Absolutely agree - huge loss, but I was trying to find the silver linings shades of LFG all over again

A shame to see solid player go, but probably a win for all parties. ASY (Angus Scott-Young) gets a shot at more game time than he likely would have got if he stayed, and the Reds get to free up some additional salary cap space to recruit in a position where we have less depth.

Leveraging the aerial threat posed by both Petaia and Vunivalu simultaneously is a tantalising prospect

I remember the first time I saw 7As (Allan Ala'alatoa)…

Not tackle busts specifically, but the best I can find

I'm not sure we can really be expecting tackle breaks on every kick return though. Regardless, the role of the fullback is more dimensional than that, and I think we're all pretty happy with what we've seen from those three this season, aren't we? And who are the alternatives? God forbid we...

Holy hell mate, let's not get bogged down on this hey. I'm well aware words matter, and stand by them. I judged their performances as being atypically high quality (read: exceptional) compared to both the rest of the players on the night, and the standard we've seen from Aus fullbacks in recent...

The quote was "having exceptional performances...throughout the season so far", actually - as in, in the context of a number of individual games, they were standouts. I'm glad we're not picking teams based on semantics

Yeah true, I forgot indicators of performance were only valid for 5 games per season...

Thought the Reds shut down the maul pretty effectively as well. With Banks, Petaia, and Campbell all having exceptional performances at 15 throughout the season so far, I'm not sure how you can call it a weak spot?

I believe his brother played hooker - surely the apple doesn't fall far from the tree

Quade struck at 70% for the wobs last year, and JOC (James O'Connor) did 82% - 30 vs 28 attempts respectively.

After all the work he did on his kicking and conversion game in 20/21 with Dave Alred, you'd think he has to be carrying an niggle or something to knock his confidence. 68% conversions so far this season compared to 88% in 21 and 76% in 20. I recall he's had issues with conversions in the past...

10-4 Kintetsu is still in Div 2 of the comp I'm 99% sure. Looks like QC (Quade Cooper) hasn't played in a few games, last appearance was 6 March. Obviously a lot of variables at work, but the games he played earlier in the year Kintetsu was thumping teams, whereas recently they've been much closer

He's back on the GC launching his clothing brand at the moment

Disgusting. Rusty is the only choice.

Moore's booked height is closer to 6'1, so we're looking at about 3" difference. Not huge, but not nothing, although I guess it's really the torso/leg proportions that make a difference. Nothing Cameron Lillicrap can't sort out. Regardless, good to see a bit of a break from the mould and...

Huge shame for both of them - Nasser's development from last season has been immense, and it really seemed like Wright was starting to find some form again.

Here's the full article - MSN butchered the republish. He was having a crack at the SANZAAR intervention for that incident, and made general comments about stoppages and rulings that take away physicality ruining the game...

Agreed. On the other hand, I'm actually looking forward to the matches against the kiwis instead of dreading them, which hasn't happened in a while. Hoping that we'll see some good contests.
