NSW Waratahs 2026

[The Ghost of Raelene]

If Horton comes he comes but it if doesn't so be it in my mind.

They went and got a guy that can improve the group immediately and can start without everyone groaning at what is about to happen. If you get to the 4th Hooker and onwards I'm more supportive of reaching back into Club land like they did when Jay Fonokalifi got the call up from Gordon and did a decent job and use money to retain some of the younger guys.

Very good signing, but interesting that when the Force sign overseas players they get lambasted.

"Owners" of the Tahs now setting a precident, that it is ok to do what the Force has been doing when needed.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

There's not a side in Aus that doesn't have overseas players.

The Force more often then not have a bigger portion of their XV being foreign players than the others.

hah are you serious? Force would often put out teams with 5/15 of their starters being ineligible and still come last. If you're going to undermine Aus Rugby growth at least win some games.

No offence to Horton but that would have been a step back. We dont need back-up players we need guys who are really competing for that starting role. Too often we have a first choice and then a gap in talent.

Horton is a tad petite

Did not say there was not, just saying that the Force have had unfair comments thrown at them about this but when "The Boss" does it everyone gets defensive and throws even more stones at The Force..........

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Not defensive about it. Called it a good signing.

If there was a better Hooker in the system that's an Aussie id prefer that too but the Tahs have thrown out a kid like Barrett in seasons gone into a game before signing a 2nd/3rd grade standard Brazilian Prop...

Just a better version of the Crusaders legend (played one game and got a red card) Hugh Roach. Horton would be an upgrade on Dobbins so we are really talking about 3v4 here.
