Yep agree, wouldn’t be that difficult

Was involved in quite a few scoring chains as that high half forward link up - a role that suits him as he is deceptively quick and has great foot skills for a big guy.


If he plays that role who are the tall forwards he looks for?
Ryder is gone.
Westhoff not getting any younger and is not really a key forward.
Watts was playing down back before getting injured.
Howard is gone.
Dixon and?

Can’t keep relying on Robbie.

I suspect we'll play two rucks so Ladhams or Lycett will be the other target, Georgiades may be a bolter, Ebert will play as a mid sized forward.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

Looks good in theory, not sure how it would look in practice.

The other thing is, like the Barbarians in rugby do, the Allies could wear their state shorts and socks.

On the back would be more logical, perhaps a map of Australia on the front.

Will tomorrow night be :

A) Fair dinkum with the best of the best having a real crack

B) Like the EJ Whitten match but with fit blokes instead of fat ones

C) Somewhere in the middle

Will you be watching :

A) Unlikely

B) It's Friday night footy, probably

C) For sure

B and A for me.

Only chance of it being a "real" game is in the last quarter if its close and blokes want to compete. If they manufacture a draw that would be the worst possible result
Having said that C & B (while looking at my phone)

There will be minimal tackling, it will be like watching corridor footy, a goal fest.
