The alternative was coming back for repeat infringements and possibly giving a card for it.Seems a bit like near enough is good enough for this ref, could've sworn that was held up
Replay is here - picks it up about 8min in after they'd sorted the region issuesIs there a replay available somewhere for those who missed the live stream?
Yeah I was surprised at how strong he's become in contact. He's certainly put some size onto his frame, so the gym time has paid off for him. Agree with it being a bit early for him but these tours will benefit guys like him the most!I thought Aubrey looked very sharp in the game today. Bounced out of a few tackles and showed good speed.
Still has a few in front of him I suspect but given he’s only 21 hopefully he can start really pressing for a spot this year.
IMO he's better than Kalani. More threatening to the defence at least.Werchon is talent. The speed of the attack has gone through the roof since he came on. Directing his team well.
Can take guys like him a few more years to naturally get the strength and grown man size. Could be a good thing when you maintain the speed and elusiveness because your body hasn't been lumped with 10kg on a 18yr old frame not ready for it.Yeah I was surprised at how strong he's become in contact.

Smith over Canham or at least Blyth for me. Flook at 13 daugunu on the wing and anderson at 231. Hodgman 2. Faessler 3. Nonggoor
4. Canham 5. LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto)
6. Wright 8. Wilson 7. Mcreight
9. Mcdermott 10. Lynagh 11. Ryan 12. Paisami 13. Daugunu 14. Anderson 15. Campbell
16. Nasser 17. Gibbon 18. JTA 19. Blyth 20. Uru 21. Werchon 22. HMP 23. Flook
Daugunu, Vunivalu*, Anderson, Ryan, Campbell and Mason Gordon all signed with Heremaia Murray looking likely and Flook covering from centre. Not lacking without Aubrey, though I'd like another fullback option. I wouldn't be surprised to see McLaughlin-Phillips get some game time there going forward.That's a very surprising move, had expected him to be signed. So what's the Queensland outside backs looking likely to be now?
Also have Will McCullough been brought up from academy to top squadDaugunu, Vunivalu*, Anderson, Ryan, Campbell and Mason Gordon all signed with Heremaia Murray looking likely and Flook covering from centre. Not lacking without Aubrey, though I'd like another fullback option. I wouldn't be surprised to see McLaughlin-Phillips get some game time there going forward.
Probably a starting back 3 of Daugunu, Ryan and Campbell, though I Anderson will be pushing for a shot and they might look to manage Ryan's game time across the season.
*Rumours are swirling that there's league interest in buying Vunivalu out of his contract. If they're willing to pay I imagine RA and the Reds will let him go, but it's hard to know how likely it is at this stage.
