Happy to check if Rugby Park in Rocky is free.

He certainly can’t do much more to push his case. He’s been very bloody good.

No idea - but I’d find that extremely unlikely. How would we be funding 100% of their pre-COVID contract?

A couple of things - - Petaia is best at 13. I’d be happy to see him at 11 for the rest of this season because he is a very good winger too, especially if CFS is injured, but he is potentially the long term Wallaby 13. I’d rather we don’t stuff him around. Hunter has been great this season, but...

I believe Malolua is off contract and can’t be re-signed due to not being Wallaby eligible. Although maybe that rule will change if we need to ensure we have 5 competitive sides. If not Sorovi needs to step up or he will he passed over. Who else is in the production line. Didn’t we bring a young...

I think Petaia is our long term 13, probably as early as next year, but I’d be quite happy to retain Kuridrani at the moment. He’s a proven test player, gets over the gain line and defends well. Petaia is excellent on the wing too, so I would retain him there. JOC (James O'Connor) has been my preferred 12 all...

So, in the end I have just put myself through the pain of watching the last 5 minutes again. At the end of the day, the Reds just failed with some of the detail that would have got them home. In the last 5 minutes - - Stewart gave away a lazy penalty lying in the break down off the kick off -...

Daugunu is generally pretty good in that department. And after making an absolute shocker of a tackle in that pre-season trial in Gladstone he seems to have learnt his lesson and is very good with his timing.

Gee Tupou is playing well this year. Just outstanding. Ala'alatoa has been good too for that matter.

Does anyone else think Kata raised his knee into the tackle of Campbell?

See - it’s interesting MST - I completely disagree on the kicking thing and I would argue the Kiwi sides all kick more than we do. But our kicking is too often poorly executed and/or all just kicking for distance. From my perspective good attacking teams have a well structured kicking game with...

I think I’ll turn it off with 5 to go.

Just re-watching the game. It’ll be interesting what he did just before half time. He was clearly distressed and I thought his night was probably done, but he didn’t appear affected by it in the second half.

I think they’ve encouraged some more strategic kicking which I think is a really good thing for Australian rugby. Some of the kicking is good some of it is bad, but I’m a believer that we will only get better at this stuff but making it a bigger part of our game. So I think that is a really...

On a side note - loved the Brumbies indigenous jerseys.

It was a good, driving tackle, but you and I have different descriptions of ‘rag dolled’. He also had another good shot (can’t remember who on) and a couple of good charges. I’ve no doubt you could compile a great highlights video on him and he’d look terrific. But Derpus was talking Wallaby...

I just don’t get the hype on Valetini. I’ve tried to watch him closely given the hype about him. Clearly lots of others share your opinion, and he has started ever game from memory in the Brumbies back row so obviously they’re happy with him. But for mine he isn’t consistently physically...

As disappointing as that was, I thought that was a cracking game. I don’t really see the point of the criticism of the Brumbies. If our Maul worked like that I’d want us to used it. I thought the Reds were unlucky on a couple of calls, but that’s rugby. I could make some other observations...

Thorn seems to rate Malolua highly - and fair enough. He doesn’t have McDermott’s running game but his passing is excellent. I’d prefer to see McDermott start but I’m happy to have two halves of such good quality.

Which game did Salakaia-Loto go missing in this year?
