Replacing Tepai at 12??

Good player but getting on a bit. I feel if he wanted to make a play for the Wallabies it should have been a season or two ago.

Like Sitaleki Timani and Caderyn Neville?
It seems clear that he's coming home because his eligibility got reset in Japan (did he come home during COVID?). He'd have to do another 5 years now in Japan to be eligible.
Solid depth signing. We just can't be paying him like an elite player because arguably he just adds depth to our backrow rather than obviously improving it.

RWV is an absolute weapon. Great signing by the 'Tahs. He was instrumental in my fantasy team back then, very damaging. I reckon could give Wallabies a fair shake.
Also, Angus Chrichton has forgone a longer contract extension and opted for a 1 year extension instead. Reckon he'll show up at the 'Tahs for RWC23?

Reckon that will be enough time to reacclimate to the game before France? I mean. I'll welcome his return. Just hope that if it happens he can make the transition as seamlessly as possible.
As for RWV I remember watching him play for the Sunwolves and thinking 'how the hell did we let this bloke get away?'. And then being resigned to losing him to Japan. But getting him back will be good. Looks like a really dynamic runner. Wonder what his passing/kicking game is like. If he cannot break into the squad via the forwards he's quick enough to play 12. And to be frank cannot be any worse the Morea. Man, I wish Morea proved a better signing than he has.

I remember his 1st game at 12 - it was a revelation. However a subsequent game I believe was not so good. They were far better served with Little at 12.
However could be Skeltonesque and be moving that way, though I think moreso he will be the Tahs Pete Samu.
With Hanigan, Swinton and Harris, someone either starting or off the bench needs some go forward.

Looks to like good signing. We complained about lack of tahs depth and to me this at the minimum gives more depth for bench etc given Dempsey going and looks like replacing the latter with similar quality so what is not to like.

Dempsey would be on good coin and who he is effectively replacing and looks to me offers as much as Dempsey and Dempsey would be on good coin.

Sinclair I think been quite good this season and covers 6 and lock and probably on not much coin so probably good squad cover.

Yeh read it again - says signed with Tahs AND Rugby Australia so looks like top up money from the latter?

It’s not normally announced as a dual signing in every instance.

The definition of stupidity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. Leaguies unless they are wing or fullback can’t make it in union. Forward skill set is much broader in Union, halves and centres league players are too bulky and game management is different. They can succeed at wing and fullback but will come with a limited or non existent kicking game.
Enough of the league players.
