I thought the ball players - halves & flyhalf's were excellent this year and great to see some depth developing there, so cant wait to see what they and the team as a whole can do as it gains more synergy through preseason & into 2026!

Teddy Wilson was good but with only Lawson and Bowen there next year I think depth at ten is a concern

I wonder if the Force are just waiting to see how Pasitoa goes in the NPC.

The officially farewelled him yesterday. He's not signed to anyone else so they could theoretically decide they want to re-sign him after the NPC (if no one else gets in first), but if that was at all high in their thinking I doubt he would've been in the goodbye post.

No doubt Pasitoa is a very good player albeit one that has had a terrible run with injury. I think he would be a great signing for the Tahs if he can stay on the paddock as he can cover 10,12,&13. If he isn't snapped up I worry that he will emerge from his bad run of injuries and dominate somewhere like NZ, Japan, Europe, or the NRL.

Disagree. All the 10’s this year performed below average thus the reason McKellar chopped and changed so much throughout the season. I would have stuck with Creighton for the duration to build on combinations and develop cohesiveness. Will be interesting to see who they run with next year. Teddy Wilson however had a terrific season.

It just seemed to me that the game plan this year didn't suit Edmed - he's a running 10 who's best when challenging the line, but the plan this year seemed to have him entirely as a distributor, practically disappearing as a threat.

Edmed is definitely not a running 10. The best running 10 in Australian rugby is Donno, and I would say he is average at best. Wilson had a terrific year at 9 and I really look forward to seeing what he has to offer in the future. In terms of running fly halves, we have not really had one in Australian rugby since Quade. That and second row is currently where Australian rugby is really suffering let alone the Tahs.

Second row is more of a tahs problem then Australian problem. Reds have a handful, Force have Swain and Williams, Frost for the brumbies is good and there is quality tall timber overseas with Skelton and the Arnold twins to name a few.

Yeah, I get what you mean, but Edmed looked best when taking the ball square to the line rather than sitting back in the pocket. He's not a stepper like Quade or an open field runner like Donno. I'm not confident in the Tahs fly-half option improving much next year - but second row definitely will.
