Paisami and Henry out for season I have heard. Would have been good to see them both in the team obviously. I have some questions surrounding the conditioning and physios. I suppose the money isn’t as good as the NRL but we could always send players to America like they do in the NRL. Again, we...

Stupid comment were you drunk? Henry was in everything. I can list his mistakes on one hand since he started as a reds player. I agree Zander has underperformed and shouldn’t be in the 23, but saying that bull about Henry is ridiculous. He is coming back from injury and I don’t recall him making...

Australia A would be fine in my opinion as it is a step up, but after half a season of super rugby and being so young I think it would be stupid to put him in the wallabies squad. Bolter for World Cup though

Exactly why I’m glad Lynagh wasn’t picked in the squad. You only need to look at JOC (James O'Connor) to see why we should give them a year or two more to get established before blooding them.

After one game? That’s excellent thinking…

How ridiculous. Coming back from a broken hand and making a couple of mistakes that others make all the time and you want him out of the team? JOC (James O'Connor) made more mistakes and there were other worse performances, should we just get rid of all of those who had games below their average?

I’d eliminate Vunivalu, Nonggorr and Lynagh and think about starting White at 9. But other than that I’d mostly agree.

Still is, I feel like they are trying to somehow keep JOC (James O'Connor) on ice. I doubt Henry would have done any kicking during the week but he did get better with the other kicks. He also went to 10 when JOC (James O'Connor) went off, so maybe it was premeditated, I have no idea. I think when it comes down to it, 3 things...

I don’t know but he hasn’t kicked in months so no matter how good he is, why would JOC (James O'Connor) sub out only to sub in again?

I feel like Henry must have been handed kicking duties last minute, he is usually very good.

I can’t wait to see all the union players trying to sign with the NRL or who move overseas. I happen to know multiple players who are incredibly pissed off at the $1.6 mil deal so it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

To quote Brandon Smith, “a 1.6 million dollar winger isn’t going to help you beat the all blacks”. I will add here that Rugby Australia is currently the laughing stock of the NRL, who we can all agree has us beat at this point.

It was a father, and people can laugh all they want but they obviously don’t know anything from the inside and how this deal has made the players feel. Also the public clearly disagrees with this thread, so it will be interesting to see if we will actually get bigger crowds and viewing numbers...

Is that on the players, because as I see it it’s more on the coaches and Rugby Australia. By the comments on Facebook and general outrage I’m hearing chatting to people you blokes seem to have the minority opinion on this $1.6 million deal.

Well I heard it from a parent of a player so it is a fact. So I pick both.

I heard today that the existing players are not at all happy about the 1.6 million deal. I wouldn’t be surprised if we lost a lot to overseas. They can make much more money overseas than the pay cuts they have had during covid and just generally ridiculously lower pay. Just stating facts, don’t...

I don’t understand a lot of the kicking possession away tonight by JOC (James O'Connor) etc. we kept giving them balls directly to them and they would work it up to half way pretty easily. I noticed less of this in the second half, but I don’t understand why we don’t back our forwards and strong runners like we...

They brought him back too soon after a concussion. Henry should have started 100% and there would have been better continuity. Hunter has had two or three head knocks in recent times and should be resting for as long as possible. Granted, Henry was out with the broken hand, but we need to take...

So he has brought as much revenue or more so than it cost to get him? I’d have to disagree.

Like Vunivalu?
