Yeap - I'm somewhat glad this game is happening down in Canberra rather than Suncorp. You want to ensure you're winning all your home games and considering the injury list now, the silver lining is, we not expected to win in Canberra. From memory, Wright is the only person that we may expect...

Wanting Henry at 12 is a bit like counting your chickens before they hatch no? Him and Vunivalu would be neck and neck for most time on the Reds injury list over the past two seasons?

Go back to my post and tell me where I'm wrong.

I'm still no closer to understanding where Flook should play! The speed he showed to chase down and successfully tackle that Drua player was absolutely unreal. I had no idea he was that quick and thought we may have struggled with him on the wing. I feel a lot more at ease with Flook on that...

Honestly, given the fortnight some of these blokes have gone through, they flew back from Perth, the number of blokes out, the number of blokes who have been called into the squad and never played with each other, I can live with the butt clenching win. Sure as hell beats the narrow loses of...

Did Sam pull a hammy or something at the Charity game or something?

https://www.theroar.com.au/rugby-union/ You can skip anything not related to the Reds if you want, but I find most of Brett's, Geoff and Nick's articles across the Australian teams to be interesting.

Unless Chieka has changed his game plan, his teams are pretty easy to beat; Pin them in their own 22 and wait for the team to make a mistake while they try and run it, get a turn over, kick a penalty or go for a try. Rinse repeat, next thing you know, you're down by 24 points with 50 minutes...

Does cohesion only work at an international level? The video compares the 2019 Springboks vs the Wallabies and only focuses on, the % of players who've played together for more than 2 years at the Sprinbgok. But, the video also talks about the Wallabies having spread their talent across...

I still think you're getting confused with players who can play in a position being available and a "glut of talent". You've mentioned twice the Reds centres. How many centres do you think we have? Stewart is our 12/10 back up Hunter is our 12/13. Henry has been out for most of 21/22 so far...

Samu only gets a look in for the Wallabies because of McKellar yeah? Harris and Wilson have been outplaying him over the first three rounds.

Shiggins, I'd give you some credit for chasing the whole time wasting thing if the game ended close, but it was 4 tries to 1. Id be crankier at my back lines woeful communication especially from a seasoned back in Godwin. With all the breaks you're complaining about, Godwin surely couldn't...

That's unreal - fantastic job. Turns out the artist is a Year 11 Student (was in year 10 when her design as picked) from up North - https://cqtoday.com.au/news/2021/11/28/taleishas-award-winning-design/

Personally, non of the three amigos in the ACT are deserving of the Wallabies spot. FF (Folau Fainga'a) is hit and miss and you're lucky if he doesn't do something stupid like Latu. Connal hasn't really consistently performed at a high enough level. LL is too green, small and gets rag dolled by men at the...

Bring Swain home and use the international spot on a Hooker while we bring through a young hooker. Unfortunately Nasser just isn't up to scratch and seems to get absolutely bullied.

Force are clear favourites. Got to fly straight home from Sydney to their comfy beds. Reds had to fly back and clear out their flooded houses, no training fields and decimated by injuries and still have to fly over. Only thing that can save the Reds is, a 'Classic' Andrew Ready double yellow...

Curious Dru, can you expand why you're happy to give Daugunu a break but not Jordan? I don't see Jordan displacing anyone at the moment. Flook and Stewart aren't wingers, so even if Hunter comes back and displaces Flook, Jordan and Josh aren't competing for the 14 jersey.

Flipio is first cab off the ranks when we have a choice. Hasn't really done anything and that dropped pill that was under no pressure could have been costly. Jordan has excelled in his 60-65 minute cameos. If that's how we manage him and get the best out of him then I'm all for it.

At this rate, the Reds would be better off flying to WA tonight to get a full week of dry training over there. I cant imagine Ballymoore is above water?

What constitutes a dropped ball being lost forward these days? With how Damon interpreted the law, I genuinely confused at what a knock on is. Is it, if it goes back originally and then a hint of forward roll it's a knock on?
