Exodus 2017

We might be a little bit thin at first five next year when Cruden is gone - depending on how much time Sopoaga gets this season and how he goes.
I'd expect to see Richie Mo'unga get called up as the third first five, but even at the end of this year he won't be that experienced. DMac is doubtless on the radar, but right now probably hasn't started five first class matches as a first five and Jordie has probably yet to start one.
Hopefully Beaudy stays fit and Shag can run an orderly development plan!

I'd rate Banks fifth as a first five - behind Mo'unga, but ahead of Francis, West, Black and DMac.
Have you seen Banks this year? I'd have agreed with you a few years back - but he's been off the pace this year. And he's got silly hair.

I don't get the love for Banks. More importantly, as Nepia stated, he has silly hair. Must be some Jew in that boy.

Hey! There's some Jew in this boy! Grrr.

Don't be offended. His hair is Hebrew lookin. Just saying.

I'm not offended but I am surprised there is Hebrew hair. Checks mirror. Yep, luckily I avoided the Hebrew hair gene.

@Siam ... or Jordie.
I would very much like to see him there. He has an outstanding pass and obviously can kick. Broken record: I don't think 15 is his best position.
-
@Rancid-Schnitzel What, the love of being the fifth best first five?
-
Why suddenly so worried about first-five eights? Only one AB 10/22 (Cruden) is leaving. Adding one to the AB squad, most likely Mo'unga (if he continues playing well), will be enough. And then just keeping an eye on the rest of the queue like they have always done. Nobody, except Ta$man and Sumo Stevenson, will miss Banks.

Who's panicking? "We might be a little bit thin..."
