He was in the league system as 15 year old and went to Westfield high which is league nursery. Happy to always have league players see the light though...

Expected back next week hopefully
Francis was probably the best prop in QPR last season and many were surprised when he didn’t land a Reds squad spot. Glad he’s got a gig.

Sums up Tahs recruitment entirely, really
It is a bit old school, but loads of kids used to play both versions each week with the best playing rep stuff. eg my school in the west was league, my weekend Saturday team was rugby and I played a season of RL on Sundays
He left when we had Hanigan, dempsey, hooper as first choice, he was a bench option moving for more game time

I don't think Wells is any better than Dempsey, I'm glad Wells has a starting gig but among plenty of ordinary recruitment decisions I don't think that was one.
In fact, with Swinton, Tizzano, Dempsey, Sinclair, Harris, Gamble and Hooper to return, I would suggest the back row is about the only area where we are at Super rugby standard!

I am somewhat dubious as to Dempsey's value, he just doesn't do enough 6 & 8 stuff.
He had a decent test where he made wonderful front foot ball, but as a day to day backrower he doesn't provide dominant tackles, win lineouts, win regular turnovers or create dominant cleanouts, so without his serious running metres, beating defenders and creating front foot ball - what is he for?

All I meant by it was that he isn't a recent league convert trying his hand at rugby with it being a case of wait and see how he adapts.
Francis gave plenty of QPR props nightmares, good to see him getting noticed.
I'm also off Dempsey. Had a great game in the Test in Brisbane a few years ago and I was excited. I just find him ineffective now. One of those guys that looks busy but doesn't achieve much.

A head to head matchup of the 23’s and only Tizzano and maybe Dempsey would be in a combined side. This is beyond a foregone conclusion.

i'd take Maddocks over Anderson if it's the Maddocks when he was here. Current form, tight call. Think he needs more ball cause his been starved rather then playing poor.
