Sam exit will open door for Mitchell

[robyn <3]

during the wallabies tour, didnt you people want drew at 15?

i dont really think we need him at the tahs, i would like to see them back turner there full time, especially with matt burke there to coach him!

norton-knight had a wonderful end to last season after missing the first half with injury, will actually be sad to see him go, perhaps he may get in the japanese side for the next world cup?

Yes. I did. Because Drew might be awful, but AAC is more awful.

Gerrard will make it back to the Wallabies... Shepherd is history a club player at best...without Giteau and Mitchell with him at the Force he will look very commonplace, but his made is bed in the west a picked his allies… now he has to chip kick the impossible to pull off the unachievable... he is yesterdays man who never made an impact on the international rugby scene…

I will bite Muddie - just this once.

I am trying to figure out if you don't rate Sheps as a player or is it just yet another TWF fishing expedition.

I know I am asking much of you - actually asking a question. But give it a go - just for me.

Shep was on his last legs before he broke his leg against France... Other possible fullbacks were injured... he didn't impress Robbie Deans... Shep has nothing to offer the Wallabies but perhaps goal kicking and the wallabies don't need him for that...

His stats last game were rubbish and he is now hiding behind false injury to get away with it... I hope he plays this weekend…he’s soft and wants to be a media presenter and not a rugby player…

exile he is just fishing. Gerard is fat and slow, nothing more then a loose forward who can kick, hell I could probably catch him in a foot race

Give your missus a kiss for me muddy

Drew can always go and carry his best mates bags (giteau) at the brumbies, got to compete with AAC - Rathbone - Gerrard - Mortlock - Young Island boys (name forgotten) tough backline, as well is the tahs.. funny how reds shown no interest.

Never knew that Giteau was the bread and butter for the Force, how many "wood work" players have come out and said " I've only come to the force to play with Giteau".... if that was the case, what wallabies jersey hasn't been enough for you (i.e. Mitchell / Cross / JOC ) think its more down to John Mitchell being the coach than Giteau playing at 10 or 12. Just my view.

If Mitchell goes, target Paul Sackey or Douggie Howlett (who wants to return south)

If Cross goes, We have Junior / JOC / Josh Tatupu / Didn't Digby want to return / Target Billy the Kid or Karmichael Hunt.

Valentine looks like he'll go with his cuddling mates - no big loss from watching the game against the cheetahs, COY and maybe bring back adam clarke

Giteau has gone, target another marque player, we have the coin now to play with

Please keep Bam - John Mitchell - and other committed players.

I thought Cross had signed until 2011

It seems the the ARU are happy to see good players like sam head overseas,its a shame because I thought he was a larkam type 1st 5/8.These players are not only lost to aus s14 teams but are also lost to the wallabies.
So now we have to chase overseas players who are not eligible for the wallabies.

sam is a good super 14 player, but he was never going to be an international player. in todays climate, unfortunately the only thing keeping the next level of players here is the chance to be a wallaby. after thats gone money in europe and japan has to be worth more.
