Interesting, after basing himself back in Wellington I'm surprised the Canes didn't look at him for his versatility. The fact he hasn't been able to crack the top Wellington side may have put them off as he does look short of a gallop.

@NTA what's RA's stance on picking from within non Aussie teams within SR ?

Or is he looking to switch countries?

[NTA]

@booboo I actually don't know whether you can pick Wallabies from Moana, but I suspect not.

Then again, we're picking Koroibete, so....

I have a hunch that Isaac Ratumaitavuki-Kneepkens might be related to Jacob.

[reprobate]

@Mr-Fish nah coincidence I reckon. You wouldn't want their family to get tied up with the Champion de Crespignys, that'd be some serious hyphenation.

Zach Fittler (son of Brad) has signed with the Waratahs on a 2 year development deal.

Apparently a gun schoolboy midfielder.

[Bovidae]

@KiwiMurph I mentioned that he is also in the Aust U18 wider squad so will likely be touring NZ in a few weeks.

[NTA]

He's a fucking weapon that kid. Hard to judge when NSW basically stomped everyone in the U16 and only lost to a bunch of other NSW boys in the U18 game against the Ponies.

As long as his Dad never coaches

[NTA]

TBF there are a lot of kids his size in Western Sydney who would fucking stomp a lot of the private school teams. It used to happen back in the day when the public schools combined team would smash fuck out of the private schools selection, despite not being great at ruck and set piece, then go play league on Sunday.

He is still inappropriately drooling over the Fox sisters
