    Reds 2022

    Plus Scott Gale. Embarrassment of riches for the Heavies at half back this year. You would imagine at least 1 will push to another club next year. Young Christian has been very, very impressive. Heeno will be hesitant to shift him from starting 9. IIRC Moses Sorovi was told to move on from UQ...

    R3 Reds v Chiefs, turmoil in Townsville?

    Weird hey. I think he has been great at 15 and has shown this year he has the best kick in the squad. Puzzling. I don't think Hegarty has him in any area except as a distributor when slotting into 10. Edit: just saw he has a groin strain. Points stand.

    Super Rugby T-T R3: Waratahs v Crusaders

    Agreed. Surprised and disappointed to not see more of Woods after his impressive debut.

    TT Rnd 1: Highlanders v Reds

    Need to use Campbell on the exits. Has the longest most accurate kick this year. His 1 clearance tonight was try line to out on the 40.

    TT Rnd 1: Highlanders v Reds

    Not even the best at his club IMO, not even top 3. The continued selection is mind boggling. Hasn't shown anything during his game time to justify his selection over Sorovi. He is young and will get better but isn't super level yet. Really my only major issue with selections at the moment. Would...

    Jeez how did I forget him. Agreed, he is top of the list.

    Wallabies 2021

    Funny isn't it. Everyone thought we would be stuffed however I have thought for the last year or 2 that we are coming into a golden era for Locks in Australia. We've never had depth like this before. I actually think the guy with the highest ceiling you've left out, Nick Frost. Add again to...

    Super Rugby AU Grand Final - Reds v Brumbies - Saturday 8th May 2021

    In the immortal words of the Baron- RED RED RED! RED! Uppa QLD! Heading for pre game festivities now, hoping for the same outcome as the last Reds final I went to!

    Super Rugby AU Grand Final - Reds v Brumbies - Saturday 8th May 2021

    If Vuni is out then I would have gone Campbell 15 and Daugunu 11. Hegarty to help steer the ship in the 2nd half from the bench. Thomas shouldn't be near the 23 yet. Very perplexing selection. Blyth and Sorovi must have said something about Jeebus which Thorn overheard. Never to be seen again...

    Super Rugby AU Grand Final - Reds v Brumbies - Saturday 8th May 2021

    If I had my choice it would be Perrett. If I wanted a Ex Red 9 with a clearly obvious bias to undeservingly hand Qld the match then I'm happy with either Berry or Murphy.

    Reds 2021

    Does anyone have any idea why Blyth appears to be on the outer? I thought he and LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) would have a very strong combo under their belts by the end of the SRAU comp. He has just disappeared, very little social media snaps now with him in it from the reds. I was under the impression he was one of...

    Wallabies 2021

    To'omua has definitely shanked a few kicks this season, as have all the kickers for any Oz team mind you. I think it is pertient to point out when certain aspects of a player's game are due to coaching/gameplan. I would throw To'omua's general play kicking tactics into that pile as well...

    Wallabies 2021

    I probably wasn't clear enough with my last paragraph - I was trying to say that if he is selected for the wallabies it will be at 12 not 10. Unless both JOC (James O'Connor) and Lolesio are injured.

    Wallabies 2021

    I think there could be a bit of rewriting history going on here. Wallabies were best with To'omua at 12 last year and fell apart when he went off injured. I've made a point of watching him closely over the past couple of games and the criticism of him is a bit misguided. He is distributing well...

    SRAU RD 10 - Force v Reds Friday 23rd April HBF Park

    He has played there a bit at club and I think has had a couple stints there for the Reds. He is 194cm, both Thorn and Itoje are 195. I suspect his form this year has pushed him ahead of both Blyth and Smith. Hard to argue with. Very much a Thorn style lock. I don't mind it at Super level. I...

    SRAU RD 10 - Force v Reds Friday 23rd April HBF Park

    No Campbell for the Reds is a bit of a shock. Been the best 15 in SRAU. Wonder if they will give Petaia some time at 15 when subs come on.

    SRAU RD 10 - Force v Reds Friday 23rd April HBF Park

    Put Kahui in at 11 and I reckon that would be the top strength starting 15 for this Force squad. I wasn't too worried about this game but the coach has finally made some good selections.

    Super Rugby RD 9 Rebels v Brumbies

    What are you insinuating here? Murphy was an Aus 7s player. He may have got a cap for the Reds at some stage via WTS but definitely wasn't what you would consider a Reds player. Berry is the most anti-Reds ref going around. I thought the Rebels were hard done by today and unlucky not to get a...

    Super Rugby RD 9 Rebels v Brumbies

    Yes very odd selection. I thought Holland was actually bringing quite a lot to that team at 12. Would have done the same, 12 Hol 13 Mag. Rebels got to be close to giving Carter some time soon. Push MT to 12 where he will be playing for the Wobs most likely.
