      I'm more worried that the Australian Fijian wing pool has dried up so much you have to import ineligible Fijians now.

        @Stargazer so it's RWC or bust. That seems a strange plan, but I'm not a coaching genius or clever advertising exec.

          He's a front rower.

          But yeah, Nadolo's return to the Tahs is plain weird.

            Haha, I saw Fijian and just assumed winger ... :man_facepalming_medium_skin_tone:

            If Nadolo can replicate the form from when he was a Crusader then he'd be a good buy.

                  @Stargazer these retirement announcements for dudes i thought already retired just keep coming.

                  Not a bad little player, and had a cool career

                  got a "rule" named after him in Aus.

                  job done

                    For a kid that was a second string halfback (behind Matt Henjak) as a junior player, to then redefine his career as a 2nd 5 and also a 1st 5, I take my hat off to him. He did have a few injuries over the years, but overall his longevity has been pretty remarkable.

                            @mariner4life thats definitely how i feel when these guys trail off with their carriers, signing several 1-2 year deals, plays for a few different clubs around the world so easy to lose track of them, not the same as someone like one club Mccaw

                            also just looked it up, he's been playing at the top level since 2001 (must have only been 19)...thats a long carrier

                            on field pre season training started this week, nice big turnout for the boys, making the final last year may have raised our profile a little

                            I'll take "things i do not miss" for $500 thanks Alex

                            only managing so not only do i not need to turn up until we break into squads...when i do turn up its not exactly strenuous, the most i do is throw a lineout or feed the scrum

                                          It's a racing industry phrase.

                                          Maybe "the horse guy" has infiltrated ARU after all...

                                          It's been used in the NRL for years (even before the actual horse racing guy became boss of the comp).

                                          I just thought it was an Aussie way to hype a youngster up.
