Tahs vs Reds (Super AUS), Narrabri 20/09/25 @ 5:45 pm

[Wilson]

what did he do??

"reckless/dangerous play"

Not sure the specific incident, he did cop a yellow for repeated infringements during the Force game but that was for not rolling away. Must have been something they picked up after the fact.

 

[Strewthcobber]

I wonder where he will serve the suspension for the final game of the three

Probably the Australia A game against a Japan XV on the 18th of October, not sure he can claim that 2nd bledisloe from outside the squad. Only other chance would be if the tahs had any games booked in against Kubota or similar like last year, but I'm not aware of any.

Might also be able to do coaching intervention/tackle school for the discount though - it's always applied after the ban so the 3 weeks reported could actually be 2 with tackle school.

I obviously don't know, but from the sounds of it "reckless/dangerous play" probably wasn't a tackle (else would be described as reckless/dangerous tackle), and he won't be eligible for the school

Probably not a tackle, but could be a cleanout which is eligible for coaching intervention - see Dan Sheehan's cleanout on Lynagh.

Hard to say without knowing the original offense, it's only been referenced in team naming articles in a general way at this point.

 

[Daveyyyyy]

I don’t know if he wants to play it but Henry at 10 could be lethal. I saw him play at 10 years ago and has a boot on him

 

[Dctarget]

Pretty cool to have two hometown players in Fowler and Harvey playing in Narrabri this weekend. Would love to see Sid make the step up.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

It is cool. Not much more you can do for local grass roots Clubs then have locals show up in the pro gear.

Confident he'll get there in time. These games are good for him after spending a good stint with the Aus 7s program. I think he will likely head back there with the back 3 options at the Tahs not lacking.

He reminds me a lot of Foley with a touch of Rogers. High note players I know, but he's a playmaker who is at the back.

Iv'e said it before about Rugby needing to identify skill sets within the sport who may be able to shift to 10 and he's a glaring one. Like Foley who debuted as a Fullback for NSW. They have the skillset but then that back 3 mindset of see a gap and get through it.

Did Foley ever have top end pace?

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Early in his career he was pretty quick over that first 15-25m which is what you need to get through the half gap and then find a support player.

Might be a good option to loan to the Brumbies given the injury that they had with Wright,

I'm pretty confident that given time he'll carve up. Always has the massive boot to fall back on.
Wallace Charlie looked very promising last weekend. Rugby just about needs to copy and paste how they developed Harvey. Although, he's not as much a playmaker, the kid looked frighteningly quick off the mark! Also massive boot.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

He's a genuine Wing/Fullback. Put him into the 20s squad with other elite talents and he'll excel given more space and 1v1 opportunities. NSW were able to group defend him as they didn't seem to threatened by other players.

 

[Strewthcobber]

Foley had acceleration and enough speed to be a decent run threat for a lot of his career.

He had a couple of years in the 7s team which shows he had it, but also got some development in it

 

[Adam84]

Sid Harvey should move north to QLD as a Jock Campbell replacement
