Genia out for 6 months

Have to say I dont agree with the anti Genia comments. He is the one player we can't replace, the other halfbacks don't come close

Genia isn't playing anywhere near his form of last year. No-one in the Wallabies are playing anywhere near last years form. The short off season and the extra games are taking it's toll.
To say that anyone in the Wallabies is irreplaceable is incorrect and just silly. It leads to players getting comfortable and dropping their output. Playing for Australia is a privilege not a right and there should be no complacency. Nic White certainly could rival Genia.
What i don't particularly like about Genia is his demeanour in TV interviews. The "you stay pretty" comment to Nick McCardle all year on the rugby club and his post match interview with Kafer are unbecoming of someone who is in a position of such privilege and representation.

Injured Genia set to begin rehab:


Wallabies half-back Will Genia is not expected to return to playing duties until the early rounds of the next Super Rugby season after undergoing a full knee reconstruction on Wednesday.

Genia injured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee late in the second half of the Wallabies' 26-19 win over South Africa in last Saturday's Rugby Championship Test at Subiaco Oval.

The surgery was a success and Genia is expected to begin his rehabilitation in the coming weeks.

His place at half-back in the Wallabies' starting XV to face Argentina this Saturday at Skilled Park has been taken by Nick Phipps.

Nathan Sharpe will captain the Wallabies in Genia's absence.

Genia had assumed the captaincy following season-ending injuries suffered by James Horwill (hamstring) and David Pocock (knee).

Wll said NTT!

Seeing a lot of "spoilt brat" in Genia recently. Doesn't even look like he enjoys playing.

He needs pressure in the form of someone challenging for the 9 jersey! Trouble is, I can't see anyone for looking!
