Not sure exactly but he played u18s last yearSamson Tuqiri on the bench for the Development team is massive. He’d be under 18 wouldn’t be??
The way he waddled off I think his hamstrings or quads will be in need of a week off.Assume no one watched that Reds Development team? They went down to east’s which is interesting.
Anyway on to next week. I suspect Suli is out. Looked injured enough. I’d ditch him anyway. I’d have Jock back at 15 and Jordy on the wing.
Not sure if any other changes are needed.
One thing that really shits me with Vunivalu is when he gets beaten he doesn’t seem to make any effort to get back.
That said I thought it was actually a pretty good game for Vunivalu.
Tried to watch it (was with my 3yr old so focus wasn't the best). Reds dominated the first quarter. Scrum dominated as expected. Creighton was a cut above. Great crowd out at ballymore watching all the games. All the super coaches were watching too (NSW and QLD)Assume no one watched that Reds Development team?

I wonder if it's a bit of fear or not trusting his hammies as in chasing someone down he can see exactly how fast he has to go to get there .....But not chasing back in defence seems to be a constant and it annoys the crap out of me.

Yeah, that seemed to be when he cooked his legs. Pretty sure he came off just after that, but memory from the ground is never perfect.I saw him clutch his hammy when he turned to chase Peitch. It seems to be a constant problem for him. There just seems to be very little acceleration in him.
Depends on how they finished - that list has basically a Colts xv on the bench, wouldn't be surprised if it turned around in the second half playing men against boys.Surely the Reds Development team should be putting away a SS club? One that finished near the bottom last year too.
Nah Flook was walking fine in jeans post game festivities with his folks. With how much work he did and how hot it is, I'm not surprised his cramped up.The only other issue might be Flook who looked a bit ginger coming off. If he's out Petaia likely covers 13, but it did sound like he was ok after the game
I think that's probably more the danger of having Vunivalu and Petaia in your starting back 3, gambling on those hammies and ankles staying solid. If Harry McLaughlin-Phillips hadn't already come on he probably would've come on instead of Kalani at wing.Nah Flook was walking fine in jeans post game festivities with his folks.

It's probably does highlight the danger of having a specialist 10 as one of your three back reserves.
