dont know i was surprised at how small the LHP for the Rebels was, Uelese is a former back row the THP (No 26 !) he is a giant so could have been a whole pack in under age teams.

Sage thebreakdown's stab stays the same because Moseley did play, his reasons were opposite to mine.Don't think I can allow this one thebreakdownnot with 32 mins of the game done.

I think McGreggor stands out as 10 , he seems the only genuine 5/8 but 9s from every team have all put their hands up. Strange was also impressive as a 10

No I think Stewart at the moment pips him at the post. That said I think McGregor will be there as I think the halves will be nucifora and strang

You're right Silverado, he is the only thinking 10 at the moment but also he has the whole package that the other 10's don't have.

I think he's a 12 doing a great job filling in at 10. His kicking game just lets him down but he's got a real future and will be one of the first picked next year

Maybe but the backline at times was disjointed; this coming weekends game (as will the next weeks against the rebels) will see if we have done him a disservice.

I disagree with you Sage, McGreggor is a much better distributor of the ball. Have a look at the footage. The quality ball the backline received got the ball wide and we saw some exiting running rugby a bit like the Safa's and the kiwi's are playing.

Yes against a deprived and somewhat deflated opposition he did look good. Against qld that wasn't so much the case and the pressure of that game he wasn't able to control the game as well.
What do u think will happen when they play the young English welsh or kiwis for that matter;?do u think the pressure will be lesser?
Still on Stewart at this stage; his positional kicking game has been the best and started to see glimpses of his distribution last week. In test match rugby, safety is first then the flarey stuff.
Some of that wide passing was done by the 12 & 14, so it wasn't all mcgreggor. I won't take away that he had a good game, but want to see the pressure on him again before he gets my no 1 spot.

Rebels recruited well, 9 and 19 Goddard and McGregor from nsw and they signed Maddox from last year who is playing up. Qld followers can fill you in on their exports. I believe the Force is much more local which might be reflective in the results but good luck to them if they choose to showcase their own.

Yeah maybe; but I think u have to pick him where he's playing first; if mcgreggor ends up being the best, then maybe look at him as a 12 or a reserve 10

Tupou is a Queenslander two I think, but he's actually on a Development contract rather than just down for U20s I think.

4 manny meafou-Latu - brothers
7 jack Farrell -Souths
14 Hayden sergeant - bond Uni
15 semisi tupou - Nudgee college

Agree Stewart is good but he's playing with a very dominant forward pack. McGregor coming of a season ending ACL injury for NSW in trial last year and was a bit rusty against Reds. He's been there before as an Australian Schoolboy for 2 years 1 as captain. That's not a total endorsement for future success but he's played at a high level. 2 more games to go and he has to perform in those, but I just like the way he gets things done. Gen Blue would have been a tough task if we didn't lose him.
Sorry, Reece Hewitt was captain the second year

Again I agree with what your saying Silverado. However think back to those test matches in 2015; McGregor was in the first team and Stewart was in the ba ba's.
For mine (and for whatever reason or whatever happened, as I don't know, it's just one of those rugby quirks) the ba ba side had a much superior results and played better as a team. Why I don't know, but McGregor didn't have time and didn't have the scope that he enjoys today. Stewart did play better and directed better imho. And I think that still holds today and I have to follow the rugby quirk; either way a Scotsman descendent will hold the position
