I reckon all 3 Barretts were bloody important. Jordie is just a rock in midfield, if I rewatch , I would be ineterested to count how many times he shut England down in midfield and around breakdown. Anyway loved the test, proper hard test with no confidence of doing job until 80 minutes! Do me...

Yep I agree, like the look of the ones we got coming through, even if I do agree we I prefer players stay for depth of super teams in general.

As he never made the squad Marce, obviously at home plaing club rugby or getting ready for NPC maybe.

Just read that myself WOB, oh well was a good hope anyway .:)

Definitley no surprise there. For all his promise he just seemed to hit his peak very early, and as you point out Jacomb has been developed by Chiefs and is honestly abetter 10 I believe. Not quite sure what it is with Ioane, he is a good player, shows flashes at times, but hasn't quite got that...

And meanwhile in Argentina a couple of French players have been arrested for sexual assault. Couple of young fellas that started the test last week.

Unfortunately, I think the shrink to greatness is just a online thing isn't it, I get more idea it shrink to survive?

Got a genuine question, if these 11 players say they want to go to Reds (and good on them for saying so), and if the Reds even want them, how many players do Reds have coming out of contract this year? They couldn't surely take on 11 players (a few at reasonable pay I suspect), and still stay...

I think it a couple of years away with players etc you got now Tom, but I would never say it can't be done.

Just out of interest fellas, I not looking at it from a kiwi fan's point of view as many here would be happy to see Super go. I was at super games for years in Aus, from 1997 until 2019 I can say I was at more games that the Reds played in Qld than I missed, also followed them to a few away game...

Interesting point zer0, Dave Rennie is another who had great results with Wayne Smith as assistant and not so good without. But in all honesty , from listening to players Joseph is pretty handy HC, especially for rounding out hard edges in forwards.

Isn't he problem that not enough care about the Aussie teams Rebel? Otherwise they would have the support and this thread would of died at 100 pages? We can look at alternatives etc, but the reason Aussie teams are struggling is in all honesty got all to do with lack of support in Aus, not what...

Well to be honest I can understand Grey being pissed. I can perhaps understand if there was a lot of water on field, and remember in a game many years back I played in where ref said he was blowing all breakdowns up quick as he was worried about someone drowning. Not ideal.

ll he's right, I think the knee is sore!

@waiopehu oldboy, I reckon my prediction from last year has got legs. I reckoned Dane Coles would have a run for the mighty Nua this season. Well guess who was hooker for Paraparaumu aginst Athletic at Playford Park on Saturday? Yep Colesy, they reckon he (and everyone) had a ball, both during...

TJ is out for this week. Hotham has been brought into squad for cover, so reckon Christie will start with Ratima on bench!

Have heard time and again the last few years that he has a very good voice for directing play etc, and had that feeling last night. Was almost as though the backline calmed a bit after he came on? I also thought the team looked like it had too many coaches at times and didn't really flow in...

I actually thought I heard 10 seconds WOB, and only counted down to 3 seconds, but no probs , don't risk it. I also see why they say BB brings a calming head to backline, ABs looked a lot better and less skittery when he came on.

Geez that was a bloody good test. Recorded and just watched, even Mrs Dan couldn't walk away from it. Can watch games like that anyday.

I would be getting there Derps. Wallaby supporters should be feeling a bit confident I think.
