Also Max jorgo did insinuate that when he first signed with the tahs he’d be there for a couple years.

From some pics on Insta (Tahs, Wobs) Jorgo looks to have put on a few kgs. Good to see

Find it disappointing that the Waratahs aren’t having any spring games, surely they would have been announced by now if there were any?

A lot of the squad are involved with world cup, barbarians and OS stints. More likely ro see trial games closer to Super Rugby season

Yeah but the games could be used to see what the next wave of talent is like and bridge a gap if need be.

Yeah but wouldn’t hurt to set up a couple games now, judging by those two comments no wonder Aussie rugby is suffering

Amatosero confirmed? He could quickly be in a starting side. Gives the team flexibility with Hanigan & Holloway if so.
Sinclair was a pretty solid rock for the side last year.

I still think Harrison has the most upside at 10, but it depends on the mindset from Coleman and if we will still rely on Gordon to run the plays from 9
Edmed is the safe option - he plays deeper, kicks well and defends well, Harrison or even Bowen I think have a more attacking mindset

I think we have seen and know what Edmed can do. I hope I’m wrong but I don’t see him getting much better. Good guy to have in the squad but Harrison still a better playmaker in my mind.
Bowen is a great prospect. Still things to work on after watching the U20s (very interceptable cut outs) but he can certainly unlock his outside backs.

I agree. I just don't think we're going to be seeing him starting in week 1.
They need to be very conservative with his return following back to back knee injuries.

Think it’s good that they can train as 10s though. Was this time last year everyone was split between 10 & 15 for him. Jorgo has made that decision for them. Still going to be ready for 15 if needed but it’s good for the team

And a potential bench of Vailanau, Lambert, Holz, Sinclair, Lee-Warner, Wilson, Walton, Harrison/Bowen

Always looks like such a handy side on paper.... trying not to get the hopes up as much as last season haha

Surely now is when we do get our hopes up to be dashed by week 1
But yeah, that does look handy on paper
