You have signed Moses Sorovi from the Reds - he is a good, quick halfback. I would have liked to keep him in QLD but glad that he has a spot in Melbourne.

Sorovi = ease of Super standard

Sorovi much better than Kalani Thomas

It will be interesting who get the 1st crack at 21 Sorovi or Bobby Tuttle

I disagree, Sorovi is a serviceable halfback and will hold his own on the bench, but his development plateaued years ago and he has a high error rate. Kalani Thomas is only 19 but has a much higher ceiling and his form during the UQ finals run improved every game, he finished the season as the in-form half in Queensland club rugby.

Agreed, people have been very quick to write of Thomas as a failure despite the fact he's only 19.

He absolutely shouldn't be the Reds starting halfback, but luckily he has time to develop under the tutelage of McDermott.

Gee it's all happening in Melbourne ATM, isn't it? Hope all the Melburnians on here managed to dodge it all.

Don’t worry, it’s keeping me entertained in the perpetual lockdown

Adam, you’re getting a bit ahead of yourself with Thomas. Sorovi is definitely in front of him on all levels. Actually there were a few Prems (GPS x2 and Wests x2) and a couple of Colts (GPS and Brothers) halfbacks that I’d still pick over Thomas. We (Reds) we’re stupid giving up both Tuttle and Sorovi.

That’s fine to disagree, Kalanis finals form was a key reason UQ won IMO. I think the Reds have backed the right horse on this one. Time will tell.

Love reading stuff like this. It's giving me immense vicarious satisfaction to watch Quade's maturity grow. He was an easy target for a long time, but seems to be developing into a role model, rather than a fancy stepper with a flash haircut.

Ironically seems like the sort of bloke that Thorn would love

On any account, I think Tate will fly the that flag for a few more years to come.

I blame nzru…

^ was trying to think of something clever along the lines of NZR putting the squeeze on Rebs but thought better of it.

How many flankers do you need?!
6 fulltimes in: Kemeny, Leota, Lolesio, Wells, Hardwick & Wilkins
4 developing in: Haisila, Hough, Nuibalavu and Ioane

I guess it's nice to have wallis familiar with structures if Hardwick or Wilkins need replacement due to major injury.

Sione Tuipolutu is debuting for Scotland this weekend at 13. Pretty exciting stuff.

Nolan is a 2nd rower.
