Final predictions? I’m fully prepared for periods of false hope soon followed by crippling depression

Hooper was holding his head for the first 10sec or so he was down, and then periodically throughout the rest of the time he was down and walking off for the HIA-that-wasn’t. Didn’t make a difference it would appear

The clanger for me was the shoulder to Hooper's head - understandable if BOK missed it, but the TMO should have pulled that up for a look. The Tahs were comprehensively outplayed and BOK didn't change the outcome, but it's incredibly frustrating to see yet another instance of (potential) foul...

McReight has also filled in at centre 2 or 3 times this year. Obviously not ideal, but a possibility if shit hits the fan

Every. Fucking. Week.

I wouldn't be surprised if Flook gets some time in TRC to suss him out as a WC utility option. As TSR said, it might be a year too early, but it's hard to deny that he's been one of the most consistently solid utilities from Super this season.

Daugunu was a bit of a liability last week, and looked pretty solid at 13. Flook will be solid anywhere. I’m not 100% sure I understand it, but that’s the best I got.

You'd think it's a bloody tough ask, and very unlikely, to be at your peak after 12mo out

Apophenia ˌa-pə-ˈfē-nē-ə noun The human tendency to see connections and patterns that are not really there.

Haven't seen this noted here yet, but exec search firm Hattonneale were engaged for this search ending in Waugh. They were the ones who also identified Marinos - not sure about Pulver and Castle though.

I think this goes a ways to summing up the sentiment from many, myself included, why a 'rugby identity' may not have been the best choice - selecting someone from outside of the system, based on their business/operational successes and experience, could have helped to reduce any unconscious...

Obviously he's just got that Argentinian passion for the game

He did expand a little bit at the presser

Alun Wyn Jones might be attracted to warmer pastures to see out his last season or two

These choices are peak "post shit takes on social media to drive interactions"

Yep - the Reds can win the comp and still end the season with more losses (9) than wins (8)

These are two of his previous incidents

Absolutely a bad habit / issue with his technique running into contact. I can see how this instance wasn't picked up during the game though - it seems pretty 50/50 as to whether this is a 'raised' knee (at least from this single frame) or just difference in body height and a bit of bad luck
