IMO Wright and Petaia last night brought hope back for the Wallabies, guys imposing themselves on the game showing they're better than the rest. You need those kinda players at test level.

Too light, needs 10+ kgs of muscle.

Oh, stop it.

How’s Gleeson been this year?
Mediocre; although he went alright on Friday imo.

He's not good enough for the Wallabies. Can't get into the game when the team is on the back foot.

Lynagh was good but Lolesio steadied the ship, controlled the game then won it. Nailed on starter for Wallabies.

CrazyIslander

In a shit team, Joost is the best option as he could be the focus of the attack itself. If it's an above average team, then Smith is best as his passing gives everyone that extra second or two to beat defenders. FDP is somewhere between the two. Gregan and Faf combative, Gregan best tackler. Dawson,...

CrazyIslander

LRZ's strength is he's quick of the mark and a strong step. He'll be able to get separation. It's just a matter of catching the ball. His height is also an advantage.

CrazyIslander

15 Wright
14 Petaia
13 Flook
12. Perese
11 Marky
10 Lolesio
9. White

CrazyIslander', a calls I've watched the games he isn't exceptional. He's probably the most reliable, consistent player in Wallabies backline and you think Wright is better? Wright that has a history of making dumb mistakes? I'm a fan of his but he's not a very reliable player. Kelleway is not abov...

Are you serious? He’s playing exceptionally in a shit team.

Well done Lonergan

Vunivalu revelation for Wallabies last year, now bench for Reds.

CrazyIslander

Lynagh has played out of his skin today but I think Lolesio has consolidated his position as the best 10.

Nah, I'd pick Kellaway before anyone else there. Wright maybe on one of the wings.

Kelleway hasn't shown he's better than the rest.

His problem is he thinks his gravity powers makes him Superman.

Looks like Lynagh wants the Wallabies 10 jersey

Petaia Wallabies 14 nailed on

If you watch Flook closely his involvements are usually positive, rarely makes a mistake

CrazyIslander

Very nice

Is Toole the fastest ever?

The main beef I have with the Tahs has more to do with those on the fringes, although some players deserve a pasting. 1. The management that have pampered these guys for years. 2. The Sydney media that year in, year out bore us in January with the 10 reasons why this years Waratahs are different to...

Yep. How good are they. :lol: What's so funny about it? They've been shit for a long time. In fact they've only been good in about 5 of the last 28 years. If you have one fault, CI - and sadly, you have - it's your overwhelming generosity of spirit. Five games in 28 years would have been closer to ...

Its possible to be MVP and only be second best Welsh. One is about being the best poster. The other is the most incestious!

He is doing well and good luck to him but he still has a long way to go

I meant he's on the Chiefs social media feeds. That's a start. Next stop, Taylor!

Mate…. 2. Sa’a Fainga’a was a scrumming liability. Tom Horton has him covered. I don’t think he’d make the bench of many SR teams. 4. Simmons would be behind 10+ current locks. 6.
