I should have just stuck with Tane.I for one welcome our newest player to have his surname mangled

Yup. He does a lot of work in support of other players, but in the Waratahs he's demonstrated that he's not a finisher. Numerous times the ball has gone out to him when we need a finisher and he plays a support-player role instead. He's a great person to have on the field, but I'm not so sure winger is his position, going by what he's demonstrated so far.I really like Dylan Pietsch, he works hard and he has lots of potential BUT he needs to back himself. he did the same thing against the Reds early in the season. run straight mate! He has the size and I would have backed him to score that try.
Agreed, used to play as a backrower until he made the switch to 7's. I don't think he has the finishing ability the Tahs need. Probably best suited to the bench covering whatever is required.Yup.

Yep to me Pietsch not offering great value at wing. First season as someone pointed out but will be struggling to retain his starting position without improvement at this point.Yup.

Yes hasn't Newsome been a revelation this season.Fair chance that Newsome pushes him out of the starting XV and Harrison returns to fullback this weekend.

He contributes and is delivering few errorsNewsome has had a good season, but IMO he hasn't been that bad in other years. Some on here want every Tah to be a Wallaby, but in the real world that just ain't going to happen. Every Super side needs good, reliable Super rugby level players, and Newsome and Sinclair are two very good examples of that
Pietsch will get another chance this weekend, and again I like the guy but I think he should be on notice from the coaching staff. Is anyone else breathing down his neck? Funa, Turner? Maybe not but I would like to see Tristen Rielly get a chance.
I think we will not see any changes to the team this week, they will want a settled squad against the Chiefs
No I don't but who knows,You don't think Harrison will return at fullback?
Oh Yes! I forgot about Ramm, I really rate him!I'm not too concerned about Harrison's size, he defends like a much bigger man, and isn't afraid to run the ball into contact hard when that's the best option. Yes, he probably would prefer 10, but we have three of them, and of those I think Harrison makes the best 15. I would also have him on the paddock whenever possible, some may disagree but I think he's the best goal-kicker in professional Aus rugby.
Looking at those wing options, another is Ramm once he returns from injury, who would be the quickest of the lot, is a sound defender and has a big boot.
