Waratahs 2025

Barrett is a loose head prop and still working his way into super rugby. With Bell, Lambert and Kailea all fit and available there hasn't been much reason to call him in. I guess they could look at shifting him across to tight head next year, but I think that would take even longer than Lambert to pay off.

Reds had to get JTA (Jeffery Toomaga-Allen), Brumbies Fotuaika, Force Moli.

Chances are Tahs (barring Talakai coming home) will need to bring a big lump of a lad struggling to crack real game time from a NZ team.

Also believe he’s been injured or is currently injured.
Wilson is right - tahs need a TH that can handle a scrum for at min a year to allow time for the ones that Ghost talks about. Would love them to bring back Moses Alo Emile or Paul but I suggest they’re probably very happy and would cost too much. Talakai would be the ideal bloke for the job but deffs under contract.

The Alo-Emiles are both contracted with Stade through to 2028

I believe that another Prop option that Mackellar should be looking into should be Jack Barret, He has one a prem at Joey's, played Aus under 20's and come through the pathway's
How come he hasn't been looked at yet?

Barrett did debut last year when the prop stocks were down and got absolutely monstered. I think he might even playing 2nd grade for Randwick this year which is a massive step from being a Tahs regular. Not saying he won't make it one day but certainly think he has some development to go yet.

Im sure theres some heavy 35yr old playing 2nd grade subbies that could hold up the scrum for us next season.
