Good old fashioned shellacking- brothers front row lets them down again

Isn’t Monoley normally a LHP? Making him THP clearly backfired. Assume Christian was injured?

Great effort Uni forwards just a Herculean effort we’ll supported by speedy skilful backs

Other than the try he scored against Brothers last year in the dying minutes of the semi final that got UQ into the GF. That’s from a UQ perspective obviously…..

Actually thought Creighton looked good at 10, hopefully the Reds handle his development there. Has been a bit of a jack of all trades, which can be an issue with not playing enough of one position regularly. Would like to see how he goes with game time at 10.

The Zander at THP is very interesting. He’s clearly struggling there at club level, never played there in Super Rugby. Uni have a great scrummager at THP on the bench. You’d have to think it’s some favour for the Reds to be keeping Zander there. I’ll be turning the tv off next year if he ever starts at 3 for the Reds.

So, now the dust has settled on the games, I think Easts have the most teams in GFs across colts, grades and womens?
Brothers nearly had a shot at the Sunday ‘big 3’ - Colts 1, 1sts and 2nds but only 2nds have made it through.

Tbh he didn't do a lot ,seems to avoid the breakdown an awful lot.

Can seagull but charged like a wounded bull all day
Must have watched a different game. Saw him in a lot of breakdowns doing some powerful clear out work. He does hang wide too. He basically became brothers only attack option

All good watched the same game, more impressed with the effort of the gps 8 last week than what Wilson has displayed.

they play different sides of the scrum

I agree on Zander. UQ scrum was soundly beaten by Wests and was again getting beaten until Christian went off yesterday. You would expect Zander would strengthen the scrum as a quality Reds player. In a Reds jersey he scrums well. He was stronger in club rugby when playing for Norths. Alex Davies made a huge impact when he came on - don't understand why UQ are so happy to drop off him whenever they get a ring in, he seems like a quality prop. No doubt this weekend Wests will be focusing on the UQ scrum in a big way. Will be a great contest to watch.

considering Zander plays both sides of the scrum, this statement can't be correct.

He's scrummaged better for the Reds because he's played loosehead.
Zander might not be a world beater for the Reds but at least he's a serviceable front rower when playing his preferred position.
The whole narrative around his mid-season move to UQ, playing the opposite side of the scrum and keeping Davies on the bench is confusing. But regardless, UQ will probably still win the Premiership.

Since Zander arrived at UQ he has only played THP. Davies is a LHP.
Zander played his schoolboy, Norths and Reds roles predominately as a LHP. For some reason he has been transitioning to THP and using the UQ time under Luke Oxford to develop / improve his ability.
It has the hallmarks of a Reds request all over it from the outside looking in. Or maybe it is just Dane trying to improve his options?
Reds are looking for a back up to TT.
Faeo has moved on, Hoopert is a LHP, Nongorr hasn't been startling in his limited opportunities, George Francis wont get fit enough.
