I thought the same when i read it, but easiest way is to break it down into two words - pseudo - & - intellectual - then it makes complete sense

Some of us are pseudo intellectuals and the rest are self proclaimed geniuses

The Tahs have been very quiet, a distinct lack of promises and talking themselves up.
That is quite a change from the usual unrealistic PR machine promising that this is their year again.
Hopefully they are too physically tired for a couple more weeks as they get a serious fitness base in place

From the few videos/pictures online etc. the players are looking real lean. Hooper and Foley especially. I'd be interested to hear from people who know more about what has been going on with the S&C program. I know they went with a new provider this offseason but not much more.

I thought the Tahs issue wasn't that they weren't fit enough it was basically you were so far behind that by the time you woke up you couldn't catch the other team.. Just like the wobs at, the start of the season..

Mason suggests they are much fitter than last year in a fox video today

Let's hope they are also tougher, smarter, more creative and more accurate as well. Then we might win more than we lose. Wouldn't that be great?

So in my opinion after their respective seasons I think there is no way you start Hanigan, and there is no way you have Staniforth coming off the bench. Otherwise the team pretty much selects itself. My only other question mark / idea is that you could maybe play Folau on the Wing for Newsome and move Mason to 15.
1. Kepu
2. Latu
3. Robertson
4. Simmons
5. Staniforth
6. Dempsey
7. Hooper
8. McCalman
9. Gordon
10. Foley
11. TQN
12. Beale
13. Rona
14. Newsome
15. Folau

Oh goody! I'd be much happier if I knew that their power output went up by 25% than whether their aerobic fitness is better this year. Last year we got knocked backwards into Tuesday every time we went into a collision. Our aerobic fitness was a second order issue.
As evidence, rewatch the first half of last year's Blues game.
Hanigan had a strong Super Rugby season (particularly early in the season) and then played a bunch of tests.
Staniforth had a good NRC.
I think odds are on Hanigan starting over Staniforth.
I think Newsome is much better than Mason as an outside back (and being Super Rugby standard in general).

Dempsey is due back mid-April. There's no point selecting him in a so-called ideal team when the comp will be half over when he comes back.
Kepu is the THP and is selected at 3, Robertson is the LHP and is selected at 1. Note: Kepu is available only after his suspension is complete.
Has the McCalman signing been announced? He's still not included in the squad on the Tahs site.

I just don’t see Hanigan as being an adequate lock.............
Shirley you’d leave him at 6 and then work out your best options when Dempsey returns?
