It is not only positioning though. Bringing on Stewart requires a complete change in what the 12 is doing and how the backline organises around it. At least it has done when Stewart has taken started on the field so far. No doubt they could change his instructions. In fact, with Stewart not...

IMO opinion, what we are seeing is an evolution in the game of Loose Heads that oppose Tupou. And at this point, he is holding things together. Back to the quote - there is little relevance or accuracy in any of these claims and counterclaims that look at Tupou without looking to the opposing...

In terms of NSWRU (and for that matter whoever ends up as Waratah HC) - Winston Churchill said "it takes courage to stand up and speak". But he also once said "it also takes courage to sit down and listen". Rugby in NSW will continue with it's disfunction unless the institutions that are rugby...

As much as I look back to the Link era with incredible fondness, his coaching skillset is hardly current. I could see him in a "Director of Rugby" style role, but not HC. Even if he was interested.

Awesome try.

Slipper heads the list and agree that Eloff nudges out Zander. All the same "long way off" is not close to correct.

1 Zander (RED) 2 Mafi (RED) 3 Slipper (BRU) 4 Swain (BRU) 5 Neville (BRU) 6 Scott-Young (RED) 7 McReight (RED) 8 Samu (BRU) 9 McDermott (RED) 10 Harrison (WAR) 11 Daugunu (RED) 12 Paisami (RED) 13 Ikitau (RED) 14 Muirhead (BRU) 15 Maddocks (WAR)

I've got all sorts of hopes for Vunivalu that start with a better understanding of positioning and D. Can't see that easier at 13. Petaia needs to pick his off loads a lot better and try going inside on occasion. They will both be fabulous but they have some homework for now.

Sorry. Petaia and LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) had issues last week up there with turning up to training drunk?

Just too halter skelter. Too much drop ball, and desperation plays that were not required. Desperation is not the same thing as creativity. Reds are not the finished product, by a long shot. All that said, it is a good time to be a Red fan. :)

This Reds team has nothing of the feeling of ascendancy that 2011 did. They are good, very good. But they are not on the pace that they set for themselves. Or that fans are hoping for.

Harrison best for Tahs, followed by Maddocks. Perese did not look outclassed by Paisami even with a very personal battle. A battle that Paisami won, but Perese stepped up to the standard. Reds messy.

hahaha!

I'm biting my fingernails on your behalf here. Going close!

Bollocks it is. Huge opportunity for non 15 players to take a shot at the future. And the 1st 15 who are left to demonstrate leadership. Important period for the Reds.

I think Hegarty has had a great game. But he's been out-posted by Maddocks I think.

Actually he's been one of Waratahs best.

YC WTF? What the actual fuck? Completely unnecessary.

Petaia is hurt. Running on one leg.

Come on Asiata. It's Super but it's still rugby.
