I guess that's a reflection on AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)'s form...


It could possibly be for covering the most positions. Shifting AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) gives coverage at 11/14 and 15, where's having Mogg would shift Izzy to 14 or 11 with no OC coverage.

Here's an interesting question, and will probably no doubt spark some debate: what would the Wallaby pack actually be if everyone was available?

I honestly would go for something like:

1. Robinson
2. Moore
3. Slipper
4. Pyle
5. Horwill
6. Mowen
7. Pocock
8. Higgers

But even then there are problems. Jeez we have some really deep forward issues in this Country.

recent lurker - first time poster ....while I have been silently in agreement with many on this thread about benching Genia in favour of White, I can't help feeling a tinge of nausea when I read it. Maybe its second thoughts. Maybe it's nervous anticipation. We'll see.

With Mowen's performances recently Palu at 8 and Higgers at 6 would be my preference. And I would probably pick Fardy to partner Horwill.

the deepest issue is that as far as I am aware all the props are actually available and that seems to be where the biggest problem of all is. 5-8 there is world class in any team.

Welcome. I know just how you feel. I keep reminding myself that White has a pretty solid head on his shoulders though - but yeah, it's a bit bizarre.

You may be right. I have little clue about scrums. But for the most part it's not the props hitting the ground, standing up or even being cleaved from Moore. They are being shunted backwards and need more from the rest of the pack.

I like White, but i am not sure if he has the big game temperament we require. I also find it hard to blame any of the backline for the last couple of games, when the forwards cannot get any go forward

How many people now nervous about the run on selection of White were bemoaning the fact that he had surgery last year, missed the Spring tour, and handing the #9 Gold Jumper to Phipps when Sanchez went down with knee problems?

Plenty of Gaggerlanders believed that he was ready to step up to Test level nearly 12 months ago. What has changed to make us nervous now?

Wallabies have opened up at $1.20 in the betting with the Argies up around the $4.70 so clearly someone thinks we'll win it, and by around a dozen points by the looks of the line betting.

Have to wonder how this season would've panned out if KB (Kurtley Beale) had kicked the winner in the 1st Lions Test. Does anyone know what the surface is like in Perth now?

Suncorp still wasn't fantastic last week with Cummins falling on his arse when through after the ground slipped from under him.

Is it too soon to suggest the best selection change may be J White replacing E McKenzie? And just about anyone else replacing the current crop of assistants?

And, given the way some players are walking rather than running when getting into position off the ball, finding the most evil, psychopathic bastard available for strength & conditioning. And giving him a bullwhip.

I did say I was not going to say anything until after the game.
BUT with the team announced, I did like the way white and cooper worked together when they came on against the AB's. so I'm looking at that as a postitive.

I've got a afternoon of lawn bowl pots of beer as my mate is moving down to middy country (NSW) so I will be in top form if we lose,better form if we win.

Until then I will enjoy the boorish post on GNGR. That's a piss take towards that fuckhead jurno.

Mowen needs to step up at 8. He's shown his skill at 6 but been average at best at 8. Douglas needs to show he deserves the spot or he might not get it again. Moore needs to show how good he really is. Folau needs to show he can kick. Cummins needs to show he can catch.


The whole fucking team need to show their worth. None of them are hitting the standard that we'd expect from Wallaby players.
