It would'nt surprise me if Kellaway plays at fullback when CG is at 10. Looking at some of the video replays of the past https://www.rugby.com.au/news/carter-gordon-signs-with-reds-wallabies-on-three-year-deal-rugby-world-cup-gold-coast-titans-nrl-20251010

Union is to League like chess is to draughts . Or in the northern hemisphere, to football (soccer). The bogans prefer league (football) because they have trouble understanding rugby union. Although some of the interpretations by referees even the commentators find difficult for the latter.

For the AB players, to be the first team to lose to the Wallabies since 1986 at Eden Park, puts insane pressure on their shoulders ( & in their heads) to win. o_O What a mine field in which for them to make numerous errors - particularly bad decision making, & this on top of the thrashing in...

Watching the game I had the feeling that the Reds hearts were never in it - like one too many training runs. Maybe they thought it was just going to be all too easy. They needed that result - it was a reality check!

Jake Gordon is going to be a bit rusty, so I'd give him 20 -30 minutes in the second half. Then maybe change them around for the second game.

But how do we know if this is le bones of Monsiour Hotham, eh?

@Red Runner. Yoda's probably on the starship Enterprise, searching the universe for toxic mushrooms to cook a nice Beef Wellington for Tom L o_O

Nah - they'll be too busy grabbing a refreshing beer.... or 3.

BOM weather forecast for Townsville on Saturday is: "Saturday 6 September SummaryMin 19Max 29Partly cloudy.Chance of any rain: 10% Partly cloudy. Light winds becoming east to southeasterly 20 to 30 km/h in the morning then becoming light in the late evening." Also I noticed another post...

If I remember correctly, did'nt a number of the Wallabies come down with a bug before the second test against the Argies, and that weather conditions were very hot on the day?

So, will Gordon get a leave pass from the age care home? I predict Teddy Wilson will be in the squad by 2027. Seems to be a natural halfback.

Who can say what is old for any individual player.. look at JOC (James O'Connor) last weekend. But when you have a large group of your players at over 30, with a number at 34 +, then you are stretching the limits.
