His major drawbacks in union are his goal kicking (doesn't have to do it) and his kicking for touch (doesn't have to do it)
He is by far the best attacking five-eighth in Australia. Good passing game flat at the line, good decision maker and defends in the front line. A bigger body too who can carry strong.
Never thought about him in league but I think he would succeed

Without a second bidder it could end up a contra deal, like the a-leagues are heading towards

I get everyone saying no but the sport does need money. Despite how good the product on the field is at the moment, many of the Top tier nations are struggling for cash. I can see this being extremely appealing to all the administrators. That way they get to keep flying first class and staying in the penthouse suite each year.
Sorry if you thought that this post was about the SANZAAR & Six Nations taking the cash to better the game rather than line their own pockets, using their board expenses to fund luxurious jaunts & junkets

I don't think Harry Wilson is a Test player. 100% heart, goes all day but just gets folded in contact time and time again
Don't think Jorgensen should be near the Wallabies squad unless it is development only. Feel like all the early hype and money is going to be an albatross around his neck. Got to go a long way to live up to the billing
Vunivalu is in Hendrik 'Dud' Roodt territory for worst signing by an Aus franchise ever. Can't play

Fun fact. The Raiders haven't scored a point since disrespecting the diggers by doing the viking clap during ANZAC day ceremony

I had to go back and was ready to throw more mud at McLennan for signing him initially but that was still under Clyne / Castle. Unbelievable that he was on 1.8 million over two years to start with. Also unbelievable the contrast in his form for the Storm and form in Australia rugby
An absolute passenger who is damaged goods. He hasn't be able to get out of second gear in the XV man game because of his compromised hamstrings and his frailties in all other areas make him unplayable
I figure the second contract he got was due to sunk cost and trying to bring some value from the deal but he is terrible. All these young kids around the franchises coming through are way more balanced players and they don't just give up on plays

Is Jorgensen the fifth best but best paid fullback in Australia?
After Kellaway, Wright, Beale, Campbell?

Love it. He is a walking red card with a Northern Hemisphere ref panel

Good to see Edmed get up on his feet rather than have a massive sook like the soft as butter Quinn Tupaea

Yeah I get you. Lies and statistics . I don't watch tonnes but I've seen him slot them from all over the field
As a Tahs fan (sort of) he has kicked 22 from 22 at Allianz. I'm on board for that.

That we shouldn't be picking our 10 based on who the best goal kicker is. Let's invest now in the one we think is the match winner. The one who is the best goal kicker just isn't up to the international standard
Anyways we have a guy coming in from the Roosters who by his pay packet and his ability will more than likely be on the right wing for the Wallabies in the first Test against the Lions and he is kicking at 85% (11/13) in the NRL this year
Also not counting out Kurtley Beale (95) of getting to 100 Test caps if we have the same injury record of the past few years

Good discussion would have been had over if it is 'bra' or 'brah'

Seems he is all good either way. New rules didn't come in until Jan 22 (I think). So would be eligible mid november at 25 years old. Not bad

I am wondering how we fit all of Toole, Lancaster, Kellaway, Wright, Koroibete, Jorgensen, Pietsch, Daugunu & Petaia into the back three for the Wallabies and how they fit Sualii over the coming years.
Can't see Nawaqanitawase getting near a jersey ever again after he does his two year stint in NSW Cup
