I would like to see RWV get more time and if Foketi is out, the 12 jumper might be a way to do it. However I think until we have Harrison back at 15 then the backline will be too one dimensional with a centre pairing of RWV and Perese.
The bye has come at a good time.

Yes, I can recall seeing RWV in the centres for the Sunwolves, but I can't bring to mind how well he went there. I recall he did seem to have a solid short passing game with quick hands in that continuous flow style of attacking rugby that Tony Brown seems to instill in his teams. I just don't recall if he was much of a distributor? if the game plan calls for it.

... I agree that it's nice to see a few different permutations and options available and considering the growing list of currently injured players, a season ago I'd be expecting Rebels level results. Brumbies & Reds have had markedly better deapth for awhile. It's nice to see the Waratahs be able to slot in players and have them actually perform. Speaks to some positive progress behind the scenes.

Rugbynutter39, one of the serious good thinkers one here (and I'm not being facetious here, I really enjoy reading your posts) and having a good crack at being the worst speller! ;)

Great game by the boys. Tahs go up a level with Gordon and Hooper. Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) again shows that he has done his homework in the off-season, great game.

I really like Dylan Pietsch, he works hard and he has lots of potential BUT he needs to back himself. he did the same thing against the Reds early in the season. run straight mate! He has the size and I would have backed him to score that try.
 
Pass it to Dunning!

I think bombing that try is enough to relegate Pietsch to the bench next week. I don't think he's done enough to merit getting picked in the first 15 next week, not when Harrison is at full fitness and Newsome can play wing.

I reckon Edmend has been pretty darn good the last few weeks. He’s got a really nice combination with Foketi. It’s a shame because I’d like to see Harrison at 10 but I reckon the best way forward is for him to play 15 with one of Donaldson and Edmend starting and the other on the bench.

I think we are seeing the benefits of solid recruitment as roberts as back up may prove useful as Foketi’s knee did not look good and with roberts at least you don’t lose too much if have to play him at 12 instead of Foketi. voyasayko also played centre so also gives another backup option there. Hard to believe got so much good depth options given where tahs were last year. Have to give lot of credit on solid recruitment strategy as players brought in quality and made a difference ie cridge, voyasayko, roberts..while lot of players made big step forward this year ie gamble, newsome, Holloway, marky n, pocketi

Agreed. I think Edmed has done very well and should be rewarded to start again, even though Donaldson should be available. Harrison‘s best position is fullback with Edmed and Donaldson better 10’s imho... a luxury for the Tahs...
A win against the Chiefs this Friday will really cement Coleman as the best Waratah coach for a while.
Should be a good game.
