In normal course of events, Stewart would be training with the Reds and plying his trade almost exclusively in club rugby/under age rep jerseys next year. If he really kicked on he might be a semi regular Reds sub. Given the absolute dearth of fly half talent in Australia at present and the...

He's a luxury we can't afford?? Sorry - I don't understand where you are coming from. For years we've pined for more impact from our backrow. Higgers has had the ability, but has been unable to be effective at test level. Surely last night he showed promise that not only could he bring his a...

Depends if Slipper gets back to his form 2-3 yrs ago when he was one of the Wallabies best before getting injured. IMO his form in the last 18 mths has been well below his best. Like TOCC says - I hope he takes the time to recover properly but that is not really the modern way where plays...

Good first up effort from Hunt. His desperation in defence was noticeable. Looked like a greyhound chasing the bunny (luckily he weighs more than a greyhound these days). I thought it was a pretty good game from the Wallabies for a first test. I understand the angst from many on here - but it...

3. Hunt 2. Coleman 1. Higgers

The player being tackled got his knee to the ground. Once he does that he is deemed to be tackled and the defenders must release him to give him the chance to play the ball.

I'm happy to hear that. I'm not sure he is going to be a test player soon, or possibly ever, but dear God we need to develop some options at 10.

Speak for yourself

Given the circumstances of his departure, I'm not sure an offering of your left testicle is going to be the thing that entices him back.

Agree 100% Braveheart. If anything, I think we've too often, sometimes through lack of alternatives, bought players through too quickly and not made them work hard enough. There is nothing wrong with giving them exposure to the squad and, if their form warrants it even picking them for a test or...

Not to seem argumentative Amirite, but if we can get 4 good years out of Karmichael, we should take it with both hands.

I think some people forget what an outstanding league player Hunt was. Whilst Folau's profile was on the rise at the time Hunt left league he was far more accomplished than Folau. Slater was being picked in the wing for QLD to accomodate Hunt at the back. The other thing with Hunt, he really...

Redshappy - a lot of what you say is accurate, but with regards to us fans who are supposedly 'happy' to accept the status quo - what exactly would you have me do? And what difference would it make? Walk away completely? Say fuck it, I'm done. Exactly how does that help? Do you honestly think...

Hmmm.... I get what your saying, but I still think your selling him short. I'd kill to have a 10 with his ability available at the moment. Edit: sorry BJ - was typing this while you posted. Will leave it at that.

Redshappy - I agree with your two points above, but I would have to say that I think that the dire state of game is at least as much the fault of the QRU & NSWRU as it is the fault of the ARU. They are both very fortunate to be indisposable otherwise either would be very deserving of the chop...

Lock depth is looking up. Jury is still out on the next generation of 9s, but there is some promise there. Our options/depth at 10 are dire.

I could be wrong, but I thought the referees were specifically not supposed to do pre game analysis to reduce the likelihood of preconceived ideas. The Reds discipline has been a recurring problem though and it cost them dearly last night.

Does Matt Duffy get sin binned for taking his own legs above the horizontal?

The Ioane brothers are great players - but gee they carry on. Not sure there is much humility in either of them.

I think Hunt deserves to be favourite for the 15. Up until last night I still thought Folau would keep a spot in the 15, with my prefernce for him to be in the 14 jersey - but gee he was unimpressive last night, and hasn't done much that I've seen in the games leading up to last night. He may...
