208cm and 127kg....fuck he's a big rig. Never seen him play but from that size he seems too large to be mobile enough for a backrow position. Anyway I can't see him getting a contract anyway. Is he even any good? I've never seen him play.

I thought he was a second rower?

Doubt he would be. He hasn't ever been on the Reds radar, it wouldn't make sense for him to be given a full contract over Enever and Murday.

I'd be taking Lachie Turner above all those names any day (aside from Chris F'Sautia). There is a big step up to Super Rugby, and it takes time for players to adapt. With JJ Taulagi and Aiden Toua still raw at Super Rugby level, I wouldn't want another in-experienced player being their back-up...

So who are we looking at for the last spot in the 30? By the looks of it we need either a backrower or outside back/centre. Anyone got an insight on who we could be looking at?

Did you not see him get destroyed when he came on two weeks ago? Potential yes, should we stick with him, yes, but he is no way ready to start. Plus Slipper has been one of our best so far, although of a bad bunch.

With Richard Graham being an Easts boy it wouldn't be a wild thought!

Defiantly a good signing for us. You'd expect him to line up on the right wing, with Chris F'Sautia on the other and Toua/Lucas/Taulagi at fullback for the start of the season.

Jake Shatz got the Pilecki Medal, bit of a surprise over Gilly and Slipper, but deserved nevertheless, under rated player. Curtis Browning got rookie, Jarrad Butler got Spirirt of Reds, Liam Gill got people's player of the year. Surprised Ben Daley re-signed. He will be stuck for opportunities...

Get on the defensive mate, sheesh. Samu Kerevi has been the stand out by a long way this season, and I think most of us will agree that he deserved it. And I genuinely meant no offence, he's a quality player, but I don't think anyone would place him above Kerevi (or Brandon and Greene for that...

Bret Gillespie? Really? No offence to Bret, he's a top player, but that is a fucking joke.

Shit I didn't realise he was still 26, sign him up, it's the type of depth we need in the back three.

Was good to see so many Super Rugby players at Ballymore on Sunday cheering on their club teams. Ed Quirk ran the water for Easts, Bryce Hegarty the same for GPS. Saw Ian Prior and Jono Lance watching University and Anthony Fainga'a watching GPS. One thing I like about the Reds, most of them...

I'm actually not as worried about our outside backs situation was I was about 2 months ago. Having seen Taulagi, Kuridrani and Kerevi play, and Aiden Toua tear up in the Premier comp, I think we do have some good options back there. It's just that it will take them a while to adapt. Curtis...

Mate, c'mon.

Yeah fair call about the second rowers having a big influence. Blake Enever was great all round I thought, and he is pretty renowned for being strong in the scrums. And Jarrad was his usual strong self. Bit quiet in the first half though. They used him a lot more in the line-outs, which was...

Honey Badger?

For those who were out at Ballymore yesterday, I think the three new Reds signings showed why they got their spots. Kerevi & Kuridrani were strong for GPS, but it was JJ Taulagi who was brilliant for University. With Morahan & Lance gone, I think we have the talent in Taulagi and Aiden Toua...

I thought both games were very high quality although they both took a while to get going, as is the case for most finals games. In the Uni vs Brothers match, it looked like Uni was going to give Brothers another hiding, but credit to the Filth they really came back and gave it a fair dig in...

UP THE TIGERS!! You beauty! Great game, will post my thoughts tomorrow, but all I need to say is: Michael Gunn, freak.
