It’s ultimately good for Aus rugby but sucks as a reds supporter. This is alignment I guess.

Can Ben Vunivola play 15? With Jock getting taken out by a sniper during Super Rugby AU, I'd be saying we need to ensure we've got adequate coverage for him before releasing players.
I know we have Murray, but he's either not been fit or Les has shown Murray is down the pecking list.

HMP has reacted hastily. Gordon arriving has pushed him back from 2 to 3 poll. Lynagh has had a run of injuries and it’s unknown if issues continue. I’d be hedging my bets in Queensland rather than NSW.
At the Tahs he will be further down the pecking order but he probably has more chance of gaining if he improves. Joey Fowler is my bet for the player who will end up with the jersey long term and then there is Bowen. Debreczeni and Creighton more established than HMP currently. Whispers that Will Harrison returning home at some point.

Volavola's signing has made this equation tougher for HMP
Awesome signing and welcome home Carter. Good vision having him and Lynagh working together covering the 10 jersey. This should be the Wallabies 10 & 22.Looks like Gordon is a done deal, to be announced on Monday:

Outside back and can cover 10. A lot can happen in a season. I haven’t seen Volavola play in years.

He’s a 10 who can just cover 15 at stretch. Last game at 15 was 21/22 other than that he’s been a bench 10.
He’s 34 and a break glass in case of emergency. He’s not going to equal more wins for the Reds.

He might prevent losses though if we have a couple of injuries. Especially if McLaughlin-Phillips does go.

Likely no. I’d guess HMP would have played more footy as well in the last couple years.
Old head but shouldn’t stress too much. Gonna was in that role last year and it didn’t cost the Reds the season.

He was behind Pollard and probably on par with Shillcock. Volavola will bring a mature head and experience. This will be better for Gordon and Lynagh.

He's a bench 10 option these days (although still a good one - on the bench for Leicester in prem finals 4 months ago)
90% of his games have been at 10 and he hasn't gotten quicker with age
