Reds 2014

Who does that leave to play scrumhalf against the tahs then?

kerevi? He'd get more ball.

 

[tranquility]

Let Benny Lucas be the back up 9, and bring Kurindrani / Gunn / Greene into the squad.

 

[Tangawizi]

Off topic but can anyone tell me when Ian prior joined he reds squad? I know he made is debut in 2011 but was he with the squad in 2010?

Don't think officially unless he was in the academy. Reds still had Kingi as backup 9 in 2010.

15 Turner
14 Davies
13 Kerevi
12 Tapuai
11 Kurindrani

I think he was only ever reds academy and that was 2011.

Yep, Prior only joined the Reds for 2011

Thanks guys was working on abit of a theory involving prior doesn't really work now oh well.

If your true to life form is anything like your behaviour on here then you're no where near annoying or lippy enough to play 9.

Sounds like Gale is a dark horse for 9 in this upcoming match - what's the wraps on this kid?

 

[Scoey]

I don't know much about scrum halves (by choice) but I did like what I saw of him against the Force. His passing seemed accurate to me and out in front of the receiver. Didn't seemed overawed by his debut either.

 

[USARugger]

I hope Kerevi is alright for this weekend, had his whole left leg wrapped up during training this week - looked like he might be in a bit of discomfort too.

 

[Train Without a Station]

Probably cramp from running so many metres.

 

[Jets]

What a way to finish the season for the Reds. I know the injuries played a part but they just have very little structure. The fact our attack seemed to be based off giving the ball to Kerevi was a bit strange, it's the poor guys second start.

Tualagi also does nothing for me as a player. His defence is flawed and he's out of position a lot. He looses the ball in contact and seems to drop it a bit too. He needs to have a massive off season and work on the basics if he's to become a Super rugby player.

Losing Lucas and Tapuai in the first 15 minutes derailed any chance of some structured attack..

Harris doesn't have a great pass and I don't think that Johnson fellow is much of a ball player either.

Ok with 2014 over.

In my view, the best players for the Reds this season were

3/ Slipper
2/ Hanson
1/ Shatz

 

[RugbyReg]

3 Slipper
2 Beau
1 Horwill

 

[Ignoto]

Did Kev look skinnier to anyone last night? The GF mentioned to me that he looked slimmer especially since his time at the Wallabies? It'd explain the increase of his mobility and work rate around the park picking up.

3 - Slipper
2 - Davies (personally I think his involvement was great and was constantly working especially given the lack of opportunities)
1 - Beau

 

[Ruggo]

Slipper is something special in my view. We have had some great debates about work rate vs set piece regarding our props but this bloke gives both to a high level. Proven both at Super Rugby and test level might I add.

 

[Train Without a Station]

Slipper
Beau
Davies
Horwill
Simmons
Harris

I think these 6 have been great all season. Would mention Kerevi and Browning if they played more.
