I am hoping a few said no, for now. Waiting to see who the coach is. Considering how few have formally announced as departing/having new homes - this is possible Uelese, Mafi, Canham, Gordon, Kellaway & Daugunu have confirmed homes at this stage I believe.

Thought Leota was wanted mainly at Tahs, not Reds. Probably one of the guys waiting to see who is coach before committing. They would be desperate for a 6 after losing Hanigan AND Swinton and now potentially Holloway. I can only see them releasing Holloway IF they get both LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) and Leota.

Think Reds were ready to lose EITHER Petaia or Campbell. If it is Campbell AND Petaia, then it leaves only Grealy as a FB option

There was a report another senior waratahs wanted a release, because yes he is contracted for 2025. I guessed it was Holloway, and he then wasn't asked to train on - now this. So guess I was right (annoyingly, I like him)

Yep - thanks for ruining my day. dang.

Higginbotham had a Reds/Japan combo deal. We should use them more. Short term pain, long term gain.

Just looking at those off contract this year and how they make room without changes to the squad size allowance/how the reds offer him what he would be worth when those extra players are coming in. It's less about 'letting' Wright go, and more about, what can we offer someone of his value to the...

Yes I did mean Reds > League in SE qld > Waratahs And yes he took a pay cut. Sure he will have Japan, League (if successfull) and Rugby union offers for 2027. But if he doesn't do well in league, his value in both our codes will drop

Gordon wanted Reds > League > Waratahs - but Reds couldn't/wouldn't take him so byebye. Shame.

Daly and Roiri are locks and won't be retained. I imagine Anderson won't be retained either (maybe Wright also) shifting Uru back to loose forwards. Locks: LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) Canham Smith Blyth Backrow: Wilson, Uru, Brial, Bryant, Mcreight, + hopefully Wright.

I still hope he goes to the Brumbies. With Tua leaving, they need a 12!

Was a hooker picked from Tahs or Force in that training squad? If not, who will be the 3 hookers - Faessler, Uelese andddd?

Swain is going to the Force so he will likely be picked

I love Liam Wright, and I am not disparaging his performance, but using it as an example. Liam Wright is not an international 6 and people have been calling for his inclusion there. I have been saying he is the backup 7. Same as Uru isn't a lock. Last night was a bit of a boys v men look...

Smith, Blyth, LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) & Vest + Maybe Canham. I wonder if Daly will go back to NSW.

Well alreayd getting Swain, so focus should be on keeping Rodda. That will be a net gain. Leota would be a key pickup. Though I wouldn't hate. 4. Swain 5. Rodda 6. Williams 8. Ekuasi 7. Tizzano 19. Carter 20. Harris

Leaving out the leavers it seems. Swinton has been in great form and brings good starch but oky doky moving on. Holloway omission from a wider training squad surprises me, but perhaps he is the other senior player seeking to get out of his contract being disenfranchised (I read something along...

I am incorrect. Thank you! Kailea is young, promising and was a brisbane based club player at least I believe?
