Jorgo
I’d have:
- Hanigan and Holloway in the row with Swinton at 6.
- Harry Wilson at 9, but he’ll probably come off the bench for a while
It’s a very good squad but still lacking depth in the tight 5.

George Gregan (70)
Besides Bell our tight five is weak. Certainly not strong enough to make a semi.

Could we see Walton at fullback? Or am I overanalysing a training jersey in a pre-season video?
Wilson
Michael Lynagh (62)
Are you sure that's even Walton? Looks as much like Jorgensen as it does Walton to me.

That new bloke from France could help here

I really hope not, Walton has been a really great backup option at center and could very much be in contention for the 12 jersey if Foketi drops off.
Derpus
George Gregan (70)
I agree he could help, but even if he does I think it unlikely this pack will be able to produce the kind of consistent and cohesive tight five play that sees at team compete in and win titles.

Hahahahaha mate that is a fair call for sure.
You can't use some guy who literally joined the forum yesterday as speaking for the Waratahs and Waratahs fans.

Fair point.

Yeah the back of their heads have striking similarities, had to double check.
I believe Jorg is due back from injury round 2 or later according to Coleman. Interesting replacement if so
Wilson
Michael Lynagh (62)
Fair enough. Last I heard was Jorgo should be good for round 1 and might trial but they won't rush him, though now that I think about it that could've been about Harrison.
Makes sense to be looking for 15 coverage outside the starters with Donaldson gone. If Walton takes to it he makes for a very useful bench player, Harrison/Edmed/Bowen get to focus on playing 10, and Coleman gets time to settle the pecking order.

It was a joke, that trophy won’t be awarded until the Tahs win their first pre-season trial
