Valentini 1st picked and could play 6 or 8 depending who fits best in the back row
6 - hooper/ leota/ Holloway if valentini not there
7 - mcreight / t hooper for the big back row - is Gamble a Smokey chance to be added to the squad for back up 7? Quite open for 2nd 7 with Wright, Reimer and...
Funny how quickly Kerevi best is forgotten
He came back and played no games from an acl and straight into the wallabies
The whole squad was bad last year
Originally the game plan in the backs revolved around Kerevi and we beat the boks back to back off it
Last year our good old mate Eddie...
Sua'ali'i wont bring a whole lot next year
Still have real trouble defending at centre in the nrl
Also still lacks any kind of passing game, step or fend to break tackles
Seems to be a winger only
Runs and tackles hard, gives it his all but seems to be lacking other parts to his game atm
The...
We all know your fanboy crush of Eddie which will never die
How can you still support him at all?
you said pre RWC Eddie’s so called new team was building for the future and I came back saying what’s the point if not part of the future if you fail?
that one stuck well
For $1.5ml he better kill it
Will he be 1.5 x better than Folau who was paid a $1m?
watching him play nrl I’m not that confident but let’s hope he is good
ATM he won’t make the roosters backline
Yes and rugby Aus has spent all their $ on a player in the nrl who is on $750K and spent $1.5m to get him back
What reason other then money is Sua'ali'i coming back? Has he been promised a wallabies jersey?
Exactly instead of offer $1.5m to some nrl prodigy who may or may not make it
Mark N (Nawaqanitawase) is allready proven but offered 1/3 or what Sua'ali'i was
Rugby league won this war this time round
Did he ever say he didn’t want to be here?
The coach this year tried to use that saying let’s build a team for the future and it didn’t end well
Next we will be building a team for the 2043 RWC
you pick the best team avaialable at the time and atm Mark N (Nawaqanitawase) would be there for sure
it’s just...
Rugby AU probably asked Marky N to leave so Sua'ali'i could take the right wing spot for tahs as it would have embarrassed is he was on the bench for the Waratahs behind Mark N (Nawaqanitawase) for 3 x the money
Couldn’t agree more
Sua'ali'i in nrl on around $750k, signs with Aus rugby for $1.5m with many parts of his game still needing to improve
While Marky N goes the other way for less then Sua'ali'i was on!
Flook a good chance and providing he stays injury free I like the look of Isaac Henry as a 12. Big strong unit who can ball play as well
Toole and jorgo may go close
Pasitoa or edmend for 10
Can Charlie gamble get back into consideration?
it’s really start again
Also is marika actually...
It worked well until this year
Skelton was good
Kerevi and koribete have been 2 of the wallabies best players over the last 5-6 seasons even though this year wasn’t their best
We don’t have depth or good replacements in Aus and with lack of teams and more quality heading overseas we need to...
