I don’t really care about comparing guys from different sides though. McReight is the best right now. He hasn’t had game breaking moments in test footy like Hooper did (yet).



is he a lay down though? I mean guys that it’s not even questioned. At Wing we do have multiple options. Len ain’t up for debate.

I do think Potter should be on a Wing personally. Jorgo on the bench for some magic when the game gets a bit tired. No last 10 mins stuff get him on with 25 mins to go.

so you're saying potter is a lock-in?

I find Frost enigmatic. In most respects his physicality is one of the attributes that makes him such a good player. But there are times he just missed tackles he should make. Don’t really get it because the whole Brumbies system is based around players doing their core jobs well.

On a similiar note I don’t really understand why Swain & Smith didn’t get more of a crack last year. I know people have a crack at Swain discipline but he seems to have really improved that area.

I’ve said before that I think lock is the hardest position to judge from the cheap seats so I’m sure there is sound reasoning. It’s just not obvious to me.

I agree, Im a massive Brumbies fan, and Frost has everything to be a top 5 lock in the world.. but his just a little soft, he doesn't go through contact well he doesn't really put a big hit on.. his athletic as fuck, so his lineout and running and lot of his game is top class.. but there's a toughness he lacks..

I also agree Swain has been the better player for the last 2 years, he kept Frost on the bench, and then at the Force he has been better then Williams.. I'll think that Joe has something against him if not picked this year

I love watching Toole in flight but have huge concerns about his Defence which has been massively found out at times. Sure, he's behind other more likely to start v the Lions but I still struggle to get it. His tackle success rate is fairly low and he is often positionally found out.

I noticed that Toole's tackle % is below most of the other wing options, aside from Kellaway...

But Toole has attempted more than 2-3 times the amount of tackles of most of them, and affected more turnovers.
