Reds 2015

I was wondering why it was so quiet in here...and then I found the Kurtley Beale thread!

You must have been on the fucking moon

Dick Graham told the reporters at the press conference for the Thomson signing that he's after a prop (at least 1 hopefully) and an outside back.

Let's have a dig at Jerome McKenzie. The one thing we haven't really replaced from the crop that we have lost is out and out pace. McKenzie has it in spades.

Good kicker and hole runner too.

Would be a good squaddie.

He plays for Rams in NRC and Penrith in SS

Scratch that, watching the Rams stream vs Rising and he looks to have injured his ACL.

Why do we need another outside back? I think they should be after 2 props.

Because we haven't replaced all the ones we lost. A young flyer would round off the squad nicely along with two props

Update: McKenzie has fractured something, not ACL. There is still hope.

We've been back heavy for a while. I don't think we need more in our squad. I think you are better having props in a professional environment and some outside back in the academy playing club footy. It's much easier for them to transition into the main squad at short notice.

JOC (James O'Connor) starting 10 tonight for Toulon in a big clash with Toulouse. No Giteau in the 23.

Any idea what's the go with Gits? Injured or rested? Toulouse haven't been going real good have they?

Toulouse are dead last, along with Castres.

JOC (James O'Connor) is setting himself up for a tilt at 10 at the Reds.

Just found out this is on live on EuroSport at about 4am. Might be up then anyway but will be recording it in either case. Keen to see whether JOC (James O'Connor) will be our saviour or just a naughty boy! ;-)

BOOOO!!
That's why I was wondering about Gits. If he's just being rested against a bottom team then them playing JOC (James O'Connor) at 10 prob isn't as big a deal.

JOC (James O'Connor) has always been a great option to rotate in at 10 if the other playmakers get caught up, we need a change of pace, etc.

It's when he's expected to manage anyone but himself that the wheels have tended to fall off very quickly (save for two test matches against pretty weak oppositions - years ago).

 

[TOCC]

JOC (James O'Connor)'s exposure at 5/8 will help him to run better lines for when he is sitting on the Reds wing.

^^ Or it could create an expectation of entitlement with the Brand which would be a disaster for Team Red.

Listen here Reg show the man the respect he deserves! He's a test flyhalf dammit!

Nah, he doesn't deserve as much respect as Wallaby Openside Beau Robinson!
