Oh I'm sure he will go hard at Hockings also. Not for this year but for the next cycle. Arnold, Arnold, Skelton & Neville likely won't be seen in gold post the WC, or at least post Lions (except Neville). Philip just stay away. Leaving Rodda, Frost, Swain here. LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) and Amarosino will add needed...

Going to the club where Eddie is a consultant. Wouldn't been surprised if he got the early notice he is not in plans for this WC, or even Lions, but for next WC. Can see him coming back for 26/27 - perhaps hockings also.

BOTH - that's not good. Lukhan to the rebels!

Bench for that team would be something like... 16. Kaituu 17. Wagner 18. Amone 19. Kalapu 20. Wells 21. Simpson 22. Pasitoa 23. Pulu

Tahs keeping Hanigan and Holloway - have picked up Amarosino and Fergus Leewarner. Whilst he would be a good fit, it costs money to bring him and I don't think there is space. With Swinton and Gleeson in the backrow, makes it hard to move Hanigan, Holloway or FLW (Fergus Lee-Warner) to 6. Could be wrong, but I...

Yes

Hockings AND LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) - would actually be a great combo

Hopefully they can try again for a lock with a style we actually need, with some go forward - or get Lukhan back now Brad is bye bye

Hearing Luke Jones is done. May not continue his contract. Well set for civilian life.

Haha that's fantastic!

Article read said HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) did a number on him.

If Tupou CAN'T go - then HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) goes. Do well at THP and can play LHP. If Bell CAN'T go - then Robertson goes. Ok LHP and can squeeze THP at a pinch against minnows. Slipper, Bell, Ala'alatoa, Pone, HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes)

Ahhhh ok didn't notice Faingaas - yeh must be a choice.

Maybe he declared for fiji officially in the off chance of being considered for the WC? If he finishes the Super Rugby season well as a regular starter it couuuuullllddd be a chance - though they have Nathan Hughes back in frame as well. Born and raised in Australia but yeh..interesting. On a side...

Part of why they went to 33 I imagine. Though you can replace a permanently injured player. Most teams took 5 when it was 31.

It only MIGHT go to 14 backs if you carry the 6th prop (which some may) But usually that means going 4 locks and 5 backrowers, with one of them being a lock/6 hybrid - like a mostert, dutoit, kremer, holloway - it doesn't usually shorten the back squad. You'd never carry a 5th lock or 7th...

I think Arnold will be there. Philip and Rodda will only have to play a bit to keep out Swain.

HB: Mcdermott, Gordon, White FH: Quade, Foley, Gordon C: Foketi, Kerevi, Ikitau, Hodge OB: MarkyMark, Koroibete, Kellaway, Wright, Petaia That could be the back contingent (Foketi v Paisami). You could keep both, or include a Paisami, Perese or Jorgenson if Hodge acts as the 3rd 10.

2 full locks is not that common. Mostert was the SA player and he was absolutely considered a blindside aswell Without mucking up your starting team or the rest of them (only locks and br) res. 16. Lonergan 17. Slipper 18. Tupou 19. Arnold 20. Leota 21. Gleeson Hopefulyl Swain won't be near...
