My bet that Wests may look like this:- 15. J Petaia 14. S Vunivalu 13. I Droasese 12. G Vaihu 11. I Vudogo 10. C Gordon 9. M Sorovi 8. R Skelton 7. J Kemeny 6. R Leota 5. T Hosea 4. R Haylett-Petty 3. S Latu Talakai 2. J Uelese 1. P Fa’amausili

This post may be have been done tongue in cheek. But I do not think Bond will be laughing this weekend.

Not a bad backline for Wests

I just saw McReight named in the Brothers team for Saturday.

Uni were on the ropes only two seasons ago, scraped into finals and won.

Same here but has improved. And credit where it is due the Uni front row have done very well to date v Brothers

I feel this will be a repeat of the day at Uni last year when the East’s scrum demolished the Uni forwards. It may be a bloodbath, figuratively speaking.

Agreed. Unlike Asiata the week before, Thorn left Nasser on the bench for whole game. No way is Nasser going to learn a technical position like that gathering splinters.

And if Matt Faessler is in a Super Rugby COVID bubble and Dobbins has gone to Wests then Brothers also have a big hole in the Hooker role this season.

There are a few in the squad that need significant game time in QPR to develop. Why I am interested to hear if there is a quarantine bubble this year that will preclude this.

Just looking at the Reds Squad. Will there be a quarantine “bubble” like last year that will preclude the secondary squad members from playing Club rugby this year during the Super rounds?

The third hooker was Sean Farrell. However, for reasons unknown the Reds coaching group did everything in their power not to select Farrell across the season including changing Nasser from a prop to hooker.

That result in the set pieces had to be expected when the Uni hooker was playing only his third full game in his entire career in that position. I think it was predicted before the GF in the 2020 thread that Nasser would struggle big time after only converting to the position less than a few...

3. Tupou 2. Phillip 1. Hodge

And van der Schyff running on for Uni Colts 1 after playing in only one game for them this year.

I saw just about every Colts team for at least a half a game this year and saw many of the Colts eligible players playing Hospital Cup. Because of obvious reasons I think it was a difficult year to really rate many players as you could in previous years. Especially with inability to watch...

There are ways of getting around these rules through exemptions. I refer to previous years when these exact rules were in place. Don’t ask me how.

Agree with all of the above. And to add to the intrigue, when the Uni team for today was originally published on the Rugby AU site Mellor was the hooker.

And if Brothers did not make cut in first grade, Nathan Carroll (edit and Hudson Creighton) could play Colts. Is Ralston making an appearance? And what has happened to Jangala Bennett?

Yep, an amazing back line but isn’t Carter injured and out for season? Surprised you didn’t drop Petaia in there as well. If he was not in NZ he would also be young enough (eligibility??) to play Colts
