He’s erratic sure but so our plenty of Union players. Assuming consistency he’d be fantastic at 13.

Marce have a look at the performances of Sam Burgess or Tepai Meoroa while you’re orgasming over rugby league forwards playing crash ball center in Union. In saying that there are definitely league players who would be elite backs in Union, and its not Justin Olam (a 12/13 centre combination of...

I don’t know where to start with this.

Incorrect- the Waratahs aren’t a representative side; they are a professional franchise. They selected their seventh string prop to play 20 minutes against the Melbourne Rebels- let’s not get too hysterical.

Will be great for team culture.

This isn’t it.

I watched Gordon pretty closely over the weekend to see the extent that he ‘overplays his hand’ and for the first 30 minutes at least he played no differently to any other halfback in this competition. He connected directly with Edmed plenty of times and the structure was typical if not simple...

How good has Ravai been by the way!? He‘s been one of, if not the, best player all season.

Your exact statement said was that a fly-half who can’t kick has ‘no business in any Wallaby squad’, so I’d say it’s directly relevant. Gordon isn’t even that bad at kicking- he’s probably going to make the squad.

You know Larkham couldn’t kick goals so I don’t buy this ‘fly-half must be the squads best kicker’ business. Also doesn’t Gordon play golf of scratch? That suggests that given enough (injury free) time, he’s likely to be a decent kicker.

Just finished the game and have a few differing observations: - Backrow (and reserves) played tough and aggressive, but I think we’re missing a loose forward with more rugby nous and linking ability. Holloway has it but it can be limited playing in the second row. - I wouldn’t say that Edmed and...

He’s always been a good supporting player but as a ball player he still stands too deep and looks to shovel. He does have an absolute cannon on him though. I think Gordon is the most talented (and toughest) and plays the way we want our fly halves to by taking it to the line and looking for...

We tried him and he’s no better. Bite the bullet and pick Bowen, I’ve heard Edmed trains well but he‘s been given enough opportunities.

He’s honestly not tough enough.

Sua'ali'i has the skills to be far more rounded than Perese at 13- let’s hope he fulfills at least part of his potential.

So that one time he was able to collect a single point in a game we lost by 30 points? Are you intentionally being obtuse. This guys meant to be the best player in the world.

He’s a good player- but the NH circle jerk that goes on about him, Meafou (and even Mack Hansen) is a little ridiculous.

World Cup rugby is completely different- when has he performed in a rugby championship game?

Good try Reg but I wouldn’t want Bayley Kuenzle on the wing for Shute Shield let alone a Super Rugby game. The backline screams mediocrity and you know that.

So did Alofa Alofa- what’s your point? It’s completely relevant he’s never consistently performed in Bledsoe and RC rugby and when 70% of your test matches are in the Southern Hemisphere. It seems like were obsessed with this notion of a ‘point of difference’ player when Sam Whitlock and Brodie...
