Just in time to replace Swinton. Seu will have to replace Ned (HIA), so maybe Gleeson to 6 and Harris to 8. Is anyone else back so we don't have to raid the U-18's for the bench?

Charlie Gamble, maybe the most important player on the injury list except for Bell and Gleeson, is listed as week 9+ ie sometime after week 9. Has anyone got any inside goss on how he's progressing?
I think Teddy Wilson should be the backup 9 now. He's better than Goddard in my view.
He provided good impact off the bench on Saturday night.

Gordon and Goddard are very similar so I think you are right. Although I think Goddard has a better kicking game.
Wilson is probably the long term future at 9 even with Gordon resigning. I hope they keep Wilson around for a long time.
Thankfully Jake Gordon has started finding some form. He's been much better in the last two games.

Didn't Harris get 2 yellow cards in the 2 consecutive matches? I'm almost certain he got both of them coming on from the bench aswell. Is there nobody else we can replace him with?
They're both essentially team cards though.
I certainly don't think he's a liability in that regard.

After a bye with lots of players due back in a must win game?
7 weeks for Swinton.

Team: NSW Waratahs

SANZAAR NEWS RELEASE
Lachlan Swinton suspended for 7 weeks
A SANZAAR Judicial Committee Hearing has found Lachlan Swinton of the NSW Waratahs guilty of contravening Law 9.13: A player must not tackle an opponent early, late or dangerously after he was Cited following a Super Rugby Pacific Match at the Weekend.
Swinton has been suspended for 7 weeks, up to and including 3 June 2023.
The incident occurred within the first minute of the match between NSW Waratahs and Western Force, played at Allianz Stadium in Sydney on 15 April 2023.
The SANZAAR Judicial Hearing held via video conference on Tuesday 18 April, 6:00 pm (AEST), 8:00 pm (NZST) was heard by Helen Morgan (Chair), Chris Smith and Ofisa Tonu’u.
In her finding, Judicial Committee Chair Helen Morgan ruled the following:
"Having conducted a detailed review of all the available evidence, including all camera angles and additional evidence, including submissions from the Player and his legal representative, Mr Aaron Lloyd, the Judicial Committee upheld the Citing under Law 9.13."
"With respect to sanction, the Judicial Committee deemed the act of foul play was reckless, with the contact point directly made with the head, high force and no mitigating factors present. The Committee found the incident was highly dangerous and, after considering all relevant factors of World Rugby’s Head Contact Process and sanctioning table, decided the foul play merited a top-end entry point of 10 weeks. Taking into account mitigating factors, including the Player's acceptance of guilt that the incident was foul play, conduct at the hearing and remorse, the Judicial Committee reduced the suspension by three weeks."
"The player is therefore suspended for 7 weeks, up to and including 3 June 2023.

I wouldn't have thought so at the beginning of the year, but I don't believe the loss of Swinton is going to be a huge detriment to the Tahs. While he hasn't been bad, he hasn't had a huge impact, and we really don't lose much with players like Gleeson, Harris, Gamble, Sinclair and Seu to cover the gap
IMO the absence that has really punished the Tahs is Bell, and to a lesser extent Harrison.
Swinton has continually shown a complete inability to correctly target his aggression.

It’s more losing someone unnecessarily when injuries are hurting the squad already that’s the biggest disappointment
The NSW Waratahs are delighted to announce the signing of Nephi Leatigaga, the Samoan-born prop, from Leicester Tigers in the UK.
Leatigaga joins the Waratahs on an injury cover contract for Angus Bell, who suffered a season ending toe injury during the team's round one clash with the Brumbies.
Leatigaga brings a wealth of European experience to the Waratahs, having made over 70 appearances for Leicester Tigers in his four seasons at the club and stints at Biarritz in France and Piacenza in Italy.
The 29-year-old has also represented Samoa at both Under-20 and senior levels (6 Test caps), and his size and power make him a formidable presence in the front row.
