Agreed. That was just the team I would like to see for the reasons mentioned. Almost impossible to see Rennie leaving JOC (James O'Connor) out and not in the 10 slot. I suspect the backline will basically be unchanged.

I would change it up a little and go with: 1. Tupou 2. Latu 3. Slipper 4. Arnold 5. Skelton 6. Leota 7. Samu 8. Valetini 9. White 10. Lolesio 11. Daugunu 12. Paisami 13. Perese 14. Wright 15 .Kellaway R. FF (Folau Fainga'a) R. AAA R. Bell R. Swain R. Swinton R. Tate R. JOC (James O'Connor) R. Ikitau I want to see Latu...

T The English forward pack they picked v Tonga this weekend is very good. Our boys will need to be on point and up for that game. Their breakdown threat will be massive.

I was always impressed by Hansen and thought he had earned a fair few more starts at 15 for the Brumbies. He is a talent, with more game time in Aus I think a lot more people would think so too. Scored some great tries in his limited super time. Pace, skills and a rugby brain. I'm not sure...

Phone mishap mate. Happens to the best of us.

It will be interesting. They'll have to manage JOC (James O'Connor) so he doesn't break down. If Stewart has another ball player at 12 in Paisami or Henry outside him as well as Jock at 15 I think we will be fine as long as the structures are good. Stewart should be able to perform at this level. He has had...

I'm really excited to see how a few guys come along next year. From the bigger names Wilson, McReight and LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) after their downtime and big off season. If they can all get their bodies right, stronger and more powerful then the Reds will have a very impressive pack. The not so big names who I...

I'm a member and haven't seen anything. Folks are lifetime members and haven't received anything. Very strange.

Does anyone have any info on tickets and where they are available from? Their socials have said come on sale tomorrow at 3pm aest. I just looked online and some site called theticketmerchant is claiming to sell some. Ticketek is already selling tickets for the Suncorp games and a bunch of the...

I like that 23. On currently selectable players I don't think there is much / anything I would change. Hoping Lolesio & Banks continue to grow into their roles. Hodge will be underdone but has played plenty of intl rugby before so hopefully will be fine.

I believe there is and that organisation in Australia is RUPA. Part of the players contracts stipulates that they can only perform duties related to work up to a maximum of X hrs / week. This includes games, training, gym and also things like video reviews and team meetings. I was shocked when I...

I haven't read through this entire thread yet but has anyone suggested trying to get Quade down there as a mentor and 10/15 option? I really like the look of Donaldson and Harrison. Would like to see more of Harrison at 15 to develop his "scope". Also think Maddocks has a heap of potential. Tahs...

Wonder if the Force would pick him up. Certainly be an upgrade. Quade looks very fit. Edit: forgot they had picked up the 2 young guns. Posted in Waratah 2022 my thoughts on it.

Big no for me. Hodge doesn't have that next level in him(yet). He is a little below Mr reliable tag for me. Still misses tackles he should make, throws some shocking passes and his rugby IQ isn't where it should be for a guy with his experience. I like him, seems like a good honest toiler but...

Comparing one player's defensive capabilities who was in the Tahs 2021 team to one of say the Brumbies 2021 team is folly. Their defensive structure and organisation was a mess. This train of thought is like saying the equivalent Brumbies players shouldn't be selected because they made half as...

Very good points Rodha. I agree.

I had forgotten how young Isi is. Only 26. Honestly thought he was about 30. We really need to keep him in oz for the next world cup. Should be in the prime of his career then. His TT form has been impressive. I am happy for Kellaway. Think he has potential to be a test player however he just...

I have that unfortunate feeling that this game will be a pantsing. Hurricanes hurting from last week, particularly Jordie. With a NZ jersey on the line I can see him stepping up and having a blinder. Odd Reds selections in the backs. Very concerned they will run rampant through / around our...

I've always felt To'omua is a better test player than Super player. I may be misremembering however I recall him being very good when he was brought on during the last world cup. He was great last year, I think that will be enough in DR's mind to give him a crack at 12 for the Wobs. I am also in...

I understand they are still having to manage him and his workload quite a bit after his terrible achillies injury in the UK. Would be a great pick up for the Reds. Passionate QLDer with a wealth of experience to pass on. Still a few good years in him.
