Wallis, def not given a new deal confirmed by Horan in the telecast today. Hope he finds a club even if japan pro d2 or a short term deal in the premiership as cover over the nov. test & 6N, He's too good to not be a professional somewhere.

Isaac AK (Andrew Kellaway) (Andrew Kellaway) most definitely - you just need to get him playing at prop!

I’m not sold in Jooste at all.
What's the go with him playing lock? Is that because UQ have a weakness there or his form at lock demands it? Can't say I've watched any UQ games. Is he too tall for prop?

he's a former Number 8 so still adjusting to changes at lock. He's probably their best tight five player so needs to be in the team, but they also have two Reds props. Plus they don't seem to have fit traditional locks. They either play props there or backrowers

Wilkin play 8?
Hoping Ioane has been on a strict off season losing some kgs and getting his fitness up.

Bit surprised to see Ioane is 25, same age as Leota. He's been kicking around longer than I thought. I imagined he was relatively new to professional rugby and would have a big increase in ability after some time. Maybe not.
