    Yeah of course we are. But it's not just an Aussie thing, every sport loves a young prodigy. Why wouldn't we? It's just a game after all, and the potential for a young kid to be great is something we can all get behind.

    I can understand why coaches and current players are exasperated by it, but we all KNOW it's not really based in reality. It's hope, it's expectation, it's the unknown. And for a nation starved of meaningful rugby success it's something that we can grab onto. Why deprive us of that?

      i'm not sure McKellar should be using locks as an example - almost all the experienced Aussie locks are either injured or have left the country. They have to pick some young blood there.

        Wallabies test centurion Rob Simmons has confirmed he will leave the New South Wales Waratahs at the end of the Super Rugby AU competition to take a deal overseas.
        
        Simmons has been linked with a move to English Premiership club London Irish where is expected to form an all-Australian second row with Wallaby Adam Coleman.
        
        Simmons, who took over the Waratahs captaincy after Wallabies flanker Michael Hooper gave it up pre-season, said it was a "tough decision" to leave but time for a new opportunity.

              @Yeetyaah I wonder if they can find jobs for all the 10 captains?

                  Where you seeing that? Wouldn't be a good development - he's a hell of a winger.

                      Yeah I'd hate to lose him. Also remember we've got Vunivalu coming over next season too.

                      He's the reigning John Eales medalist so it would be a big big loss.

                        forgot he was coming as well. No wonder the Storm are looking around

                            There is a mob here called Cluch.tv and they stream live sport. Quality isn't great but even gumby clubs like ours can get someone at the ground for $250 with a bit of average camera work and live streaming* for those outside their respective bubbles

                            They also put together a weekly show hosted by Louise Ransome. @mariner4life 's spidey sense just went off

                                She’s extremely spider sense go offable.

                                I know some out there like all those league ones That have their own show, but I think they have the cheerleader effect going on. Ransome is top notch though.

                                          @NTA Quality c-cups?

                                          I'm not a breast man as such so I'm not greatly bothered by the fact there might be a bit of boost going on there.

                                          Female, likes sport, easy on the eye. Not a combination you find often.
