Absolutely over the moon for Vesty. Great bloke and something I'm sure he couldn't see happening this quickly after being dumped from the tahs after pre season. Brad sure has an eye for for talent in the forwards. I think Vest is more of a Brad style lock at Pro level than backrower, let's see...

With Simone and Banks likely heading off I wouldn't be surprised to see the Brumbies target off contract Stewart and potentially Creighton (to join his bro) down there. If we didn't have Henry and Flook locked up for 2023 you'd think they would be prime targets for the Brumbs and Rebs as well...

There is an article on Roar with a bit more info on his situation. Sounds like he is still struggling with alcohol issues. As much as it frustrates the shit out of me seeing a guy with as much potential as him continually fuck up I do feel sorry for him. He clearly has a very real and present...

LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto), ASY (Angus Scott-Young), Uru, Jock and Suli expected back for this game? Potentially some big inclusions!

I think he was eyeing a return this weekend after the bye? Hope so, keen to see him on the field.

No I'm not having an aneurysm, there appears to be some new black magic on this forum which adds James O'Connor after you type JOC (James O'Connor) Edit... see!

On the JOC (James O'Connor) v QC (Quade Cooper) discussion- I'm pretty sure we will see them both get good minutes v NZ. Probably JOC (James O'Connor) to start the 1st game then QC (Quade Cooper) 2nd or 3rd depending on how JOC (James O'Connor) performs. I agree with what a couple people said a few pages back... QC (Quade Cooper) is an out and out 10. JOC (James O'Connor) is developing into a good 10...

Agreed IF we don't take Japanese based players again. However even if we aren't, and we do not intend on increasing the cap for RWC, then it is probably a wasted space and chance for our locks to get more test match exposure on the EOYT. Do you think they will increase the cap? The impression...

You would have to think he is very long odds of being considered as one of the 3 overseas based players. At this stage he probably sits 5th at best. Might need to make a salary sacrifice and return to Aus if he wants to chase that dream. Cooper, Kerevi, Marika and Arnold > Skelton. That plus the...

I'd like to say, that recent post by the Reds... I wish Daugunu all the best for this weekend. I was critical of him as an armchair critic at the start of the season, not overly but enough for me to feel guilt over it. I live in a place where you cannot really leave since covid hit and it is...

Daugunu situation is strange. He didn't have the best first 2 outings this year but still. Should be in the 23.

Things just got harder for the Tahs! Great to see him cleared. Should never have been cited. He is a star in Qld, kids turn up to see him play. Here's to.a good game of rugby Saturday with the Reds getting up!

In all serious it looks like a textbook shoulder on shoulder clear out to me. He gets his body height low, makes contact flat / upwards trajectory, doesn't come down on the player and is accurate with his connection. Bizarre to me the he has been cited. The only possible thing I can think of is...

Also, I posted this in Reds 2022 chat. It is probably more suited to this discussion. Sooooo what are people's thoughts on the Vunivalu situation? Currently a truckload of money spent for zero return. IMHO he will have to come out of the blocks firing, and last the rest of the season without...

Nems is a very good 12 as well, and has been on record claiming it is his favorite position. Personally I think he would bring great value to the Reds playing group and organisation. Anyone who has met or spent time with him would know he is one of the most down to earth genuine blokes you...

Hanson is Injured. Went into his last game with a knee injury then busted his shoulder in his first carry and played the rest of his minutes. Pretty tough to do in the front row.

Sooooo what are people's thoughts on the Vunivalu situation? Currently a truckload of money spent for zero return. IMHO he will have to come out of the blocks firing, and last the rest of the season without injury, to justify another contract anywhere near his current one. Will his value have...

I'm in agreeance mate. Seems mad to me to move the best performing 15 in oz super to the wing to accommodate an experiment. However for all we know they could be trialing the 2 fullback system. Still imo a slap in the face to Jock. Yes he isn't dropped but, history will show, he isn't a winger...

Poor guy. All the best for a speedy recovery. Reds looking really thin in the hooking department now. Seriously wonder if we can get one of those brumbies Hookers or a seasoned one from overseas. Really need better than what we now have there.

Does anyone know what the actual issue is?
