Waratahs 2022

[Derpus]

Imagine bitching about having to train in a complete amateur time dump like Leichhardt just one time and being kicked out of the team.

"It wasn't directed just at Carlo" is the polite way of saying - Carlo blew up about our shit gym, before anyone else could get involved I told him to shuttup because you currently aren't going to be here in 2023 so you may as well enjoy what we have.

What sort of player cracks it over training facilities when they're playing Super Rugby? This isn't the EPL, he's not rushing around in his Lambo and eating at Michelin star restaurants every night. He's a fringe squad member who's spot will be taken once Hoops returns. No wonder he's on the outer with management.

Tizzano a fine young player…hopefully just in need of some attitude readjustment. It happens…Tizzano might be looking at equally returning to force in 2023

Yeah, he's definitely a great talent, but it's a team sport and you've got to fit in. Coleman singling him out seems to indicate a red flag and he's got some bridges to rebuild. He'll be behind Hooper when he returns, so a return to the Force might be a good option

‘You feel like you belong’: Kurtley reveals why he’s returning to Australian rugby

The chance to play for Dave Rennie’s Wallabies at a fourth World Cup, and be a role model for indigenous kids, are two major reasons why Kurtley Beale is returning from Paris.

Article in today's Moaning Herald, interviewing KB (Kurtley Beale) on returning to Australia

To be fair, Waratahs current facilities are absolute garbage and most club/teams have better facilities.

Most clubs in Subbies would he happy with those facilites Just lacks a decent clubhouse

 

[Marce]

We could but if we generated enough money to have ten pro sides we would probably have enough to pay more than Irish

Even in the golden Era Aussie Rugby haven't had 10 pro teams

The forum of everyone’s 2 cents worth.
Gotta love it.

Hooper is off fishing, looks like they're biting

The irony of how many people bitched about Poey is not lost on me.

Fishing fail

I like Harris being retained as No 8. He reminds me of a Ben Mowen type player and Ben Mowen became better in time. In-Fact, Mowen played his best rugby at the Brumbies after the Waratahs discarded him for the returning Elsom. A big mistake as Mowen went on to play and captain the Wallabies. The Reds Harry Wilson reminds me of Scott Higginbotham, plays very loose and looks great on his day but doesn't contribute enough to the physical tight stuff. In time Harris could potentially find his way into the Wallabies setup if the Waratahs and Australian Rugby be patient. Warren-Vosayaco I recon should be given time at inside centre. Perese and Warren-Vosayaco may give the tahs the power needed in that channel that is required today. Perese certainly, Warren-Vosayaco worth a chance.

Elsom also played for and captained the Wallabies.

Elsom also played for and captained the Wallabies.

True, but when he came back from overseas he signed a two year deal with the Brumbies and then a 1 year deal for the Tahs, the best years were behind Elsom whereas the best years for Mowen were in front of him who went to the Brumbies after the Tahs recruited Elsom. The Tahs I think released Elsom after just 1 year.

 

[Pass it to Dunning!]

I think Elsom only played a couple of games from the bench with the Tahs.

Harris still work in progress but agree worth persisting with. I think you are little harsh on Harry Wilson though as to me fine young player who is a little ahead of Harris. Don’t mind Warren-Vosayaco tried at centre but equally at 8 as centre options for tahs with Roberts, Pereze and Foketi means good options already there.

70 caps for tahs according to wiki. Don't know if he was a starter when he returned from os

Someone needs to inform Coleman that Rocky v Drago was only a movie and not the real world.
I feel for Carlo, lured to the Tahs but in reality has been treading water behind Hooper.
He'll have trouble returning to the WF as he's now well behind Koteka and Callan.

Poey and hooper high profile and top oz rugby players given extra carrots to retain. What is to begrudge that vs losing them to Japan or Europe…..

Poey was world class player as is hooper so RA has to work harder to retain them…again what is that hard to understand about this knowing what other financially attractive overseas options would be put in front of them. I think we are lucky to use options to play Japan for 1 year terms etc as options to retain players which nzru increasingly using for their top players.

Did he think Hooper was going somewhere?
The boy made his own decisions.

I didn't say that it was a smart decision.....I reckon he should have stayed at the WF.
Now he's going to find it hard to return.
