Waratahs 2023

He's our Laumape Ngani. I hope he can stay injury free for a looooong time
No, he's our Mosese Tuipulotu. Different player entirely, probably more skillful than Laumape though it is VERY early days, but less of a kamikaze missile. Tuipulotu may only play trials this year, but if injuries hit the centres I am very confident he will step up seamlessly.

Under the new coaching team we are building real depth in all positions. Even at lock I feel we are starting to get some depth.

Our task now is to start playng with effective gameplans. That has to be the focus for the next few weeks.

Don't bother for that mention. Actually, you have said that he's more skillful than Laumape and I say nothing about it

I don't get the sort of snide down-playing of a player like Tuipulotu in a roster. Sounds like a good option behind 2 good incumbents. And I like to hear a guy committing to Aus rugby - he wants to represent, and is ambitious. What's not to like?
I’d be happy to see Mosese get a run in the centres with Perese at wing while Pietsch is out. I rate Perese tackle busting ability and big hits. I don’t rate his work at centre.

May as well since it ends up on the players Instagrams anyway.

I like this idea. Perese would be a hand full on the wing. Get him some ball 1v1 inside the 22 and let him do his thing.

I like the idea - but give it mroe creedence if you don't tell the world about it.
Certainly but if you have a big stadium in the middle of Moore Park shared with other teams in a city with millions of inhabitans in the heart of Sports journalism is almost impossible to hide it

Predicted starting XV for round 1 and we have STRONG impact players as Nadolo, Latu and Tuipulotu:

I am pretty comfortable in calling there's no chance of Gamble and Hooper playing together against the Brumbies. Swinton in for Gamble. They might finish together but wouldn't start.

Also Pietsch is definitely out round 1, so either Nadolo or Jorgenson - probably Jorgenson.

So we have 4 battering rams to destroy Brumbies defence in second half: Nadolo, Gamble, Latu and Tuipulotu
