What makes him a winger? I dunno. Maybe playing wing? Where he has played all of 2020. Which you should know if you had actually watched him like you claim.

Thanks coach
They like promoting the next shiny thing, building them up, then trashing the coaching staff if they don't score 8 tries while starting each game next season
It is the circle of rugby life

And wish him all the best in the future, he was certainly a talent with the Gordon junior side which won a few state championships and also at Kings and All schools.

I haven't read through this entire thread yet but has anyone suggested trying to get Quade down there as a mentor and 10/15 option? I really like the look of Donaldson and Harrison. Would like to see more of Harrison at 15 to develop his "scope". Also think Maddocks has a heap of potential. Tahs are just soo light on experience. Even 1 pre season and season could instill a heap of knowledge and perhaps unlock a bit of that potential which hasn't been delivered on yet.
Could go for the Force and Brumbies too really.

Im not sure Quade would be willing to go somewhere where he isn't a starter? I'm sure there's plenty of pro teams where he'd still be a walk up
Although as a Quade fan i do quite like the idea

Quade? No need to read the entire thread, it hasn't been suggested yet. It will be interesting to see if Quade has a future in coaching, natural talents like him generally don't go so well at the coaching game. But he can try that at club level first.
And no, I don't want to see him signed as a player, even if as a mentor. With Donaldson, Harrison, and Edmed, we're well stocked with 10/15 options, even if Maddocks heads to France. Save that money to spend on locks and props.

Super Rugby 2021: Darren Coleman wins race for Waratahs head coaching job (smh.com.au)
Darren Coleman is Tahs coach

It is often suggested that Coleman's Shute Shield success came on the back of being able to recruit a lot of players to boost his side but if anything, that's what the Tahs need most.
Someone who is an astute judge of working out who a team needs to recruit to become successful. Hopefully this is the dawn of a new era where the Tahs can build a good squad again mixing youth and experience and right the ship quickly.
I genuinely believe that the combination of another season of experience in some of the talented young players with a few good additions and the team could be in solid shape.
Maybe this is where they need to aim:
1. Bell
2. Porecki
3. Johnson-Holmes
4. Hanigan
5. Douglas
6. Swinton
7. Hooper
8. Warren-Vosayaco
9. Gordon
10. Harrison
11. new player
12. Foketi
13. Perese
14. Ramm
15. new player
16. Horton 17. new player 18. new player 19. Williams 20. Harris 21. Grant 22. Donaldson 23. Walton
If the tight head prop recruit in particular could push HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) to the bench that would be great for the scrum.
A lock that would force Douglas or Williams back a notch would also be a good signing.
Jack Grant getting pushed to third string would probably also be a solid improvement.

Pass it to Dunning!

I feel if Goddard or Abel were worthwhile prospects, they would have already been signed here. I doubt Goddard is a step up from Grant, and that's not saying a lot.

The current talk is that they've only offered him 2 years, while he wants 3 to take it, which seems pretty bloody reasonable all things considered. Whether or not they actually offer it will be telling.

Considering he is giving up a gig in the states and how long it’ll take to turn thing around. 3 years should be a given.

I’m happy to let Marky develop at 15 and see how Pietsch goes for 11. Breen didn’t disgrace himself as a reserve TH. But another wouldn’t hurt. Hooper and Hanigan will make a huge difference. As will a fit Walton. I’d love a Mr dependable at the back three and a bruiser TH lock to give Douglas more time to develop. Though perhaps he will come back next year wiser and bigger. He seemed to love the conflict.

Donalson is a good 15. He and Harrison alternated 10/15 for Oz 20s. Don't know if Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) has any 15 experience at 15 but doesn't really inspire me I'm that position. I see him as an out and out finisher

Alex Ross (28)
The times he played 15 for the Tahs he was better than Maddocks. His one failing is defence. But there have been plenty of 15’s who can’t stop a tackle bag. I’m hoping he improves on this front.
