardt Oval, home ground for his dad when he played for the Tigers. Good story-telling.

 

[Braveheart81]

Obligatory Steve Edmed post.

 

[7137]

Australia seems to have gone from famine to feast with talented 10’s. At least in the Tah and Brumby stables.

 

[Drew]

I’ve watched him play behind a dominant pack in grade for woodies v wicks as well as behind a beaten pack in colts gf for wicks v uni. Showed great skill, game management and enterprise in both instances. 12 might be an option, but really liked the way Mororoa there giving Harrison good front foot ball in that last game and feel that’s a combo that should be developed

Agree. I like Edmed a lot, but watching him in the SS he still lacks some rugby smarts in his decision making/game management at times. Harrison is definitely a step up atm. That said he's young, raw talent who could evolve into something really special. Lots to like.

I was thinking the same, could see him potentially as a future 12.
