Waratahs 2023

[7137]

Hopefully Foketi & Holz. Holz played for Easts v Randwick.

When is Edmed available? They might give him a run for Eastwood for fitness but I’m at the point I don’t see the team doing anything with Donaldson

I’ve been impressed with Botha. I don’t think we’ve lost much there without Holz.
Donaldson had a terrible game. I like the kid but at in 2 minds about his form at the moment. Perhaps if Edmed is ready to go it’s his turn.

SMH also reporting Gleeson, Porecki and Sinclair will be good to go along with Hooper, Foketi and Marky

We are losing a golden opportunitty in terms of attedances. According some reports, the new stadium attracts more crowd than ever:

We could have made better use of this with consistent performances on the field

More evidence waratahs media is a sheltered workshop

someone needs to teach them to format and add a few hard returns

Man that is hard on the eyes!

(The formatting, not the actual team, coming from an accounting nerd who thinks formatting is important)

Yesterday I saw an advert for a fulltime media & comms role for the Waratahs. So, either this is the intern or the bloke on his last week of the job absolutely phoning it in.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Yeah that blows.

Instagram team lists at least got it right

Yeah, a mate of mine was there and messaged me as much. Sounds like he's worth a good look.

Hooper free to play as Seu injury eats into Waratahs depth

Back row depth could become an issue for NSW as they eye the run home to the Super Rugby Pacific finals.

www.smh.com.au

Seu might be out with scans on his shoulder. Hanigan still out with the Concussion. Any news of him? Starts to be a worry when recovery may take so long. Hooper has one more rest required before the end of the year... I like that Eddie has said he won't force it. Crusaders Away the most likely time to do it.

Tahs v Rebels should be a beaut of game. Do we think the backrow is Hooper, Harris, Gleeson or Hooper, Gleeson, Gamble? Becomes a very short forward pack.

Sounds like Moses can smell some extra money...

Someone knows why Gleeson wears a red helmet? Cause Manly is blue, red and white. Maybe Tongan heritage?

All of the above.

Same reasons for Harry Wilson.

I think i saw an interview and he said it was so he stood out so his mum could see him on the field when she was watching

That's a proper answer. Thanks
