I wouldn't say recruitment/development is the problem. The Reds have one of the youngest squads in the competition and have developed some very good young players in the past 12-18 months. Gill, Tapuai, Shatz, Quirk, Feaui-Sautia, Lance, Shipperely have all been developed along the same timeline...

Gee sounds entertaining...........haha. Anything important to report Scott, or was it just general pre-season stuff?

And that overly defensive response furthers my point. I'm going to leave it there because this arguement is rendering pointless.

Missed Lucas big time. I do not rate Frisby at all. Even against the Rebels I thought he was very over-rated, he scored one good try, but his passing game is rubbish. CURRENTLY (before anyone jumps down my throat about potential), he is no better then a 3rd string half back.

Any news from Easts vs Wests

No I have not been happy, I think we are playing like horse shit. And in reference to "discussing the current and future performance of their team", I'm fine with that, but not in the childish manner you just did.

There is something strange with a large portion of the posters on G&GR. One loss and they think the season is over and then start imploding. This happens almost everytime the Reds lose a game, and even worse when the Waratahs do. Even the Force supporters were saying how they'd struggle to win a...

Fuck thanks for reminding me that we have to watch UJ cock up every two seconds this year. Hopefully he has fixed up his play and become more mature in his decision making. I would love to see him used as a ball running/kicking 12, and not so much a distributor. He's strong in contact and is a...

Would he be pushing for a starting spot, or would Mansell, Wilder, Faulkner be too good for him to break into the back three at this stage? Good to be building some depth in the backs now.

Strong team. The right replacements were made for Ioane and Shipperely. Bit suprised that Wallace-Harrison was selected in favour of Buttler.

I've been saying it for over a year now, someone needs to play McCabe at 13. His game-play suits a Mortlock-Esque type outside center. Defensively, having Tapuai and McCabe defending Tuilagi/Roberts/O'Driscoll (whoever), makes me feel a lot better then having AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) there. I do agree with you...

Just had a look at the National Academy teams on the other thread. Was wondering if anyone could give me a brief on Sam Fatall and Jonah Placid, both listed as Easts players for this season.

I don't know why anyone wants to move Tapuai to 13. He's 100 times better as a 12

Charles even being mentioned as a possible Wallaby is laughable right now. But Moore has to start. He is easily the best hooker in the country.

One thing that I am enjoying is how most people see Pyle as a contender to start. Last season I thought he should have been given a chance, but this season, along with Luke Jones, he has been playing the house down.

Not to be a negative nancy, but that team would get destroyed by the Lions. All those players are in form currently, but that doesn't translate into what will be/should be the test team. For example, there is no way Ben Mowen, Lealiafano or Jesse Mogg would be playing their debut against the...

Did Morahan bang Link's wife or something? He really should be in the 22 at least.

That's a fair side Paradox. Although from what I've seen of O'Connor this year, I have been impressed. But then again I didn't see the Brumbies game, and only a half against the Waratahs. But I'd probably have him ahead of Mitchell (out of position but oh well). I'd also argue that Gill has...

He seems to have a lot of faith in Toua. But I really don't think he deserves another shot. Morahan seemed hard done by when he was left out of the team against the Brumbies, and he has looked good in his two appearances so far this year. He should have been starting 15 in the first place.
