Waratahs 2023

We are better off trying to Include Edmed, Donaldson and Harrison in the starting team.

Harrison for me could be the wallabies 15 solution we have been looking for.

So I don’t expect KB (Kurtley Beale) will be wearing the 15, or any jersey at the Tahs anytime soon.
I personally find it an unfortunate shame no matter how this plays out.

The Waratahs have some options, but it was nice to think there was some depth and choice there. I was actually curious to see what KB (Kurtley Beale) might be able to bring with his desire to be in world cup contention.

I'm really looking forward to Harrison's return and am hopeful he's bounced from his unfortuantely run of injuries. Lots of promise.

Edmed to me looks like he could handle 12 and I love having a left footed option in the backline to open up the field which Harrison has.

All three of these players are really great. To think Donaldson is capped and he might be the third stringer is actually pretty awesome.

Gordon at the Rebels, Lolesio at the Brumbies, Pasitoa at the Force. I think Lynagh at the Reds is a little away. Wouldn't be surprised to see one of the Waratahs up there next year.

Edmed as 12 is a genuine option.

Not that I underestimate how good Foketi is as well.

Foketi will get first opportunity and deservedly so after playing for the Wallabies and how he improved last year. Tahs decided Simone wasn’t the one then he blossomed at the Brumbies. Hopefully the same happens here but he’s still wearing Sky Blue. He has every chance to be the best 12 domestically because I’m not sure about Paisami and feel he went slightly backwards

Don't also forget Joey Walton who was developing well before his injury.

I don't disagree that Foketi will be 12 and deserves it. Just think that it is a position Edmed could play at some point. Foketi has continued to develop and deserved his wallaby shot.

I don't think they'll be in any rush to move Nawaqanitawase off the wing, he's just found really solid form there, best to let him build on that for a while. Fullback will should be Harrison and Donaldson for the most part.

I’d pick 9 Wilson 10 Edmed 11 Harrison 12 Donaldson 13 Nadolo 14 Walton 15 Perese.

For the first trial. Come the comp it'll be:

9 Gordon 10 Edmed 11 Nawaqanitawase 12 Foketi 13 Perese 14 Pietsch 15 Harrison 20 Wilson 22 Donaldson 23 Walton/Nadolo
