Yeah - nah.Tahs should definitely play Holloway in the backrow. Let Gleeson come north and play 6.
I’m more concerned with this photoUmm.. why is Nadolo doing a preseason with Leicester?
Guess Hooper is only around for one more season?Backrow is looking crowded, Hooper, Gamble, Swinton, Gleeson, Harris, Warren-Vosayaco. That's excluding Holloway, Hanigan and Sinclair who are all lock/6 types.
Latu is worth the roll of the dice IMO. Significantly better than Horton and definitely on peanuts.The more I think about it the signings of both Latu and Nadolo are difficult to understand, unless they're playing for peanuts. Even then I would've preferred the continued development of the hookers we have and one or two of the wingers who're leaving.
Latu will bring some X factor to the forwards, if he can stay card free, he is certainly an upgrade on Porecki/ Horton. I'd imagine Nadolo would be more so in a Jamie Roberts type role in mentoring the younger guys coming through. Some stints off the bench could be very handy too.Latu is worth the roll of the dice IMO. Significantly better than Horton and definitely on peanuts.
Nadolo I'm not huge on. We've got pretty good outside backs.
Yeah I agree. He's not done as a player but his current contract would be replaced by a younger version of the same player and see how they develop.I can’t imagine someone offered Hugh Bokenham a pro contract, is it just the case they’re no longer on the books as they’re not required (good enough). Robertson and Douglas same deal.
X-factor is an apt description, you just don’t know whether he is going to go for a red card or notLatu will bring some X factor to the forwards
He will be card free for a good 8 weeks at a time.
Umm.. why is Nadolo doing a preseason with Leicester?
Did some digging, yep you're right.Because he's still contracted to them...
The Waratahs are not expected to confirm Nadolo’s signing for some time as the 34-year-old is still on contract with UK Premiership side Leicester and will leave them mid-way through the next European season.
He will arrive in Australia towards the end of this year and likely be on duty for the back-half of the 2023 pre-season.
