LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) was on 600 - same as his new contract. So I suggest that frees up 300k at the Reds. But a few guys in that 2022 list will need upgrades to keep them - not much, but spread out.

Toulouse which is his existing team. But close!

Tough to have faith when the run on team is weaker then the non selected XV. Not all controllable of course but still tough.

If you did it on a non-selected basis I'd go 1. Gibbon 2. Uelese 3. Faaumausili 4. Hosea 5. RHP 6. Kemeny 8. Leota 7. Hardwick 9. Sorovi 10. Hodge 11. Anderson 12. Ili 13. Skelton 14. Kellaway 15. Worth

Melbourne speak for GPS - though 6/12 are coed

Vunivalu is on great money and you would think they would want to reduce it, however with Koroibete gone they should have extra wing money available and they really can't lose both!

I just wonder where they reinvested the money that MK and Naisarani were getting. Hundreds of thousands - what epic players got big increases in their new contracts? Which strong players were brought in as replacements?

2 is a stretch. Arnold is new worlds highest on 1.5. Tupou could attract similar. Talk is Aus rugby will offer a 5 year/1 mil per year deal. Covers both 2023 and 2027 WC. Difference in salary covered by allowing him TWO sabbaticals in Japan (Vs Hooper who got 1). That would mean locked to play...

rebels struggling IMO with a popgun 4-8. Philip and RHP are not dominant locks in tight, and wallis/wells/wilkins has to be one of the smallest backrow combos in professional rugby. Yes they are missing Hosea and Leota - but I would be pulling out the stops and giving some big new islander...

I think the Reds should focus on going as well as possible in 2022 and let 2023 be 2023s problem.

Definitely getting rid of the ball - but call that..passing? Can he actualyl execute a spiral pass i wonder

Because I don't think he has the ability.

I think it would be pretty wild to expect Lolesio to overtake Cooper and JOC (James O'Connor) in that time frame.

I think it'll end up being Halved PLUS picking 3 that do not meet that. So you can have your Quade, Kerevi & Koroibete (all over 35tests) PLUS have Arnold, Skelton and Latu --- boom bam pow. Leave it there.

You can always call up injury replacements, so yes it would make sense if they pull from this pool. However you'd be worried about the quality. If Mafi is out for a while and Asiati for the season, you'd be looking elsewhere for an injury joker as Nasser, and whoever non contracted who is below...

Poolman is ex Kings. 195cm, signed into the top tier of the WF academy (a group of 9/25). Signed as a playmaking 10/15 at the senior level. With that sort of size and playmaking background, sounds like a great 15 option for the future.

No Wilson Blyth or Faifua - perhaps more opportunity for Vest to get exposure here if those 2 are on injury layoffs.

I Agree, rebels tahs brumbies and reds do it pretty well But Western Force stuff it up a bit as they should be Black and Gold - never blue. Fiji is too blue heavy on the main strip- they have a bit of tropical green and their away strip is white. But Moana Pacifika literally means...

I'd think that Strachan and McGregor are the FB options

Already got enough kids and can't afford a current dominant starter.
