Liam Wright too?Given Henry and Petaia are made of glass, so much so, that you'd almost count on them not being available. With that in mind it makes sense to have an over abundance of outside backs

Vunivalu will only leave if he can get a good offer, still under contract. Didn't know about Grealy, makes sense if he is chasing a 15 jersey.Grealy signed with the Force and Vunivalu appears on the outer. Despite my post above there have been regular reports Petaia won’t at the Reds next year. That would leave us only Daugunu, Campbell and Ryan as specialist back three players. Anderson gives us depth with Super Rugby experience. Might prove only to be a place holder but seems a good signing in terms of squad depth.
Don’t forget we’ve also got Nick Bloomfield and Trevor King from 20s coming through. Both have big futuresSo where is our prop depth/stocks with Ravai gone?
We’ve added Gibbon… is there any further rebels to make a play on? How about schoolboy rugby - any names worth watching?
Guess that explains the hoarding of blokes who can play 6!Liam Wright too?
Anderson is a solid signing. Mason had the best hands and was the kicker on the field yesterday. Strange comment.Anderson is a wasted contract according to most “experts” - whether it’s the back or the forward.
Based on today’s club game, don’t think the Reds will be signing Mason Gordon either.
Grealy only offered an extended squad contact. A kick in the teeth really.Vunivalu will only leave if he can get a good offer, still under contract. Didn't know about Grealy, makes sense if he is chasing a 15 jersey.
That's a raw deal, Tim Ryan deservedly received plenty of accolades this year but Grealy was a very safe and consistent presence on the other wing.Grealy only offered an extended squad contact. A kick in the teeth really.

I'm really surprised by that stat - he's clearly a good player
Grealy has played 29 Super Rugby matches, started 15 of them, averages 46min per game across the 29.Of those 29 matches, how many has Mac started? Prior to the last year or two, he was coming on with 20-10 minutes of a game left.
Bloody harsh on a young kid.
Anyway, he scored against the Welsh, so moot point.
Bit of a log jam out wide now - can see why the kid would move on. If Petaia doesn't leave I think he's pretty clearly not in the 23.Of those 29 matches, how many has Mac started? Prior to the last year or two, he was coming on with 20-10 minutes of a game left.

Well, if we look at stats alone, you can clearly see how skewed it is.Grealy has played 29 Super Rugby matches, started 15 of them, averages 46min per game across the 29.
Sorry, what's harsh? The stat is the stat
half a game per match. He should have 5+ tries easily.He's effectively played half a game of rugby across those 29 matches. On the wing.
I'm not expecting any tries.Well, if we look at stats alone, you can clearly see how skewed it is.

How many tries are you expecting him to have scored?
In 2016 Marcel Brache scored his first try for Western Force after 32 games, he played the majority on the wing (some at 13).I'm not expecting any tries.
I'm asking if there are any other Super Rugby wingers with 29 caps who haven't scored a try?
