We appreciate your patience while we complete this upgrade. Service will return to normal shortly, with improved performance and reliability.
Thank you for your understanding.
Afternoon learned.
The polls have closed and the results are in.
59 wise & true GAGR faithful contributed to the poll, my thanks for your contributions – and YOUR Wallaby XXIII is listed below. Having gone through each respondents team may I suggest seven of you urgently seek psychological assistance and a further eleven nameless GAGR’s (Yowie) owe me a written apology – yikes.
Your GAGR Wallaby XXIII

17. Allan Alaalatoa 26 votes (44.10%)
18. Angus Bell 42 votes (71.20%)
19 Sitaleki Timani 21 votes (35.60%)
20. Lachie Swniton tied with Fraser McReight 22 votes (37.30%) (I think Swinton gets the nod due to flexibility – can cover 4,5,6, & 8, plus Hooper is unlikely to be benched during the match)

22. Noah Lolesio 25 votes (42.40%)
23. Reece Hodge 28 votes (47.50%)
So there it is folks, no doubt injuries and training form will impact the final 23 and I am sure Moses & co have been keenly awaiting our list for guidance – you’re welcome Dave.
All that’s left is to say, no matter who wears the sacred gold is – ‘go you good things’.
