So which wallaby would you leave out of the starting xv?

That was my exact team and the feedback from one was in extreme objection to JOC (James O'Connor) being the best 10 ahead of lynagh and HMP

In my best team he would, but this was in a response to JOC (James O'Connor) not playing 10. So figuring out which wallaby gets benched for a developing 10 in the best possible starting lineup.

So you would have 9. Mcdermott 10. TL/HMP 11. Vunivalu 12. JOC (James O'Connor) 13. Paisami 14. Flook 15. Petaia 22. Henry? 23. Campbell See, I just can't see shifting our best fullback out of the team to accommodate it, especially now that Petaia is at 15 and I don't think that's his best spot, and flook is...

He will probably play 12 outside of of these 2, but I think it is premature to state without a shadow of a doubt that a 20 year old with limited game time and a teenager with barely any, have cemented themselves ahead of him. Who would you leave out of the lineup to accommodate one of those...

He spent less then 2 years as a average assistant in an average team and never coached again. He currently talks shit on a mic and organises scratch matches with his old buddy wallabies. He is in no way or shape qualified to be running a top tier high performance program.

IMO petaia is not and won't be a good fullback. If you went 13. Flook 15. Petaia then Campbell is a wing. I think I am safe in saying that Campbell at 15 and Petaia on wing is better hten the other way around. 10. JOC (James O'Connor) 11. Vunivalu 12. Paisami 13. Flook 14. Petaia 15. Campbell is IMO still...

Oh this is not a defense of their financial dealings - I just believe they will sign Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) and not miss out because 'they can't afford it'.

We will get him on a long deal I reckon, up to next WC. Using a debt strategy, they'll spend well over the next coupl eyears securing talent, with a clear picture of the windfalls from 2025 AND 2027. It's the old spend money to make money - but in this case it's borrow money to make money (or...

The fried chicken at RR is better IMO - but everyone needs a wing --- or at least 2!

Hoping they are looking for wings...

Train and Trial with Tahs.

Still unsure of specialist wings...Potter anddd (can't think of 1 more, let alone 2 or 3.)

Ok so waratahs for MP (Moana Pasifika) were EPS prop Latu and u20 Hooker Maka

That would be huge. Seu is going to Japan but it could just be 1 season, with a late turn up for Moana. Mike Tindall has 179 caps for gloucester but prettttttty sure it won't be him.

Agree that Talakai has been under utilised recently as a standard solid THP. Definitely more useful then Nonggoor at least. Disagree that AAA has 'had his day'. I see Bell and Tupou starting with Slipper and AAA on the bench for 2024 and 2025.

How was he for Australia A series and Baabaas discipline wise? Play wise he was great.

IMO Hanigan, Hollway and Swinton all better then Hooper at test level - Hooper could go higher but isn't yet.

Cheika is a change merchant. An impact player - he can CLEARLY turn a team around. So 2 years is great - 4 not so much. Give the next guy a 2 year deal to B&I tour and then review again.

Well that's part of it I spose - he is so immature in regards to a posting outside of canberra.
