    Apologies as wasn't having a go at your post. I just can't see the Tahs winning consistently without a good fly half. It is that simple.

    Waratahs 2024

    We need a fly half who can pass, kick, create space, split the defence and defend. New Zealand fly halves are the best at this, Mo'unga, Barret, Carter, Spencer to name a few. I see Will Harrison as the one with the most potential. I like Edmed but can't see him take the line on to many times...

    Like I said on the Fiji match thread, careful McReight is sacred on this site.

    RWC: Pool C - Wallabies v Fiji - Monday 18 Sep 2am AEST

    Be careful my friend, there are a few players in this team that are considered sacred on this forum. McReight is one of them. Been saying for a while they should be playing a bigger back rower than McReight. Have not watched the games yet but by all reports on here looks as though I wasn't far off.

    RWC: Pool C - Wallabies v Fiji - Monday 18 Sep 2am AEST

    Ah yes perhaps potential to have that go about him over time. My bad. We won't know if he isn't given a go. Not saying drop Valentini even though he has been a bit quiet. Just resting him. I think he has played huge minutes this year and might benefit from a rest.

    RWC: Pool C - Wallabies v Fiji - Monday 18 Sep 2am AEST

    Yes lumbering giants of quivering meat in other positions. This is going to be hugely unpopular here, however I would like to see Gleeson given a go at 8 with Valentini on the bench. Valentini is great at Super Rugby level but lately has been reminding me of Cliffy Palu, not bringing a lot to...

    RWC: Pool C - Wallabies v Fiji - Monday 18 Sep 2am AEST

    True, McReight is a good defender and a great link player as well. Note, I wasn't characterising McReight so much a pilferer he however he does have a smaller frame than many back rowers today. I think the way the game has evolved you get more out of having a bigger back row. I like the idea of...

    RWC: Pool C - Wallabies v Fiji - Monday 18 Sep 2am AEST

    I was one of the one's wanting a bigger body at 7 than McReight, however I thought McReight had a awesome game against Georgia and I doubt Eddie will replace him at this stage. I would also probably play him this game as defence will be key against Fiji and your going to need two of the back...

    France v Wallabies (RWC Warm-up), 28/8 1.45AM AEST

    Well the backrow were not any worse against the All Blacks in Melbourne than they were against the French on the weekend. Tom Hooper has played 4 games this year (4 zip) and Rob Valentini has played 5 games this year (5 zip). McReight I think has started three times this year for 3 zip. We will...

    France v Wallabies (RWC Warm-up), 28/8 1.45AM AEST

    We definitely need more lineout options. With Skelton Captain and in the second row blind freddie could see we were going to have line out issues. McReight is a very good rugby player but at international level the game has changed. Pilferers are not having the same impact they once had. Bigger...

    France v Wallabies (RWC Warm-up), 28/8 1.45AM AEST

    Watching the replay with mum. She thinks that Lonergan should be starting half back even though he is not in the 33. She says not only does he have a crisp pass from the ruck but he is an incredibly reliable goal kicker. Full disclosure mum is a Tah's supporter. I am not disagreeing with her.

    Love this squad. We are going to bring back Bill for sure and following the World Cup we will be referring to Eddie as Eddie the Great.

    Any chance this team could beat the AB's, with Cyclopath as ref. and coached by Eddie's Eyebrows. 1. Fat Prop (The only position this guy could play) 2. Maulalltheway 3. Ghost of Raelene (imagine this running at you ball in hand and full speed) 4. Phitzy (Saw him play a test back in 1990...

    Yes, they never give up, however, as an old Aloy's 1st XV player while we never won the comp, we won a couple of games and never got flogged by rarely more than 15 - 20 points. Honestly, if it continues I feel the Aloy's are better off in a competition with other schools that are of similar...
