    Vui slots straight onto the bench TH spot, Fingers crossed we may also end up with Rona and McCalman.... which sorts out the 13 spot but adds to the back-row barn dance........ What we'd give for a big hard nosed Super Rugby!! Hopefully Newsome steps up and owns the other wing slot, we really need some...

    As a semi regular attendee at both, I would add that the better the experience you have, the more likely you are to attend! If they make it highly conducive for family groups to attend, you're going from the diehards like myself with one ticket to my little family of 4 in one go! Not a bad...

    I'm sure you're right re: cap changes, my frustration was mainly at the whole Force to Rebels transplant debacle. The entire premise was that the Force were wound up to strengthen the financial sustainability and increase the competitiveness of all of the remaining 4 franchises, not just the...

    You should take that one up with Wayne Smith... link and excerpt below apparently quoting a RA spokesman. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/rugby-union/next-rugby-boss-to-inherit-salary-cap-crisis/news-story/55ab52f729d5ded529e0d9381a8f4134 "While the Waratahs and Reds are understood to be...

    Was ANY evidence ever presented to back that one up mate? ............ crickets........!

    Waratahs 2018

    Must be something in the water down there in Melbourne (and Canberra).... Salary caps and all that don't really matter do they? Wayne Smith reports that likely only Reds and Tahs contracting within the cap..... Now becomes clear why both franchises picked very few of the Force roster. So as it...

    loads of assumption of course! Unfortunately I don't have any direct access to the powers that be at Tah land, I'm just a disappointed fan who wishes there was a bit more foresight with their recruitment.

    Waratahs 2018

    With the latest force signings announced, the last cabs off the rank look like Coleman, McCalman, Rona and Louwrens. We need them all!! We are really week in the o/s backs and lock area plus need a 3rd halfback. Rebel Force have signed Ainsley, Daley, Faulkner, Rangi, Philip, RHP...

    Rep Aus schoolboys, U 20's but never looked like kicking on from my recollection

    Waratahs 2018

    Hopefully we can pick up another potentially decent Super Rugby - Richie Arnold and a couple of O/S backs... Rona? Peni? Even Magnay could be looking for a gig? We really need anothor big fast O/C + a winger with turbo speed... Has Foketi been killing it in NZ?

    Waratahs 2018

    + 10000% If an entire super rugby club squad becomes available for re-assignment how can the tahs and reds end up with a grand total of nil force players to help strengthen the roster then there is something very strange going on. We all know the Rebels needed probably another half dozen top...

    Waratahs 2018

    Any whispers on Tah signings other than Robinson?? It'd be lovely to hear we picked up a TH (Vui?), a lock Philip/Arnold/Coleman),and 2 O/S backs (Rona/Peni/another) If spots are at a premium, then negotiate an exit for the surplus guys who haven't kicked on........

    Brumbies 2018

    The Brumbies are red hot favourites to win the conference, and if the tahs get 7 in the 23 they'll be peaking! Simmons is on the way out of the squad, Hanigan will give way to Dempsey/Pocock and find himself out of the 23, Robertson will be out to Slipper and will struggle to have any more than...

    Brumbies 2018

    Have to call BS on this one mate......... I count 7 Tahs likely to play test footy next year with Brumbies at 6 in the 23 with Reds and Rebs making up the difference 14 Speight (Wallaby) Currently in 23 13 Kuridrani (Wallaby) Currently in 23 10 Lealiifano (Wallaby) Probable backup 10 if returns...

    Really need another TH - Ainsley or Vui would both work Another lock, Philip or Richie Arnold a 13 - Rona would be an excellent fit and another winger, a speedster to complement the Tank (TN) on the other wing. with Peni or Newsome ideal. We are a very short on muscle in the pack 2018...

    Waratahs 2018

    As the Force signings are starting, I reckon our Tah wishlist should be for.. a TH either of Vui or Ainsley 2 Locks out of Coleman, Philip or Arnold 2 o/s backs Pref Meakes, and Rona or Peni etc With that lot on board we are looking v strong as will all the...

    Where to for Twiggy Rugby?

    As I remarked, "When one team is particularly strong, we have 2 teams that are basket cases. When the talent is more evenly distributed we have 5 ordinary teams. ie 2017"
