2024 Squad - The List

[Sheikh]

We definitely need an experienced hooker. With the way Horton plays I can see him pulling up with an injury or two unfortunately. If he puts on another 4/5 kg would not be surprised to see him in a Wobblies jumper with his work rate.

He wears the wrong colour blue to get a Wallaby call-up! [/TINFOILHAT]

I dunno, I think his lineout throwing is pretty accurate, so he's failed one of the key tests for a Wallaby Hooker

Max Burey listed as Fullback

Might have thought we had enough #10's (Poolman for one)

[Leo86]

I'm interested to see how they are all used. Pasitoa back, Donaldson on the mix. Kuenzle list as fly half too. Potter our only winger who played full back in cheetah series.

Can't argue that at all.

Depending on who we are against (in other games) if the bench split differs and having Tiatia/Parata included for Pugh/Wells. Also hope to see Siasifa Amone get some time throughout the season.

Burey to start
I reserve an unfilled squad place for 14 as I hope we're lining up a decent winger

[GIGS20]

Hoopert LHP
Pearce THP/HKR

Pearce has only played LHP at Super Rugby level (not sure whether he's done THP at lower levels)

Sifa Amone is our young THP

I think Hamish Stewart is too good not to be starting for us, especially his defence in that channel, but I guess this highlights that our depth should be stronger this year

[Delsleyy]

i have been chatting with Simon Cron.

We are still in the market for another lock - Which doesnt fill me with confidence that Rodda is tracking well.

A hooker

and a winger at the moment

So they are looking but currently the market for established players isnt great specially with competing with overseas

well I think Lock is the surprise in that list, surely means Rodda or somebody else is iffy.

The rest of the list is simply good sense, I expect they have stopped looking for better options at THP than they have now (one with experience, one young with promise and a few who can make the switch from LH) Likely because the barrel is empty.
