Oz rugby has plenty of reasons to be optimistic.

My view is that none of these boys are there for the money. Let’s get back to basics. Pride in the jersey

If they’d made the team, then I’d be praising them too.

Only HJH has cause to be pissed. But he suffers from (wait for it) a lot of depth at TH!!!!

Ramm is too soon. The others have got hairs on them IMO.

Meakes hurt his chances tonight for sure.

No room for Ramm, HJH, Hunt, Newsome, Neville, Muirhead, F Finger, Deegan, Meakes, CFS, etc

Meakes threw maybe two decent long passing but was otherwise bad rugby AIDS on a stick.

By the way, I'm not convinced this thread says anything other than that Farva is fond of powerful and exotic pharmaceuticals.

But otherwise that’s not a bad effort for a first draft. I made some notes.

towny wrote: ↑Sat Sep 12, 2020 3:48 pm LSL and Arnold would be okay. Phillip had a blinder today. Can’t imagine Arnold doing nearly as well taking down a Thor in full flight. Hosea and Blyth went okay too.

Did either team lose a lineout today?

Did Pat run slowly in a straight line McCabe play 12?

And yes I know for one season he turned into an ok wing but I'm referring to his time in the midfield. I loved seeing him named in the Wallabies.

Who do you drop for Paisani and Stewart?
Toomua? Petaia? Kuridrani? Godwin?
Maybe stick him on the b team bench for McGregor

Name your full team, Towny? I have some nominations: Roy Prosser, Peter Horton, Rupert Rosenblum, Arthur McGill, James Black, Garrick Fay, Michael Brial, Jeff Sayle, Reg Smith ( he was a very good club second rower who had never played front row, but was thrown in at prop against the Boks - has to be the single worst selection in rugby history), Peter Carson. All before your time, I would guess.

I would say Godwin. I’m talking about the Bs with a view to him being JPs backup if he gets injured(god forbid).

Carson was better than that Qld bloke - Hauser? Edit and a 1 test wonder - Eric Tindall.

And McGill was better than 1-test (?Bruce) Cooke - he uber-sucked

Jim Roxburgh was another one, but only because he was far too small, scrummaging was very different in those days, he was only about 80 kgs! Big heart, also gets a lot of marks for not touring South Africa.

TBH, I would take Stewart ahead of Godwin as well. He’s had his chances

I just don’t agree with that. Godwin has been a regular in the super rugby team of the week since he came back.

Stewart is super level at best at the moment for me.

Dunno. Heard he did OK in a year nine science project. Not sure what else.

Seems like he’s scored less tries, less breaks and less everything. No one sane is saying that Hamish Stewart should be in the squad, but he played way better than Godwin this year.

WF fans saw that none of their journeymen made the team - they looked at their roster and saw which were the least mediocre, and screamed that they should be included.
