EOYT 2014

[Wilson]

Word is it'll be Sean McMahon.

Pat McCutcheon a shot you'd have to think?

I like the humour surrounding Fardy's replacement all being Waratahs, and while I would prefer Jones and could live with either Grey or Butler, I don't think Holloway would be out of contention either.

 

[Grandmaster Flash]

Think Pek Cowan deserves another shot. I've been a big fan of Benn Robbo over the years but he has had little to no impact off the bench the past few games, where's Cowan's ball-running could have helped a lot in those final five minutes at Suncorp.

Is Cottrell injured at the moment or a chance for a call-up now Fardy is out?

 

[Hugh Jarse]

If Cheika becomes coach, surely the EOYT is the ideal time to solve the Wallabies problems at hooker by unleashing Randwick's 2nd grade hooker onto world rugby.

Does anyone happen to know what the next Phil Kearns' name is?

Patrick HODGETTS ---- "come on down".

Wicks 2nd grade hooker from Round 1 2014 (vs Beasties).
(He got a meat pie, so he must be an awesome candidate).

I think you've put the cart before the horse there.

They're still working out who picks the squad, let alone when they get to pick it and announce it.

Perhaps, and I know they had the Brisbane Test to consider for injuries - but still very surprised that a Tour party has not been put together with only 6 days to the flight...

The reason Robinson came back in ahead of Cowan seemed to be the scrum though. Neither of them are close to Slipper who is one of our best players. I think you've got to go down the route of picking your most solid scrum to come off the bench as opposed to wanting props who are better at running the ball. Horwill and Hodgson should have provided enough carrying options from the bench.

Cottrell is still returning from the broken leg to my knowledge.

Perhaps, and I know they had the Brsibane Test to consider for injuries - but still very surprised that a Tour party has not been put together wi
th only 6 days to the flight.

The ARU are hoping both will be announced today.

I believe the squad would have only been announced yesterday if McKenzie was still the coach.

 

[Joe Blow]

Jones will be on the plane regardless I would think.
Is McCalman fit?

McCalman is out for the rest of the year I believe.

 

[Highlander35]

So when are they leaving? Friday?

 

[Ash]

Yeah, Friday. Lotta time to prepare.

Alan Jones?

no

 

[Scrubber2050]

Alan Jones?

BUMMER !

 

[boyo]

BUMMER !

Or bummed.

 

[Train Without a Station]

I hope no Reds go. Keep them fresh for the Super Rugby season.

The Reds just tweeted that Slipper, Horwill, Hanson, Simmons, Genia, Cooper, Fainga'a are all on the EOYT.

So McCalman is healthy, Palu and TPN still crocked.

No real surprises.

 

[No4918]

let's face it, who else could he pick.
