Hudson Creighton was easily the best 10 on the weekend.

Donaldson and Gordon have both been selected in G&G’s TOTW on numerous occasions this year (for what it’s worth) so they must have been doing something right. And along with Lolesio, they are leading the Aussie 10’s for try assists with appx 6 whereas Lynagh has none. It will be very interesting...

“We still have issues at 9 and 10 with Tate unavailable and all of our 10s seemingly needing a strong set piece to be able to show their wares.” It’s a very good point you make BR. Does Schmidt dismiss some of our 9’s and 10’s because they are playing behind a beaten pack or losing team, even...

Not after last night’s performance. He’s a long way off and needs to first secure the starting 10 position at the Tahs. The way Edmed is going that shouldn’t be hard.

No...because he’s a 10 not a 15. It’s not like we have a shortage of fullbacks and it’s a specialist position. As someone mentioned earlier, Kellaway is a very smart rugby player and rarely makes a bad decision.

Kellaway is the only real candidate at 15 imo. He has been in outstanding form all year. The complete player.

Yes my mistake…cheers.

Wasn’t Edmed being talked up on this thread as the Wallaby 10 only weeks ago? Coleman has lost the plot.

Edmed?? No chance. One good game against an understrength Crusaders team. He offers absolutely no direction to his star studded backline and has a pop gun kick. Lolesio, Donaldson and Gordon are the form 10’s to date. Lolesio for his goal kicking and Donaldson and Gordon for their general...

‘Handbrake’ Edmed was being tipped by many on this forum to be the Wallabies 10 this year after one good performance against an understrength Crusaders. Interesting how quickly things change.

I like it. Stewart is in career best form. It would give the Wallabies a 12 who possesses a competent kicking game, a good support player who can sniff out a try, tackles at close to 100% and gives the team a second ball player to complement the 10. And despite his small frame, he is...

Yep exactly. They grow up playing barefoot in these conditions from a very young age. The Force aren’t doing too bad considering. Just need to eliminate the stupid penalties and try and get their fair share of possession and field position.

I find it interesting in what people see in player’s performances week to week and their varying opinions. For example Nutta’s TOTW compared to the ones selected here. So many different opinions. Obviously not withstanding bias towards their chosen team/players. Makes for good debate I guess? As...

Disagree. Donaldson takes the ball flat to the line better and more often than any of our Aussie 10’s. Hardly a shoveller. I believe he leads the comp for try assists out of all our playmakers. The difference this year is that he is playing in a team that plays predominantly off 10 as opposed to...

Still early days but the move west has certainly proved beneficial for Donaldson. He’s playing with so much confidence. He’s getting his hands on the ball a lot more with the Force’s expansive game plan which seems to suit his instinctive attacking style. He was a class above Lynagh tonight.

Just need a 10 who can get the ball to them!

Yes agree. No doubt at all that Gordon is a good player, but not convinced he is a good team player. As u correctly say, all of his highlights are individual ones. In my opinion he stifles the fluency of the backline. Last year in particular, I lost count of the number of times that the backs...

Jake overplays his hand imo which combined with Edmed’s preference to kick is resulting in their talented backline being starved of possession. The little amount of ball they received last week they made good use of. Makes no sense at all when you have skilful attacking players like Perese...
