Like you I was disappointed with his NRC form so I think your right about him being on the edge and definately behind the others.
Irae Simone re-signs until the end of 2022
Glad to see he is making the best of his opportunities, probably the best performing 12 in the first round

A few years ago the under 20s were supposed to play as curtain raisers but some of the grounds didn't like to have 2 games on the same day and the games got shunted to suburban grounds and the Moore park c a r park. It certainly would add to the game day experience

Issac Henry is a good pick up!

Best performing 12!! You must not have watched the reds game - JOC (James O'Connor) was best performing 12 and best 12 in oz rugby period. Simone is no where near on the radar for the wallabies - Simone finally showing worthy super rugby starter but let’s not overdo where he is at

JOC (James O'Connor) was fine. The Reds played better when they cut him out altogether and gave the ball to Petaia, who was much better at exploiting space and releasing support runners.
There is no stand-out 12 so far. Because there has only been one round of rugby.

It depends on what you want from a 12
JOC (James O'Connor) was too selfish IMHO, did a load of runs that went nowhere and didn't create any space for the best young 13 in the country or anyone else
Simone, made space for his 13 and ran good lines
But I wouldn't have either in a wob jersey

Fair enough - who would you have at wallabies for 12?

Probably To'omua or Hunt?
If you have DHP at fullback, then Beale is also up there.

To'omua is the only real test standard option at 12, he is a good 12 and a shit 10
I would rather see him at 12 with one of the young 10s given a chance.
