yes. Jamie Roberts off the bench is going to get those turnstiles spinning.

But he was 35 when he scored that ripper of a try in 2011

Nah, not at all. I need a creative centre outside me as all I've got left is a pass. Doesn't go far but it's all yours.

Horton and Porecki are the only ones listed but the photos/videos of training also shows Mahe Vailanu

Not a Israel Folau moment when joined tahs but will add some appeal for rugby tragics (read increase in crowd attendance by 10% from 3000 to 3300
10% increase in attendance not to be laughed at!!!
fine print; ignore the fact tahs crowds at level of ‘WGAFF’

Yeh we got that which bonus for tahs. I don’t know why people think former test players in their early to mid 30s are desperate to join super rugby sides vs superior superannuation options available in Japan and Europe. Oz rugby fans should be grateful for Roberta having a sydney of orgin partner.
ps I am just reiterating the reality of Europe and Japanese (and to lesser extent USA major league rugby) has on competing for talent. It is increasingly bloody tough market to compete for talent hence need for more creative options. Force faced that and recruited more in bulk aged warriors which served them well. Not saying need to recruit as many for tahs but 1 or 2 surely can’t hurt if can find older experienced right talent available. Yeh they might not be their test level strength of past but if they are half as good that is probably still 50% better then some rookie plus with on field experience they bring (anybody listen to Kearney’s on field chat when miked up for force…!!!) plus off field experience in training and team sessions. Time to now close this subject as said enough here.

WIth you, with you. I'm sure my "bounce and flop" skills, which are simply automated in the tackle, mean that I could still double at 6 and 7. Well back at the club house anyway. But you know, my "Almost pass" leaves me looking for a centre. Let's team up. Strength in numbers.

As a visitor to many of the above fine establishments, a warning post is in order.... Due to the high ABV of many of the delicious brews, there is a fair likelihood you won't make it the the Tahs games...

and if you manage to make it, you’re going to be a real useless piece of crap the next day. Or maybe that’s just me.View attachment 12926

That's good news. I read somewhere that he might be out for the season?
I thought so too. Thus the Jamie Roberts signing. I guess it's important not to rush his return considering he's been out for so long.
I'd guess it's very much just straight line running at this point.
Would be interesting to know what surgery option he had?
Would be really surprising if he's back before the back end of the Super Rugby season. You'd hope they're really conservative with it because regardless of how good his recovery is and how keen he is to play, if he reinjures it, it would be a hammer blow to his confidence.

Saw the video of Joey Walton having his first run out for Tahs which is great news. Understand he is still out for season but great to see the progress. News that Mosese Tuipulotu is out for start of season but does anyone have any insight on recovery timelines? Am keen to see how he gets on.
theres a match thread. All comments there.
