Wallabies train on squad

[Scott]

Nah.. the irishman may be a cry baby.. but is still a better rounded player...

I've got no time whatsoever for that goose anymore! As a player or a person!

Mortlock is the best center in the World.

Give yourself an uppercut mate...Mortlock couldnt even lace up Brian O'Driscoll's boots...

Rogers at 13? No way in hell! SA and NZ will have a field day running at Rogers. Mortlock is the best center in the World.
What happened to Huxley? He should have been in the squad as he can cover fullback, 5/8 and 12 very well.

Huxley? You watched any of QLD'S games? He has been AWFUL! Mortlock is one of the best centres in the world but O'Driscoll is by far and away no1. Easily. As long as Bill Young and Baxter are nowhere near a Wallaby jersey ever again I'll be a very happy man!

Drew Mitchell
Peter Hewat
Berrick Barnes
They deserve spots ahead of Ben Tune, San Norton-Knight and Luke Holmes or Luke Burgess. Barnes would do better at scrumhalf than the last two. Hewat is better than Norton-Knight. Drew Mitchell can play fullback, wing and centre, well better than Tune really, Tune is old and injury prone

Gotta agree on this one O'Driscoll has been the best centre around for the last 3-4 years some of the stuff I have seen him do is freakish, Ireland are a whole different team with him playing, look how well they played in this year's 6N.

Mitchell is unlucky but tehre are a LOT of outside backs. Hewat- no thanks. His defence in recent times has been dreadful. Has to learn to defend better. Barnes yes I agree but is more than likely out due to the fact he needs surgery!

Squad
Scott Staniforth, Gene Fairbanks, Ben Tune, Sam Norton-Knight, Lachlan MacKay, Luke Burgess.

And I thought that we struggled last year, dead-set the worst players to
ever make the Wallabies squad.

I watched my fair share and he went just fine. Deserved a spot over 40 minute MacKay.

i agree. tune is getting pretty old, he wont be an option for next year's cup, maybe he's there because he's a queenslander! sam norton kinght was pretty good this season, and is a pretty flexible player that gives you some tactical options, so i'm happy seeing him there.

i'm disappointed for drew mitchell and hewat, both have been good this season, and in hewat we have one of the top scorers this super 14 season not getting a sniff of a wallabies jumper.

i'm pretty happy with the lineup, but i would have liked to see more younger players get a look in this season, to lay the groundwork for the world cup.

Whoever is saying Sam Norton-Knight doesn't deserve a spot-behind Berrick Barnes no less-pull the other one why don't you? If NK doesn't get a gold gurnsey this year then there's something seriously fishy going on.

You have not watched enough of them! Huxley stuffs up more times than he does ANY good things!

I think Valentine or Henjak deserved to be in the squad...I am a big fan of Valentine and he played very well at the back end of S14.It looks as though he has signed with the Waratahs and I think he will be at least our number 2 HB by the WC. I know ill get abused for sugesting Henjak but seriously...We are building for a World Cup and he is a halfback with alot of potential...He should be at least placed ahead of Burgess and Holmes(who I have a wrap on)
