I like how the Reds post the schools and junior clubs where players were developed.

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
Regardless, Toole is significantly bigger than Kolbe, so I’m keen to learn from those stating definitively that Toole if Kolbe is too also small to make it as a professional player. And how would Kolbe go as a Wallaby winger? Assuming he was given the opportunity, he'd rip it up.

Re: Wallabies 2024 (2023 never happened)
I suspect FairWeather is speaking comparatively and not absolutely. Williams' peer group of outside back opponents would, AFAIK, be smaller than Toole's. Not really. South Africa have massive forwards, massive centres and smaller wings, but generally I’d say that Lomu brought in the age that the en...

Re: Why have Newcastle been so poor this season?
They don't really sell though. They just shed players at the end of contract or even mid contract recently. There's no windfall from it as there's not a transfer market to speak of in pro rugby.

On other young players to get excited about, how about that Mason Gordon?
Rebels were awful in the first half, but not bad in the second and he's a big reason why IMO.
