We’ve got Nsemba & Walter’s in the back row, why do we need to go for another Aussie player?
It will be very difficult to replace Isa in the context of his experience, versatility and assumed low salary.

The challenge will be how to replace the experience of Isa and Cooper.

We already have Farrell and Thompson, so plenty of experience, plus more game time this year for Nsemba and Walters should be good enough.

Richardson is supposed to be over here on the hunt for new talent, the rumour is he's actually trying to offload some of the Wests cap.
Yates to Wire will Bateman follow?

Hmm, Hull or Leeds would be likely? I thought Batty was in Aus for personal reasons so maybe he stays there.

Already a thread in the General forum, moved & merged
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan
