It’s nice to hear there are some options coming through

Jakiya Whitfield has been outstanding in her debut tournament

Aussie Women’s performance is even more impressive when you consider they are without Caslick, Pelite, Cherry & Du Toit. The latest group of youngsters are doing some good things.

He certainly missed the Buffalo

Aussie Girls win the World School 7s. Opponent in the final were Japan who were very impressive, even though the Aussie girls got them in the end.

I can see Stewart making a good fist at 12, but I am not so confident in JOC (James O'Connor) at 10. I’m sure he would be okay, but I think his skills are probably more suited at 12. But I guess we’ll see soon enough. If they did go with that option I’d rather see them push Hegarty back to the bench and start...

If everyone is fit I feel it more likely he’ll be bench cover for 11, 13 & 14 with Stewart covering 10, 12 & 15. So, I’d reckon 9. Mcdermott 10. Lucas or Hegarty 11. Speight 12. JOC (James O'Connor) 13. Petaia 14. Daugunu 15. Lucas or Hegarty Bench - Malolua or Sorovi; Stewart; CFS I would only see CFS...

It’s okay - the grandstand has good shade and the beer will be cold. It’ll be tough going for the players though.

Thanks guys - appreciate the insight.

A couple of questions for the Prem Rugby watchers - - at what point, if any, does Carter Gordon come into the reckoning for a gig. Is he likely to be part of the match day squad by season end (without relying on injuries) - is he our long term 10? In which case, would people on here prefer to...

Too many Tahs!!

Great to see the country locations. Assume Santos would have had some say in that - but there seems very clear intent by the current Reds admin to reconnect with Regional Qld.

I dunno. In one way it is scary, in another it’ll hopefully be a breath of fresh air. I’m not sure any of the young guys on your list are ready to take the mantle this year, but I look forward to them having a crack at it. IMO it is definitely the most promising group of young talent we’ve had...

I'd say the race for 10 is about as open and unclear as it has ever been. All of the possible options I am aware of are either completely new to Super Rugby, very inexperienced/unproven (particularly to be considered a test prospect) or tried and underwhelming. I can't really see Hegarty...

No - it’s not. But the discussion was around whether or not the Reds could/should sign a marquee 10. IMO that ONLY makes sense if they are a top flight 10, not just a solid squad option. I can’t think of an Australian eligible player who fits that criteria at present who may be likely to sign.

If we were going to sign a 10, it needs to be a top notch 10 IMO and I can’t think of one free, doubt we could afford them and find it extremely unlikely that RA would sign off on it. We have a talented, but young and inexperienced backline. Hegarty is a solid option and, from all accounts a...

Like you say ‘if he applied himself’. That’s my word of caution. I get the thrust of your point - he may we’ll get more consistent as he gets older. Plenty have before. But there are also plenty who looked to be world beaters on the rise that get derailed for all manner of reason. His level of...

Would it be a good thing though. Latrell is a great player when he is on. Absolutely first class. But he is off more than on and his attitude appears to be causing him issues. In terms of what Nakawara brings as a player I can hardly think of a better fit. But given the manner of his recent...

Congrats ????

I think Nick Frisby was shown the door at the same time.
