Wallabies RWC training squad

I heard on the Rugby wrap that Issak F-L is currently in the training camp

Spotted at Wallaby camp in this Instagram post yesterday

Bloody mungo. Still smarting from Wednesday. (as am I )

On the bright side. Good to see Finesy there. His passing game is already pretty good but any pointers from that mungo will be a plus. Some short kicking game tips would be nice too.

Somehow I don't think you are quite as big a sook as Joey, Shasta...
I've always known him to spit the chewy post SOO loses in the name of "pride in the jersey", but his behaviour on screen post Origin 1 was a new low for mine.

No argument here. It's pretty cringe-worthy for Blues supporters TBH. Almost as much so as his dummy-spit with his brother for having the temerity to praise the Qld's coaching. He just invites more of the same baiting and seems oblivious to that.

His ability to coach and improve ball players and teach how to quickly do the numbers and unpick a defense is without question, though.. His older bro isn't far behind. So it's good to see Fines soaking it up.

[WFDom]

He had a big spit after game 3 last year as well.

Needs to grow the hell up.

Send Jamie Goddard round! 🤣

For people who don't like Mungoball you sure do have some string opinions on it.

Don't like is, in itself, a strong opinion.Also, you can dislike something based upon a knowledge of that thing. That's probably the fairest way to dislike stuff.

In continuing a theme, can I now say that I don't like some of those decisions.

Hooper doesn't deserve to be in the squad based upon form, let alone be named captain.

Vunivalu is an expensive waste of time.

[bootsetal06]

Why is Swinton even considered.

[Ham105]

Bloody mungo. Still smarting from Wednesday. (as am I )

On the bright side. Good to see Finesy there. His passing game is already pretty good but any pointers from that mungo will be a plus. Some short kicking game tips would be nice too.

Yep, keen to see what IFL can do over the next few months ... and leading into next year.

[Garry Owen]

Yeah a few questionable selections there. Hard to argue with anyone from the force missing, except maybe Jeremy Williams. If he was playing over East he probably would get picked before Charlie Cale (who?), Swinton or Swain.

Just proves its a big call for some of these guys like Nick White and Donaldson to come over here because they quickly fall off the radar for Wallabies selection.

That has certainly been the case (K Bomb, Nick Cumminis, and FL-W are some of the examples that come to mind). But I'm hoping that is just a sign of the new payments system starting to bite and/or they were maybe given a tap on the shoulder. We'll just have to suck it and see. The influence of a certain benefactor/prospective financial stake holder may be in the mix somewhere. One or two retired Force Wallabies joining the board would also be nice.
