Abit of common sense with Aus A and under 20s filtering back to club rugby now Looking at some teams across Shute shield, QPR and JDC there is plenty of super rugby players, wallabies and Aus a guys back! And some from japan and MLR back in Aus Perhaps guys like Donaldson and pietsch having...

Yes take on the new squad 1. Will be a fight to the 3rd centre spot between Foketi and perese to join Kerevi and ikatau at RWC 2. People playing themselves out of selection - gibbon and nongurr up front! Pone is a unit but the 3rd LH is a worry, no Robertson and gibbon not favoured now, bring...

Who else plays 12? Massive drop to next man up What else can he get game time in? We have no NRC or NPC He is still playing well! Just not a 10 out of 10 yet He is playing better then half the team at the moment

And he is still playing quite well Just because it’s not 10 out of 10 - more like 8 out of 10 he isn’t playing well? We have no other 12 near Kerevi so give him a chance Yes test match rugby is not easy to come back from injury but what other options do we have? We have no NPC / NRC and every...

As I said I do and rate jorgo above Sua'ali'i Sua'ali'i is physically built well but lacks game smarts, while jorgo not the same physical presence is ahead of Sua'ali'i in most parts of rugby

Thoughts on the play so far SA B side was a lot better then their A side, they used the ball and their backline unlike their main side who is to under the faf / pollard handing over possession and hope the other team makes a mistake SA have plenty of depth but their B team outplayed their A...

I hope he does come good He looked better last year on the wing and World Cup My main point was yes he did well in year 9 and 10 at school but a lot of early maturing / Pacific Islander kids do when they look like men against boys My challenge for him is he needs to round out his game not...

Without success? He has still been solid and if ikatau does not get injured he would have not been moved to 13 and having to do as much laterally We saw haw far of a fall it was to Paisami and Foketi so I’ll take a 75% Kerevi over any other 12 we have so far There is still 10 weeks until RWC...

Many kids are great against other kids until they come up with the adults Early maturers Until I see him make tacklers moving laterally, jump got the ball on high kicks, pass a ball, make a step of fend in attack I’ll keep my thoughts and so will Most who watch rugby league If he turns out...

Kerevi will get there, he is only a couple of games back from an acl injury Once he and Quade click - Kerevi is so vital for this backline - actually the most important player in the team We have no one like him, would be the most dominant centre atm In terms of Sua'ali'i there is something...

Good side I think out of the 40 man squad jones picked the below 7 may miss out on final 23 T hooper (will be one of Holloway/ Leota/ hooper) Kemeny Mcreight or Gleeson (either 2 spec 7s and Samu back up 8 with valetini or Gleeson and Samu to cover 7 with Leota) Donaldson Perese Pietsch...

Need to take out 1 back rower and add a 3rd halfback Other then that looks good Also ikatau should be back in time to take over perese

When and where is this game? In the next couple of weeks or closer to RWC?

Has anyone heard if there are any more games? Missed the boat not playing in Pac nations cup, or even scheduled against NZ 15 pre bled cup game I presume the 30 players in the A squad will go back to club rugby? And maybe 5-10 from wallabies squad to get game time? Only 30 players in wallaby...

Foketi has played 13 before Would be a safer option then perese And most likely 3rd centre taken to rwc so should get first shot Petaia - would like him in there as well as for Korobeti is and will be one of the first picked each week We have plenty of good ball running outside backs...

1. Slipper (40 min only) 2. Porecki 3. AAA (40 min) 4. Skelton 5. Arnold 6. Leota 7. Hooper 8. Valetini 9. White 10. Hooper 11. Korobeti 12. Kerevi 13. Foketi / petaia if fit 14. Marky N 15. Kellaway 16. bell - 2nd half 17. Uelese 18. Tupou - 2nd half 19. Phillip / frost 20. Samu...

Well the bledislode will be a whitewash - just by how much positives Bell and tupou coming back from injuries, bell looked strong and they will be in front of slipper and Allan by end of bledislode cup I think Leota will be the first choice 6 Kerevi, Marky n and Marika looks strong...

What’s the process now with Aus a game done? No more games scheduled after this week will jones just pick a 40 odd man squad to keep going? will Aus a players now go back to club rugby unless called upon? only one to come in def will be tupou Wilson, LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto), Neville may come in! IFL looked good...

Tough game That Tonga side is very good Folau, piatau, fekitoa, v fifita with Coleman, timani, pulu, moala, laumape and kata to come into it it will give some top sides trouble Massive pack and back line Thoughts not Many will have pushed for a wallabies spot. Particularly when there is a...

So seems gibbon, nongurr, Suli and hodge dropped which is no surprise Hooper and hooper injured Frost and Samu injured, rotated or dropped? Bell back and pone Better bench options, with tupou back soon! Once kellaway and petaia back these will take out Marky N and either Wright or a bench spot...
