I don't really know why people thought we would be better this year, we have not really upgraded our player talent so Do you think a change in coach would help us beat NZ opposition? They are simply too good for our teams.

I am hoping Zander can become a Ben Daley, not the greatest prop ever, but reliable and does his job.

No, I just don't think he is as good as Fluke and Henry, he is next best in the squad so he gets to be on the bench.

Could it be as simple as stopping his off field indiscretions leading to improved on field performances? It is hard to coach someone who may participate in recreational activities that are detrimental to on field performances.

Henry / Flook for me, Paisami off the bench.

imagine the pressure when people now announce him as a dark horse for a world cup spot. you know this will be too hard for the media to resist given his heritage

EPL rights will be interesting next time around, Stan sports have quite a channel now and EPL would go well with the Euro football.

I think the problem with that in 2023 is that you would get complaints about only identifying 2 genders. That being said, I would like for their to be separate designs.

Downhill since they dropped the red shirts, red shirt and shorts was the best one.

Just to clarify, I cant see us in the top 6, I am thinking 8-10th spot at season end

I wouldn't, I am not overly confident that we will have a truly successful season so I think we should look at playing JOC (James O'Connor) from the bench and letting Creighton and Lynagh get some decent minutes on the field. If it is not working then JOC (James O'Connor) can come on early but I think issues arise when backups...

My only changes would be dropping Vunivalu, seems like a waste on the bench as he only seems to be a winger at this stage. I would either have Daugunu or Vunivalu start at 14 and move Flook into 13 with Paisami on the bench.

Converts have a habit of getting hamstring injuries, maybe it is the kicking??

Dont they use the super materials to be good environmental citizens, I think last year they were 100% recycled materials. I agree, we need plain old cotton

https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/sport/rugby-union/vunivalu-s-last-chance-jones-singles-out-forgotten-winger-20230201-p5ch34.html This is quite interesting, but maybe should be read with a grain of salt as he was speaking in Brisbane.

I would definitely have Dauganu in the 15, and if Vunivalu doesn't start, I would drop him from the squad as I dont see him as a bench option as he has only played at wing.

I will advocate for it. Here is my partial team, I know I am the only one who would want to see it on the field but I am just picking players I enjoy watching, this is not a team I think will be selected although last season my team of favourites was pretty damn close. I have not tried to...

I think he is trying to prove he has more to his game than just running and tackling hard. I preferred it when he just tried the very occasional surprise cut out pass or kick behind the defence, it worked because it was a surprise (and his talent) but he started to over do it.

I am torn on this one, Thor is my favourite player and I think he is awesome, but I often think he has plenty of improvement left in him. I feel he has peaked at the Reds (I think other Reds have also peaked but have improvement left) and as a Wallabies fan I wonder if he should go somewhere...
