For the second week I’m going to take the lazy approach and just borrow someone else’s team. I did consider Maddocks at fullback, but I think at least part of that is me being happy he is (IMO) playing well despite being in a poor team. But he still made a couple of mistakes and Banks was...

Haha - thank God. Sorry about all the bad things I called you when I read your comment then.

With regards to the games - kudos to the whole Brumbies set up. We often talk about how good their coaching/back office system is and I thought last night was a perfect example. When you strip it out I didn’t actually think that some of the individual Waratah performances were too bad...

Am I missing the sarcasm and in some of these comments??? We should take the franchises who have either built their playing rosters from the ground and/or consistently taken good young talent and turn them into consistent super rugby/test level players - make them give up players they’ve...

Here is a worthwhile read on the Centre’s roles https://www.theroar.com.au/2021/02/26/coachs-corner-issue-1-can-the-reds-midfield-step-up-for-australia/

Yeah - England wins. And none of us want that.

Yeah - I thought we got away with one there.

A lot of complaints about the ref, but as far as I could see he was right most of the game. Poor discipline from both side. So ma y penalties. The players should be expected to adapt to the rules.

Well - I’m not a mod, but generally the idea is to keep all comments relating the the game on the match thread for at least 24 hrs I believe.

Mate - can you edit your post and remove the bit about the game score. They have a seperate match thread so people who haven’t seen the game but plan to can still come onto here

And most of his posts are shit stirring rubbish

Woohoo - not pretty. But I’ll take that.

Is To'omua Tim Horan’s brother?

That was stupid by Fotuaika. Players need to learn

Yeah - I know we have different opinions on Jock. The joy of being an arm chair critic. I must say though I’m bloody glad we are in a position where we can be debating which quality player gets left out and how do we get our boom prospects a run when we have established guys playing well. It’s...

Not really for me. Campbell was be of our best and most consistent last year. He is a good organiser and creates a lot of line breaks. While a lot of us have seen Petaia as a 13, he has played a lot on the wing for the Reds and has been very good there. If it comes to a straight decision...

I’ll just go + 1 on Slims team, if that’s okay. It’s close enough to what I would have picked.

On a seperate point, I’ve heard Hegarty has been extremely sharpe at pre-season. I want guys like Creighton, Henry & Flook et al to earn a spot by being better than the guy they’re replacing.

Yeah - I’ve seen it a few times now too. But I’ve only ever seen it in the context ‘I’ve heard’ or ‘apparently’ I thought it was notable that when I first posted, no one came out and said - yeah, that’s right. There would surely be people on here who know - maybe they just have more discretion...
