He has signed a three year deal with Edinburgh which has an opt out clause if he is selected for the Wallabies. it isn't about 'keeping him interested' its about keeping him in Australian rugby, especially as he shows the most potential to be a dominant international winger. If his current...

Isn't that all the more reason to keep him in Australia? We already lost Nadolo, a Nudgee college graduate and possible wallaby to the crusaders and the Fijian national team (granted he was shite at the time). Why not strive to keep this big unit, even if it means playing him on interchange at...

Yet he didn't drop a sitter on the tryline

Maybe not world cup, just unleash him on Argentina in the rugby championship. His contract has an opt-out clause if he gains a wallabies cap. I really think he needs to stay

After this weeks performance I think it is in Australian rugby's interest to select Taqele Naiyaravoro for the wallabies. It's a hard task when choosing between Speight, Horne, Cummins, Betham and Tomane but the man is a bull and if he doesn't reach selection he's off to scotland. Tankele...

Or teach him to play 8 for Palu, god why aren't I a coach!!!

Cheika should start teaching Naiyarovoro to scrum at THP, then all of our woes at the loss of Kepu are solved! ;) speediest prop in the world...

Would rather they brought Mowen back with the gap in salary left by Kepu, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Palu etc.

Dean Mumm has been signed for the 2016 season

So in the light of Palu leaving and the prospect of re-signing McCalman, who else could be a chance to fill Cliffy's shoes? Tala Grey is built in the frame of Palu and he is injured just as often. Holloway has the talent and the engine but is built in the frame of Higginbotham rather than Palu...

Wait up fellas, I think I'm being misinterpreted. What I mean is that League teams seem to be recruiting players into paying contracts from ages as young as 17-18 with a minimum yearly salary of $80,000. Rugby Union hasn't nearly enough cash to compete with that which is why athletes like Angus...

The problem apparent with Moeroa is that Rugby has a very poor recruitment system to the younger talent pools. Many a league player has been scouted from a rugby based school

Yeah, Tepai was on contract with the eels since he was 15 years old. his current signing is until he is 21 or 22, hopefully he can make the move back to centre and be signed by an Australian union team. He's an absolute weapon and apparently the chiefs have shown some interest already...

Jacpot spilled at least 4 carries, what the hell was going on? Izzy slipped and dropped a sitter as well as buggered up his own linebreak? Phipps passed like a spinwheel, the only positive was that the Reds were twice as dreadful. Should have been a demolition job...

I agree with the backs, but Ryan is the most useless scrummager in Australia. There are schoolboys that could best him in the tight. Bugger him off to Europe quick and spend the cash on solid young props.

sounds good, totally forgot about Naiyarovoro. Agree with everything here but Caderyn Neville. I would be moving Timani to 4. and Fotu Auelua to 8.

Samu Kerevi outshines most players on that list for wallabies potential especially ahead of Inman

Ok. The posts in this thread kind of confuse me as a week by week there is sudden enthusiasm/disdain for players. This would be mine Slipper/Sio TPN Kepu Simmons Skelton Dennis Hooper Pocock/Auelua/McCalman Phipps Foley Speight Kerevi/To'omua Tev Kuridrani Horne/Badger Folau Reserve...

Everybody needs to stop stressing and trust in Grand Admiral Cheika's planning...

So what are we thinking of Rory Arnold? Is he showing much other than size? Has he bulked up or slimmed down since training began? Could he be the brumbies Skelton?
