Scott is looking down on impact isn't he...I also would wager he's got some kind of niggle. Same thing when he usurped slipper originally. Slips has dodgy shoulders and was struggling along so Sio grabbed the spot.

The OTHER great one Scrub. Felsman scored a great try but needs more time to show what he can do and hopefully he'll get it. Isa Naisarani is playing 6/8 at the moment and played a bit of second row for Sunnybank I think.

There is 4 Lucas boys. Ben played for Reds, Matt the Tahs, Tom for 7's and the youngest (and most talented of the lot) is about to finish school

P.S Banks has been quite impressive in the NRC. He's a solid lad but very athletic and fast, aggressive and has a big boot. I think he (and Perese) have been the big mover for me in terms of looking to compete for that 14/15 role.

So are we potentially looking at; 1. Slipper 2. Moore 3. Talakai 4. Douglas 5. Simmons 6. Tui 7. The great one 8. Leroy 9. Pickle 10. QC (Quade Cooper) 11. Nabuli 12. DP 13. Kerevi 14. Magnay/CFS/Perese 15. Hunt 16. Ready 17. Fa'agase 18. Thor 19. Neville 20. Gunn 21. Tuttle 22. McIntyre 23...

The Chiefs released Horrell?!! Any Aus Super Rugby would do well to pick that lad up. Can play anywhere but 12 and 15 mostly and is a skillful and calm player.

The Reds

He certainly seems to have attracted a level of vitriol in league that is surprising. He was Broncs top try scorer last year and is supposedly very good under the high ball. I still think it's a rushed, poorly thought through signing but am happy to wait and watch for half of 2017 before...

Hanigan looks very very good. Lyman Tui covering lots of ground and leading the aggression. Just got caught twice over stepping the mark and sat down for 10

There is a theme for this recruitments. Local boys who have a rugby background. If Union is talking to league players then this is exactly how it should be approached.

If he had secured a release like Timu did and was coming across immediately to play NRC then I'd maybe understand

Money wise? no there is little risk. But squad spots are finite and the risk is that he may be less likely to add something positive than a winger plucked from the NRC or elsewhere. It's not like he was even a particularly dominant schoolboy player. It's a stupid, premature signing that makes...

Played all his schoolboy rugby at fullback though and has played there for the Broncos

Not a great signing. They've jumped the gun. They should have waited to see how the NRC unfolds

I reckon the Kerevi selection is probably as much about emotion and attitude as it is form and ability. Yes it's true he's had a pretty great season, but more so I think Cheik is looking for him to bring out his natural love and joy and passion and fearless attitude. All year Kerevi has been a...

That's a very solid team by country. Even with no Thorn. Expect good things

Interesting story about Ready. On 3 separate occasions in the last 5 years (since he was 18) he was told by the Reds "Sorry, we don't rate you above xyz, we won't be offering you a deal/game time/training squad spot etc." The lad plugged away, worked his arse off initially in club land and...

Along with Probably Stef hunt and 1 or 2 others as well.

Apparently in wallabies camp Tom Robertson has been training a bit at loose head as this is where they believe he is best suited long term.

Reg the answer is no I don't for certain, but Fels plays club rugby like a champ and has taken contracts in France and NZ previously I believe so it seems to me he'd like to give rugby a go if offered the chance (which he should have been)
