Tongan Thor should play 12 you reckon Marce?

He’s erratic sure but so our plenty of Union players. Assuming consistency he’d be fantastic at 13.

Marce have a look at the performances of Sam Burgess or Tepai Meoroa while you’re orgasming over rugby league forwards playing crash ball center in Union. In saying that there are definitely league players who would be elite backs in Union, and its not Justin Olam (a 12/13 centre combination of...

I don’t know where to start with this.

Incorrect- the Waratahs aren’t a representative side; they are a professional franchise. They selected their seventh string prop to play 20 minutes against the Melbourne Rebels- let’s not get too hysterical.

Will be great for team culture.

This isn’t it.

I watched Gordon pretty closely over the weekend to see the extent that he ‘overplays his hand’ and for the first 30 minutes at least he played no differently to any other halfback in this competition. He connected directly with Edmed plenty of times and the structure was typical if not simple...

How good has Ravai been by the way!? He‘s been one of, if not the, best player all season.

Your exact statement said was that a fly-half who can’t kick has ‘no business in any Wallaby squad’, so I’d say it’s directly relevant. Gordon isn’t even that bad at kicking- he’s probably going to make the squad.

You know Larkham couldn’t kick goals so I don’t buy this ‘fly-half must be the squads best kicker’ business. Also doesn’t Gordon play golf of scratch? That suggests that given enough (injury free) time, he’s likely to be a decent kicker.

Just finished the game and have a few differing observations: - Backrow (and reserves) played tough and aggressive, but I think we’re missing a loose forward with more rugby nous and linking ability. Holloway has it but it can be limited playing in the second row. - I wouldn’t say that Edmed and...

He’s always been a good supporting player but as a ball player he still stands too deep and looks to shovel. He does have an absolute cannon on him though. I think Gordon is the most talented (and toughest) and plays the way we want our fly halves to by taking it to the line and looking for...

We tried him and he’s no better. Bite the bullet and pick Bowen, I’ve heard Edmed trains well but he‘s been given enough opportunities.

He’s honestly not tough enough.
