He might be - he hasn't really excelled. I'm still mystified at how bad the Reds are at using him as a crash baller. Completely telegraphed and easily handled by the opposition. Quade may have more luck unleashing Vunivalu than James as QC (Quade Cooper) loved having Digby on his hip

Hard to see why anyone outside of Tate, Petaia and JOC (James O'Connor) in the backs should be given a look in for the Wallabies. Hunter has been injured a lot this year and was quite hot/cold when he did play.

All the best to Alex. He had some great games for the Reds. I've been impressed with Richie's work rate over the season so we should be able to cover his departure. Matty F needs to do a bit more work on discipline and battle retention. Gave away se dumb penalties against Moana last night.

Yeap. James twinged his hammy on my side, saw him immediately raise his hand to the bench. He made some covering tackles on the bench side after it so hopefully it'll be ok aftee a few days.

Crap. Poor kid that's like his second or third time in three seasons?

Anyone who watched the broadcast able to shed light on what happened to Flook? The replays at the game didn't show anything. Next thing I saw he had the green whistle but also walked off?

I can live with those three hookers. We probably need to re-assess the loose head prop situation then. Hoopert hasn't quite kicked on and Zander has had a number of brain farts over this season.

Phew. Glad to see Richie is back as we're getting low on Hookers. Fantastic to see Harry's bounced back quickly as well!

Outside of player movement, I'd be keen to hear from the coaching team what their thoughts are for the second year running we've capitulated against the Kiwi teams. More over, I'd be pressing to get an answer on why our S&C program has failed to prepare the team properly. Marsh is meant to be...

Could be a deliberate ploy, knowing Alberts fitness conditioning wouldn't be high. If you have him start and his blows at 30 minutes. Faessler can come on and finish the game and has more of a likelihood of doing so. If Faessler gets injured in that time, AA is able to replace him from memory...

I'm struggling to think in the last several years who the Reds have lost that would have an impact in the way you're wanting Dan. BPA and Bryce are really the only two that come to mind that would actively help in the situation were currently in. But both went overseas for a pay day to look...

"In form" and Hodge haven't gone together in several years...... Can't imagine if Samu got injured and we had a backrow of Gamble, Robby V and Hooper. May as well just give the opposition the ball every time it was our throw in.

Crazy stuff. Here I thought I was being humble and saying I was the idiot who couldn't read the article.

Humour this idiot, but can you please copy from the article where that's said? I've read it a couple of times and I cannot seem to find it?

I'm fine with persistenting with Vunivalu. I don't think he played badly, the way they used him was poor and so easily readable. He would have been better used coming back on the inside on the second or third phase rather than first phase in two awaiting props. That comes down to poor...

Ah wow missed that. Sigh.

Second week in a row we've looked clueless from a game plan. I can understand trying to play Territory, but you've got to have kick chasers and put pressure on the opposition. Feels like we're back in the 08/09 dark period again. Too many underdeveloped players in the starting team and nothing...

Not as horrific as Lawson's kicking. Just gives away field position right now.

I think I've been to more wet games this year than I have in the last 10 combined. Absolutely silly stuff.
