Doing a straight like for like comparison I find it hard to reach any other conclusion than RA must go. But yes, dangerous.

Love the team sheet. Let's go boys.

Easily the most appropriate response to this drivel of a troll.

Not so sure as you on this Serge. I am unconvinced that 10s are bought, think we need to build them. Hegarty has brought stability, but we are past that surely. JOC (James O'Connor) brings strength that is not just immediate but may last, but he still needs an understudy. Don't think you can right off Lucas...

It is insulting though. WA is where they are due to issues outside their remit. So they've taken action to be met with "well you don't mark up". Did not, and does not, have to be that way. Should not either.

This connection bothers me. To me Stewart looked like a desperate hopeful for 10 never looked in place there, pushed hard for it, but had to be somewhere else. He is after 3 seasons looking solid at 12. I worried that Thorn did not know how to build a 10. This is not the same thing as a wider...

Hard to call this one. Sharks are reasonably favoured in RSA in 2020, they were down to 13 on tour against Rebels but somehow that performance did not inspire me. How solid are the Reds actually? This game is pretty important. I'm still buzzing from last week so I'm going to let my heart...

Lucas in on a programme of developing 10, and that surely stays a priority. Thorn was firm on his thoughts of developing the bench, so it would be strange if Daugunu doesn't get a chance here somewhere. So he either starts in lieu CFS or Hegarty drops from the bench. Whatever chance he gets...

Yep. I’m finding it hard not to get carried away, and as a Reds fan I think we deserve a bit of joy. Still need to be thinking about the look ahead.

Though I might consider the mid term play being Harrison or Lucas. But Yes, Lolesio with the inside running right now.

Yeah me too. Just not a long term play.

They did buy Hunt who I think has repaid handsomely. Appreciate what the Tahs did there. But I don't think he was in the same head space as Slipper. Actually that reminds me - it may not have been a Tah decission to take both of them. Seem to recall Reds playing shenanigans and not wanting...

He also needed a stable and supportive club to support him through some tough times. Would Waratahs be such a club?

Slipper might not be light but he is definitely mobile. I think completely capable of playing a link man in the pods for centers wanting to get busy.

If Petaia has the ability to match Jock's organisation at the back, then we are in a seriously good place. Still I want to see Campbell make 15 his and for the selectors to give him that chance.

Hegarty has been fantastic and has brought experience that was desperately required. That said at this stage he fills back up slots without being a preferred starter. Lucas does not make the back three other than as part of a process that is building him for 10. And whatever that process...

Not too bad.

Dan just hit a nadir.

Back from the game and took time to watch the broadcast. Biggest difference for me between being there and watching on TV was the back 3, especially Jock Campbell who was simply awesome. Positional play in D and attack, supporting lines, looking for the ball when he could, but mostly...

Rebels gain a bit of balls in the last 5.
