Maybe back home to queensland. Swap with Mafi. Hopefully they do keep uelese or get Latu!!! ooooohhhh. Intriguing.

Samu, like Mcmahon (for me) was super average as a starter 8. But off the bench, and even at 7, was pretty bloody useful.

Let's hope it starts with announcing Eloff. Hope the big fella goes west. Off contract and Sam Talakai has gone to Rebels. Medrano and Holmes leaving - probably the biggest (pun intended) hole to fill.

F The more time they gave him the better he did.

I heard/read a whisper that Rennie may be successful in getting greater leniency for WC squad selection.

They needed alot of recruitment last season. Eg . Lose Taefu and Kuridrani and hire...Kuenzle. Now losing Godwin and Kahui sooo...yep.

Plus hes not 28 and didn't arrive last year as their marque. So yup. lol.

Lopeti has already played for them. Sitaleki after his no vax stance..not sure where he has gone. At 35 - maybe nowhere, maybe end up US or Japan but not for Tonga.

Kepu has said he will support from his couch. BUT those players PLUS other ex internationals - Timani, Moala, Fafita, Pulu and maybe Moli Going to be a strng "1st XV" 1. Moli 2. Moli 3. Tuungafasi 4. Coleman 5. Lousi 6. Fafita 8. Timani 7. Fainga'a 9. Pulu 10. Faiava 11. Saumaki 12. Moala 13...

Yes please! Kerevi is an ideal target for a futures contract as he has expressed desire to return, and it allows for the picking of Arnold (or Banks) for the RC, and any tests next year leading to the WC.

Not sure what point you are making.....he came back to be a Wallaby - Rennie worked hard to get him back If he is not in the Wallaby 36 then I think they would use him in the Aussie A team along with every developing player and PONI not selected. Sounds more reasonable then paying him to sit...

Thats my Australia A 23 fyi, not wallaby 23.

Beale just came back for a RA contract - he will be back and eligible from france before the england series and should hopefully get at least 1 injury comeback game in France. Why would he not be in the Australian A squad?

6 backrowers in standard in a 33 man squad, let alone 36. It's the 5 actual centres that clogs it up a big . Hooker: Kaituu, Fainga'a, Porecki Prop: Sio, Slipper, Bell, Tupou, Ala'alatoa, HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) Lock: Swain, Rodda, Philip, Frost, Holloway BR: Leota, Valetini, Samu, Wilson, Hoops, Mcreight HB...

Its been reported Wallaby squad will be 36, all injured (except for Swinton) are expected to be available - including Beale who will return from France in time for selection. NOW we can start the guessing game on Australia A :)

Need 3 hookers so i think they will keep Maafu. Uelese is rumoured to be shopping around.

I don't think there will be Wallaby squad members in the Aussie A squad. Wallabies will be flying around to 3 different cities whilst the A Squad will be in Fiji. So no Mcreight or Gordon

I agree he did do a great job - but then you've jammed up the no.1 spot with Eloff, Orr and Gibbon. I just believe Eloffs value is high and he doesnt have the Victorian ties like Pone. If the force had signed Talakai (as I thought they should) then I wouldn't have this theory that Eloff is...

I think they'll keep them. Offloaded Folau and don't need to replace, can spread his money over the other 3.

He was hired AS a thp - believe the quote was - if you need a THP, go to southafrica.
