FWIW my team on current squad. 1 JP Smith 2 BPA 3 Tupou 4 Rodda 5 Tui 6 Higgers 7 Wright 8 Timu 9 McDermott 10 Stewart 11 Daugunu 12 Kerevi - Paia’aua 13 CFS - Kerevi 14 Perese - CFS 15 Petaia 16 Mafi 17 Hoopert 18 Ruan Smith 19 Hockings 20 ASY (Angus Scott-Young) 21 Sorovi 22 Paia'aua - Perese 23 Toua I...

I’ve seen Sefa play 13 a couple of times and he played well hence my query... and given Izzy is probably a more accomplished winger/fullback I thought it an odd selection unless I had missed something. Agree re: Kerevi hence I’d rather him start and run till stuffed than come on with 30 to go...

Did he (IZzy) play well at 13? I recall seeing some comments saying it was a failed experiment. Think I only caught one game and he didn't stand out. 13 isn’t an easy position to just pick up. Knowing Cheik they will probably swap positions in attack/Defense anyway as well as change up the...

Correct me if I’m wrong but has Niavalu not played significantly more at 13 and performed better there? Folau is also probably the better roaming winger/fullback? Back 5 in the pack don’t have much impact. Could be in for another long night. I would have been tempted to start Dempsey/Kerevi and...

That one i definitely saw. He could just be catching up with them however its a fair distance for him to go from Toulon.

Well perhaps I'm more blind as a bat then! Probably should have started that statement with "i think mw eagle eye...."

On players to join... Hanson still injured I believe - looks like the have the front row covered anyway. Agree with the thought 2 of Mcmahon, Mumm and Fardy - however I suspect just Fardy unfortunately... see last point. Hopefully Speight joins them - Morahan deserves his chance to shine again...

Latu selected because Hanson broke his jaw in 3 places at training yesterday. Shame for him as has been doing his time waiting for a shot. Doubt Latu will get much, if any, game time.

On the 12 topic I would have loved to see the forgotten man of Aus rugby, Tapuai, given a shot. He has everything we have been asking for in a 12. Running game, decent defense, good distribution skills and a left boot. Injuries hit him at the wrong time and the Reds didn't utilise him well. He...

Thoughts on a: 9. Genia 10. Foley 11. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 12. Giteau 13. Falou 14. Mitchell /Horne if Mitchell not fit 15. DHP or: 13. Kerevi 14. DHP 15. Falou RES: Phipps, To'omua, Horne

I've not seen much of Meakes so I watched some footage of him on youtube. He looks pretty handy. Physical, good footwork with great hands and a decent offload. Could be a great pick up for the Force.... finally a genuine 13? I wouldn't be upset with a back line of Prior - Lance - (insert...

I saw on the main forum page that Dismal was the last to post here and thought to myself "fark I've got to see what he has written about his own hopeless team" Did NOT disappoint. Thank you sir. I shall now be a regular visitor to this forum.

I'd like to see Duncan given a run at 12, I've been pretty impressed with him there in a few games I've seen. McIntyre was still running sideways when he got the ball on saturday night, I hope they actually give Greene a shot from the beginning of a game soon. It's impossible to come on and...

Something like 8 Prem grade players and a heap of res/1st grade players are competing in a tournament in Hong Kong. Left before the GC game.

Having seen Greene at club level and NRC over the past few years I honestly believe he is the most talented back at the Reds. That's a very difficult thing for a Uni man to say about a Filth player however it's true. The kid understands the game but more importantly has the skills to put that...

More just answering the question USA Rugger asked. Everyone will have an opinion on which ones were rightly/wrongly let go. There is some real quality on that list though.

Off the top of my head... Angus Cotteral, Matt To'omua, Tevita Kurindrani, jr Rasolea, Matt Lucas, Brad Wilkin, Jessie Mogg, Harley Fox, Ben Meehan, Ah Wong, JP & Ruan Smith. Young players who player a couple seasons not wanted by Reds Lance, Prior, Toua, Butler, Anae, Enever, Placid, Morohan...

A few people have told me that it's double that and has been kept very quiet for obvious reasons. One of the highest paid players at the Reds, behind possibly only Hunt. I don't know who pays what amount but 200K contract seems incorrect. Bit of a desperate grab for Japanese interest given that...

Yeah mate I heard the same a little while ago.... fingers crossed out mail is right!

I've heard from players that he is back running etc now. He may not be too far off.
