[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 698415, member: 57076"] yeah S.A. got it right. "We produce brilliant forwards, specifically 2nd rowers first, 3rd rowers second ([I]as far as Top 14 exportation[/I]), come buy them but we get to play them when we want". Fair enough...well, sort of. Boudjellal had very just things to say about that salary-wise and absences-wise. He was basically paying for them to leave and either play or not even play for country; that is an aberration. But for the Aussies, honestly I think it's a problem. Ioane was still very good when he left (and has been a huuuuge flop at Paris btw), Giteau would've helped the Wallabies tremendously all those years; then you have your Drew Mitchell, still top form when he left and today still - Ben Mowen, not exactly useless these days although he's somewhat replaceable. JOC if he hadn't been a t*at all those years would've been a huge commodity for the Wallabies' offense, especially given his backline swiss army knife function, even to help out at flyhalf. AAC probably would still be picked for the Wallabies, he's not letting out is he, still. His experience and presence is huge for his nation. And if Folau does leave (doesn't seem possible for Toulon, btw, salary cap wise) Aussies will just have to come to this obvious, obvious conclusion the exodus is real, struggle iz reulll mayn; and it's been choking the Wallabies this whole time. Whether they, like living tissue reconstruct over wounds, produce fine replacements is one thing - but as in this analogy, there is a "wound" to heal each time. [/QUOTE]
