On current form you'd take Swinton or Hanigan over Holloway. I'd take Swinton myself.

Surely it just comes down to who's available. If they can find someone with a decent CV who is interested you'd imagine they'd take the chance to move on but that's a fairly big IF given financial constraints.

He gets over the gainline and sucks in 2-3 tacklers per carry. That's the exact role Valetini plays and gets plaudits for.

Do we know if French/Japanese players are going to be involved?

Our scrum is a huge concern. Desperately need AAA to stay fit.

Fair enough - considering the effort he'd put in over the course of the game I don't personally blame him for getting gassed by Clarke.

Yeah I was perhaps being a bit negative.

Final thought - Wilson my MotM for the Reds. I thought Wilson was hugely instrumental in matching it up front with the Blues. He was in absolutely everything on both sides of the ball and also played the ref really well. The young wing was incredible but the Reds wouldn't have been in touching...

Yeah but we lose them lots though

Thought Paisami was more at fault for the boxkick counter attack. But it's also somewhat endemic in Aussie rugby - we are regularly caught out by the Kiwi's willingness to play it fast.

I dunno - I thought the wildly obvious offside cleanout from Wilson that led to a Reds turnover early in the second half adequately demonstrated the level of nuance Doleman is capable of applying to a game. Just fucken cheat because you'll only get called back 10% of the time.

4/9 is a hell of a lot better than 2/9. Wanna swap? It's the losses to MP (Moana Pasifika) and Force that perplex.

It should be used to sack Kiss in my view. Fucken garbage selection decision.

It's crazy that he's still an employed rugby union footballer who gets selected for a Super Rugby side AND has national caps despite not having for a single fucking second demonstrated that he's even remotely capable of playing the game. He's earnt like 2m from us? I want 2m and I can't fucken...

Or your captain could just take it to the line rather than taking the 3. I get that it's still a gamble but with a yellow card warning its really a no-brainer.

Yeah well - you can't blame Vunivalu for continually getting picked.

Decision making across Australian sides certainly seems poor at the moment. Just take a breath and think about it for half a second.

Two key decisions cost them the game. A boxkick with knock on advantage that lead to a try and then taking the 3 when it only got them 7 ahead.

So ends a fairly grim weekend for Australian sides.

Cannot believe the Reds conspired to lose that. Jesus they'll want that penalty kick decision again.
