Waratahs 2024

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Gordon is a very good Super Rugby player and when he plays well the Tahs tend to at their best, surprise, surprise. Waratahs Captain as well which should mean something.

Gives them the ability to bring Wilson through properly.

I didn’t mind how Harry Wilson was playing towards the end of the season when he got a chance. Offers good versatility being able to cover Centre, Wing, Fullback.

Does anyone know any bolters from the shute shield or junior wallaby teams that could crack the tahs team next year?

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Bowen, Wilson though already capped.

O’Donnell is a chance and Jack Barrett will at some stage all though only played Colts this year so probably 2025 and let him physically develop. Tahs signed Slack-Smith as well who I think looked really good. Different type of 7 than the Tahs have had with Hooper, Gamble. Ropata is another U20s who looks dangerous.

There will be SS players brought into pre season but not sure which will feature heavily in match day squads regularly. Barnabas, Gibbs, Icely all up to it.

More worried about THP and the locks than what show pony is going to drop it in the backs

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Hopeful Amatosero can make a difference in the pack. I think we’ll miss Seu. He was really good last year and Will Harris is gone

 

[fatprop]

We seem to have 3 decent LHPs and one THP (Johnson-Holmes) who had collapsing issues and Holz .................

 

[Froggy]

I thought Botha looked better than Holtz

With these selections and signings suggestions. Typing Tahs to finish 8th and 3rd in Aussie conference but hay we are developing players. NOT

just pick older more seasoned players and leave your development players in the academy. That’s right u can’t afford the older players. Who gives up 100 k job as a 24 yr old who doesn’t live at home to play and train for the tahs for next to nothing.
As you were keep chasing the cheaper option. Budget wise spread sheet selections

Those who want it and back themselves. Base Super Rugby contract is $85k. I guess anyone who won’t take a shot at a dream and much greater riches for a small drop in coin doesn’t really have their heart in it.

I think you would find a lot of players (especially from shute shield) who would jump at the opportunity...

And the sheer amount of blokes that chase it for a decade and go play in MLR for a share house bed and beer money.

Your supposedly from the central west go ask Hunter if he was on 85.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Well, I don’t think he was part of the initial full time squad which that applies to.

Don’t know what extended members get as a base on top of match payments.

O’Donnell has signed with the Western Force

 

[TheRugbyGURU95]

The waratahs need to play some of there younger talents ie jack bowen, teddy wilson and henry odonell who where clear standouts for the junor wallabies.

O’Donnell has signed with the Force though

O’Donnell has signed with the Force though

It was leaked by Western Force HQ, they edited the article a couple hours after. They confirmed it in dm:

Good signing. Shame for the Tahs right now but glad to see him in a Super Rugby squad.
