Thank goodness we haven't just appointed the Rebel's lineout coach to the Wallabies!

Yes if Ravai is done after this season, I actually see a 'cheaper' Rebels option as a good one (I imagine Gibbon and Eloff to have higher costs). Kailea has been the regular bench prop, is Big broad body who hasn't put a foot wrong and spent time here I believe? Would like to see the Force pick up the bulk of players, they don't have a decent LHP and Medrano is just as likely to leave as Ravai.

Petaia out for the rest of the (Reds) season:
Looking at 3 months on the sideline, should hopefully be back for the rugby championship.
'It's disappointing': Petaia's Super season over - and it could end his Reds career
Jordan Petaia may have played his last match for the Reds, with the off-contract Wallabies back to miss the rest of the Super Rugby…

It might work in favour of him hanging around too? I'd imagine his value on the open market would take a hit (while still undoubtedly more than we can offer).
Its a shame BPA didn't come back.

Only issue I have with the next generation coming through Reg is, they're still built like boys coming up against Orcs. That goes for Taj, Tim and Flloyd. We're very light (both depth and weight) in the backs with Henry, Petaia, JOC (James O'Connor) and Flook all out.

Pre-season when I was crowing about our centres depth there was always a little voice saying 'what if' in respect to injuries, given the players' histories. Honestly unbelievable that it's transpired, but even still, our backline isn't looking that weak. It really highlights the usefulness of having a number of versatile backs who can plug holes as required.

JOC (James O'Connor) is done, surely?

Petaia is a loss but how many games in a row has he played? How much team cohesion has he built constantly coming in and out of the side? And all the positions he has played don’t make him an asset for the Reds when he gets injured so frequently. On his day, he can help win a game but I haven’t seen him dominate a match since he was in year 12.

- Center : 25 times ( Outside Centre 34% )
- Winger : 35 times ( Right Wing 32%, Left Wing 16% )
- Fullback : 13 times ( Fullback 18% )

Before this, he has played 70% of Reds games in past 4 seasons, not a great figure but not the worst.
I’d say he is a victim of his own talent in the way he gets shoved around positions, I think he is an excellent winger but has potential to play other positions so constantly gets shunted around

IMO - best position is fullback.

He's the ideal #23 for any team. Again, probably not what he wanted out of a career though

It's an interesting debate. His theoretical best position is fullback if you look at his athleticism, physical gifts, and talent. But somehow the player on the field has never equaled the sum of the parts when he's wearing the 15 jersey.
He seems far more comfortable on the wing to me. I feel better when Jock Campbell is at fullback for the Reds if that says anything.
Sad outcome for Petaia, hope he heals fast and comes back better than ever.
