Waratahs 2020

[upthereds#!]

Genia wanted to stay at the Rebels and Kerevi wanted to stay at the Reds.....didn't make much difference. Especially when they start talking about "it's in the managers hands".

Yeah, I'm sure the manager decides whether they take the $300K / year greater contract or not! It's standard PR-speak.

It's Hunt being nice, just like with Kerevi. "Oh I want to stay but manager needs to work it out". Eg. I want to seem nice but will leave for cash.

bit late in the season for any decent offers from europe or japan

 

[upthereds#!]

who says he hasn't already been offered something. They are still giving away WC joker spots - TBH I would have thought Hunt would be prime for one of those, but perhaps his recent injury means he wouldn't give them the confidence to make it through.

Plus current contracts usually run up to December 31st. So if RA and waratahs don't release him, he is here. Just means he will probs get a holiday before his next overseas contract. Most likely the close 2nd season of the Japan top league.

 

[Adam84]

Top14 pre-season is well underway, season proper kicks off in 3 weeks.
Players might still be negotiating Japan contracts, but I’m not sure if Hunts past will impact on his chance of contract in Japan. They’re typically quite strict on any bad behaviour in the past.

Holloway stays for 2 more years.

Coach is a big fan of his apparently.

So there is a coach?

As he should, it is his last contract, he will be a long time retired

Will it provide the answer or the question?

Only the answer.
The players must seek the question.

At least he's not foretelling the coach that is to come after him, who's plays he is unworthy to read

Slight error by Reg. It's the coach driver that's the big fan.

Tolu Latu has signed with Stade Francais
Michael Wells has offers from Reds and Brumbies on the table

 

[upthereds#!]

Foreign Legion team is looking goooood. Super rugby sides...not so good

Latu rumor has been around for months. Wells and the Reds is an interesting one. They have a great crop of backrowers (McReight, Scott-Young, Wilson, Wright). Wells doesnt offer what they lost in Higgers or Timu

Agreed - Reds need a barnstorming runner, got 6 and 7 covered. Wells would be another AK (Andrew Kellaway). Then again, Tahs could also use a impact>work type player.

You would assume the Tahs will plan to start with Hooper, Hanigan & Dempsey. They also have Will Harris & Patrick Tafa coming through

I'd say Swinton is above Harris and Tafa. Also without knowing the new coach we can't be sure of what they see as the best position for Hanigan and Holloway.
