Yeah, it doesn’t seem like a rushed return - more just that recovery was quicker than initially expected.

I don't mind Stewart coming on as a closer - but at the same time, I probably still would've chosen him to start over Flook, given how strong his performances have been this season.

Anae as starting hooker is dire. Choosing him over Faessler is interesting - but going with experience, even if somewhat out of position, is probably the right call. Anyone know if Stephen Moore's still on a retainer after travelling with them to Melbourne? Mostly joking, but if we have one...

Him and Asiata are both ill

Does look a bit better 'in vivo' to be fair, but still prefer the Wallaroos' designs

Man, I had such high hopes after the Wallaroos' kit - neither of these are really doing it for me. I think the First Nations jersey is the least 'integrated' one we've run so far - it just looks like they've slapped on the overlay on a Friday arvo and called it...

This is my thought as well - if JOC (James O'Connor) isn’t the starting 10, him playing the role of an experienced utility is not a bad shout at all.

Sure, but your original comment was largely about not keeping young players once they had matured, whereas I think the opposite has been the case. I'm curious which players you're referring to? I may have forgotten some, but the majority of young players who have come in under Thorn's tenure...

I mean, considering the number of talents that have come up through the Reds in recent years, they've done a great job of retention in my eyes - you simply can't keep them all. Who are you referring to specifically? Kerevi, Rodda, Gordon, Lucas are probably the most notable losses, which were...

Although he’s been used as a utility back, Creighton’s favoured position is flyhalf, and he was recruited as such.

So you’re connecting three separate pieces of media/commentary in your head without explaining as much, linking one that references nothing to do with your initial comment, and then having a crack at people’s intellect when you’re asked to clarify? Truly odd behaviour. Ironically, this is...

Correct, but I think they were two colours for both teams (ie red/white and blue/yellow)

From the stands the Reds' backline looked flatfooted and absolutely directionless - really missed the go-forward and decisiveness JOC (James O'Connor) and Paisami often provide. I can't understand why Tate was pulled off with 15-20 to go when the game was in the balance. Jeans was solid, but if the game's...

Forecast suggests a good chance of a storm coming through around 6pm - hopefully moved on by kickoff

This would be why mate - tickets aren't on sale yet but the merchant has put up a listing as a placeholder and to get a foothold in the market; the 'sold out' tag is just a synonym for 'not available'. The ticket merchants/resellers are sanctioned scammers - avoid at all costs (for events that...

Particularly now that Paisami is out, I imagine it's to free Jock up to slot in at first receiver and help out Creighton more. As @Purce said, it's probably better than the alternative too, and Jordy will play a hybrid game as is usually the case - although if Creighton goes down or is pulled...

Paisami injured or dropped?

Petaia was supposedly close for this week, so he’ll be back, and you’d assume Vunivalu too. JOC (James O'Connor) is a chance for the 14th against the Blues. Little info on Henry’s injury other than it’s longer-term.

Yes apologies everyone, I should’ve been more specific/used a different term. I was referencing the number of soft tissue injuries that seemingly haven’t been as a result of impact/collision - strains, pulls, tears, etc., which I know are part and parcel with any sport, but it seems like we’ve...
