I would be definitely sticking with Donaldson at #15, he is a good fit there and will serve his Wallaby aspirations well. I can't see him being the Wallaby #10 now, so may as well embrace it.
That said, I'd be seeing Potter on one wing (I think most of his internet highlights are in #11 jersey) and just may (left field I know given his form) see Spink moved out one as a hard running option.
Unless we secure a genuine speedster then I think we are looking at (no particular order)-
a. Tiatia
b. Poolman
c. Spink
d. O’Donnell or
e. Leahy

Surely they must have someone up their sleeves? If not it makes no sense them letting Pulu and Mataele go.
Great game, Fucken battled right through to the 80!
I think wing might be a good option for Chase, he's elusive and not scared to have a crack (maybe TOO not scared if this year is any evidence)
Donno does look like a pretty good option at 15 and would be a good, reliable steadying influence which would allow both wings to play pretty fast and loose (which is Chase's strength) he has a big boot and can kick for post well so that would solve several problems.
It would cut down on outright blistering pace on whichever wing Chase is occupying though, granted.

You'd have to think there would be a few signings there holding out for.
As backline depth specially in the wider areas seem to be quite thin.
Id say we might see a few signings after the world cup or after the ITM cup.
Which could be exciting.
Ive said it previously but picking up Jordan Pereira who is without a club at the moment.
Would be a handy pickup, theres talks over going over to the Super League, but surely the Force would be more of a attractive offer.
Having a dig around International Comp Squads, appears the following (Australian linked unless stated) Outside Backs/Wings are without contract atm-
Henry Speight
Joe Tomane
S'Busiso Nkosi (ex Bulls/Springbok)
Dave Kearney (ex Leinster/Ireland)
Leigh Halfpenny (ex Scarlets/Wales)
Yes, all late career players, but the Force has done ok getting a year or two out of such players.
And, with a perceived on field inexperience problem in the team, all would certainly contribute greatly on that front.

I had a chat with Simon cron over LinkedIn
And he mentioned he was going to get some recent footage of chance peni
As he really liked him when he was over on Japan
He said he's really looking for Australian wingers and backs at the moment
Rugby Australia officials on Wednesday sent an offer to Crichton’s management which detailed a package deal between the governing body and Super Rugby franchise the Western Force. The deal is for 2024 and 2025.

Much as I admire Angus as a player, I still don't go along with signing these blokes. Junior Mungos who played first XV for a couple of years among 20-odd seasons of RL is a mighty risk. Especially blokes who are looking at Rugby because they're likely being told to take a haircut to stay at the Chooks.
Having said that, if he does come, I hope he's an equally good Rugby player (likely @ 13) and becomes an SoB favourite.
I see Hamish is doing everything in his limited power to distract everyone from his part in the World Cup debacle and the impending insolvency of Rugby Australia.
What's the bet he retires gracefully 45 seconds before the bill for these contracts become due?
