I know it's only been two games but I'm curious about Champion de Crespigny's success. I didn't predict it. I thought he was a battler in a mid table team in France. I think it probably shows the quality of our teams to theirs. Sorta bucking the trend of the classic over vaunted foreign player...

https://greenandgoldrugby.com/community/threads/team-of-the-week-2025-super.19802/ I've started a thread to do GAGR TotW

Alrighty, I'll put my hand up for this exercise and collate the teams. Get your 1-15 of the week in. Has to be Aus eligible is my rule. We'll do one team for rounds 1-3: 1. Bell 2. Pollard 3. De Lutiis 4. Williams 5. Swain 6. Uru 7. McReight 8. Wilson 9. McDermott 10. Donaldson 11. Pietsch...

Thought Kellaway had a much better 2nd half, actually started opening up their defence.

Gordon you numpty

Makes a pretty fkn mean wallabies front row too with Tupou & Porecki.

Bad read by Henry there

Got the turnover for the Tahs try tho

MP (Moana Pasifika) lost that with their shit conversions. Fun game.

it kinda sucks doesn't it? I just re-did my entire team, choosing the highest scoring players and I have 17M left over. Admittedly I'm not doing very well but I've rolled the dice and put the young buck Finn Hurley as my triple scoring captain.

Has a championship winning coach ever left immediately? Deans? Happy for him to go get his bag though.

1007 days since his last appearance.

Very excited to see how O'Donnell goes, he has some speedy wingers there if he can link up. Big if though, between him, Jorgensen and Lancaster that's some young, inexperienced players.

What's the go on Hermaia Murray? Not respected by the Crusaders or a journeyman? Very happy to see Wright back.

Thought Tomkinson went well too, he's a loss.

WARATAHS (1-15): Angus Bell, Dave Porecki, Taniela Tupou, Hugh Sinclair, Miles Amatosero, Rob Leota, Charlie Gamble, Langi Gleeson, Jake Gordon (c), Tane Edmed, Darby Lancaster, Lalakai Foketi, Henry O'Donnell, Max Jorgensen, Andrew Kellaway Replacements: Mahe Vailanu, Isaac Kailea, Siosifa...

Yeah from his brief wiki it seems like he's been out of Aus for near 20 years now.

It does seem that players are much more likely to return from the UK than Japan. TBH I can't think of many players who've come back from multi-year contracts in Japan.

Just noticed that the DoR of Harlequins is an Aussie named Billy Millard. Any opinion on him? Should he be a bloke we should be bringing home?
