Waratahs 2024

[Derpus]

Fuck all you fluffybunnys. I meant left or strike winger. There is no way he's going to walk straight into rugby and have the necessary defensive awareness to be a centre or the kicking and positional abilities of a fullback.

He has played a lot of rugby.

Yeah mate it wasn’t a great post and was confusing, no problems.
I think he has some rugby as a schoolboy only 4-5 years ago, so it’ll be interesting.

Derpus, there few who really understand the art of wing. Fewer who understand the difference between 11 and 14.

Pearls among swine lol.

It's which side you part your hair to ensure the crowd on your side gets your best look.

Bigotry

Bigotry

Sorry, I just looked it up and you're right.

From the Attorney General Department website:

"In Australia, it is unlawful to discriminate on the basis of a number of protected attributes including age, disability, race, sex, intersex status, gender identity, sexual orientation or being an outside back."

 

[Coleman Rees]

strike winger. Geez.

Went to the bathroom at a pub near Murrayfield, one door had "Mens" the other "Wingers"

All the rest - absolutely fair enough.

But wingers and half backs deserved to be scorned and ridiculed.

Absolutely, it is always worth remembering that when a half back becomes a too tedious mouthy prick, he changes sports, dons the wrap around sunglasses and becomes a cricketer

Mesu Kunavula – Knee (Season)

Sad news that Kunavula is gone for the season. Given we only signed him in mid November that has happened fairly recently.

 

[Wilson]

Seems like as much confirmation as a we'll get that the Naisarani train and trial didn't work out.

Will Harrison - Knee (Round 3)

Can this guy catch a break?

 

[Braveheart81]

Can this guy catch a break?

Hopefully this season he can stay healthy.

This is his comeback from the current knee injury.

 

[Wilson]

Confirmation that Gordon is continuing as captain:

NSW Waratahs announce their leadership group for 2024

nsw.rugby

Porecki vice captain and Hugh Sinclair rounding out the leadership group

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Happy to see Di Staso on the bench.

One of the stand outs in the U19s. Aggressive and could dominate contact.

Might be back in now!
