With JOC (James O'Connor) unsigned and Stewart being nominated the time span for development might not be compatible with Lynagh. Though a great sign and with my suggestion we could use 2x development 10s it does ease that burdon.

Can Anstee do both Olympics and the 15s internationals?

Completely agree. A development 10 should have been high priority ever since a certain 10 (and a pair of locks) departed.

Don't disagree, but at the moment 12 Stewart 13 Paisami has some kudos that 12 Paisami 13 Petaia just does not.

That is a complete overreaction (in the negative) of what Petaia brings to the table. I suspect that Petaia is struggling for the best slot to suit him. But his natural talents shine. We're lucky to have him.

BUT there are plenty expecting 10 JON 12 To'omua. At which point there is no way Ikitau beats Paisami to the 13 jumper.

Haha! All good. Reckon we are entitled to our glory days.

I am so looking forward to the Stan broadcast of the Hospital Cup. This thread always helps me get my head around where the clubs are at, but it is plenty confusing this year. Rock on Tigers.

That's daylight savings. Time is fine. Waratahs are a bit behind at the moment, but you know, they'll get there. Time evens out in the end.

Awesome. Personally I'd swap BPA and Mafi. I'm still uncomfortable with 12 Stewart 13 Paisami - but it likely is strongest for Reds. Uru definitely runs on from the bench 19/20 is just about whether or not Wright is ready. Awesome selections, Reg.

Agree on how Hooper will return. Completely disagree that he should be captain. The loose forwards have options all over the park and we don't need a slot locked away by having a captain there. Rennie should also now have a better idea on where he is going. Who knows, maybe that entails Hooper...

Yep. Not just the Reds though, but yep.

Oh fuck off. Let a bloke have a subtle boast of rep honours, Christ I'd put it out there. Have a little dignity.

What a complete waste of a fabulous game. World is missing out.

Like your centres so much I'm changing. I had been trying to stick with where people actually play, but stuff it, Perese deserves a vote.

1. Bell WAR 2. Fainga BRUM 3. Tupou RED 4. Hosea REB 5. Neville BRUM 6. Scott-Young RED 7. McReight RED 8. Wells REB 9. Gordon WAR 10. O'Conner RED 11. Campbell RED 12. Foketi WAR Paisami RED 13. Paisami RED Perese WAR 14. Wright BRUM 15. Banks BRUM Perese looking good.

Also the interaction between Cheika and Tupou. Genuine respect there.

Respect to the Rebels - super team playing great rugby. But wow, Reds. Some of the positional changes seemed odd before kick-off but the coaching team is shown to know their stuff once again. Against the fears, Campbell was utterly comfortable on the wing, including Digby-esque on the tight...

Powell is easily good enough to be wearing Gold. His problem is that he is all the same well beaten by White and shaded by both Tate and Gordon. If I was a Rebel fan I wouldn't swap him for anyone, but he has a tough pathway to GOLD.

Gordon's leadership makes a big difference.
