NSW Waratahs 2026

[Homer]

Tupou hasnt been playing well anyway but we are short of quality TH. Nongoor scrummaging isnt near the standard yet but hopefully two more seasons will bring Delutiis through. Still, not much competition for the spots as Alalatoa may not make 27.

In other news for next year, rumours are Josh Moorby is returning to the Canes next year. Apparently the time in France maybe have not been what he hoped. Bloody good news, 1; that someone coming back to SH and 2; The Canes can do with a winger/fullback after Naholo gone down etc. Along with Warner Dearns who a bloody good and big lock (coming from Japan), I loving this news.

Don’t worry about it, a lot of negative people on here go way over the top sometimes.
Admins do a terrific job but they can’t be on top of everything.

I do KOB, I been around this forum long enough to not take offence at lighthearted (and quite rightly aimed) jabs mate.

Tupou released from the Wallabies squad for the tahs game against the Lions (alongside Lancaster and Phillip who have been training with the wider squad)

 

[Dctarget]

They're a bit fucked I think. Funnily enough I think the Force team with their minimal Wallabies missing put out a better team than this. Lions will be more cohesive this time round too. Disappointed they didn't release Jorgensen for this, he needs the gametime. Not even sure about the injury status of a few of these boys.

1. Kailea
2. Vailanu
3. Tupou
4. Grant
5. Philip
6. Lee-Warner
7. Gamble
8. Leota
9. Wilson
10. Edmed
11. Lancaster
12. Foketi
13. Walton
14. Reilly
15. Creighton
16. Dobbins
17. Lambert
18. Botha
19. Amatosero
20. Adamson
21. Grant
22. O'Donnell
23. Saunders

Is Bowen injured? If he's fit I expect he'll play ahead of Edmed, who may actually still be training with the Wallabies, given he wasn't mentioned in the releases:

Yeah good point. Didn't even realise that Edmed hasn't been released. Silly too. Surely he's not close to the 23.

Lynagh has a finger injury so he's likely just emergency cover, but given Bowen and Creighton were preferred in season I can't see him pushing past them when he hasn't been training with the tahs.

Surprised not to see Hugh Sinclair named in that line-up for one last hoorah for the Tahs.

That’s just my hypothetical team, forgot Sinclair, he’ll definitely be in there.

 

[Tomikin]

or still injured.

 

[rugbyAU]

or still injured.

he's not injured anymore

 

[Nuggetyflyhalf]

We are guna cop a bloody hiding unless ALL Tahs supporters turn up in blue on Saturday night.
We should start TAH-BARS around the city where locals can gather and get in to the game. I’ll be at the Coogee bay with my crew in my Tahs top and Wicks jacket. Gotta take these Lions on!
