Has he been assigned to a WA club side? Would be great to see him play 1 game there first but can't see it happening. There should definitely be a few squad players running around in first grade this week, bud depends on whether Cron has called them back (Poolman, O'Donnell, Leahy, etc). I...
Great news, surely all these signings for the Force will pay dividends eventually.
Crucial that we get our first choice tight five on the field next year though.
Robertson
Paenga Amosa
Hoopert
Rodda
Williams
starting to look good as a tight 5.
Open slather on overseas picks could blow up in our face badly. Anyone currently out of contract with Rebels would have to be seriously considering offers
Also on subject of props, would assume Tom Robertson is Wallabies eligible this year (before any changes) as only on sabbatical and back...
Squad shaping up nicely next year with the new signings.
The key will be whether we can get our first choice tight five on the field each week unlike this year.
Will be interesting if they take a gamble on Rodda for an extension or not
The negative reaction with Beale signing is overblown. It is only injury cover and they wouldn’t have paid much so don’t have a lot to lose. Lots of super rugby players have gone back to Shute shield and not stood out whereas he has looked good the last 2 games
As for the culture well he...
yeah makes the whole "ballot" system a bit of a farce. Any diehard rugby fan would have snapped up or tried to snap up tickets already rather than waiting on a possible ballot and no idea if they will get option to buy tickets. The silence is deafening.
Yep Richie Arnold was up there in contention as Eddie’s worst call and that is saying something
I can’t believe people are already suggesting Lynagh for the wallabies, he cannot defend and his kicks go about 10 metres, needs a lot more time
Tom Horton any chance of being a bolter for wallaby squad this year? None of the other hookers have really nailed a spot and he has been pretty good. Does the core skills well
I think wright and Kellaway have both been good and you could find a place for both of them in a 23. If you have a 5/3 split on the bench you could have Donaldson at 22 and Wright at 23 which gives you good coverage and impact.
4 day weekend yet they still cram all super rugby games into 2 days, why?
Both AFL and NRL have games on all 4 days
Would have been nice to have a game to watch tonight or even Sunday or Monday
There is as a lot from Stooke I agreed with as well as a lot I didn’t.
He is correct in saying the whole board needs to be accountable but McClennan definitely needed to fall on his sword and he did state that signing Eddie was a captains pick.
The whole discussion around women’s rugby and...
That’s a shame, have spoken to Ollie a few times after games and seems like a great young guy and had a great future. Hard to keep these young guys forever if they don’t get a shot, especially the ones from over East.
