Surely with Genia gone hes our 1st choice Halfback? if our halves for next season are 9. Scott Gale 10. Nick Frisby we are fucked.
if our halves are 9. Frisby 10. Paia'aua we are fucked. we need to buy a flyhalf cause i dont think there is anyone who can step up.

Is Lilo available? Prob not but can't recall his name among he many the Brumbies have managed to hang onto.
Without at least one experienced half the Reds are fucked for a couple of years, pretty much regardless of the coach. Sorry but until Frisby has started a season or two he doesn't count as experienced. And no, I don't think he should start over Genia to get experience.

I recall similar sentiments surrounding Genia and QC (Quade Cooper) when Barnes left. Worked out alright for a while.

When Barnes left Genia and QC (Quade Cooper) were Wallabies weren't they? Frisby and Paia'aua are a long way from being comparable.

I thought Gill was better than Hooper and I have a bad memory but didn't Hooper only get a shot because Gill was so good he captained the U20's anddid this instead of being a bench player for the Wallabies. Hooper got a run and kept his spot.
If Gill had knocked back the U20 spot he probably would have stayed in the Wallabies.
I have big issues with the 60 cap limit, I would rather a 100 cap Super Rugby mark, this way if you are a great player like Gill who happens to come along at the wrong time you can still get some leniency, if you play 100 super rugby games you have shown you are dedicated to the idea of representing your country.

I think Frisby gets a lot of unwarranted bad mouthing.
He played U20's for Australia and has a lot of talent, give him a shot at a permanent spot and I am certain he will be great.

Frisby has Huge Talent. But hes a scrumhalf and he doesnt have any good partners, or alternatively we play him at flyhalf where he still doesnt have any good partners. My question is, are there any options? the options i can find are Berrick barnes, Zack Holmes, Bryce Hegarty, Jono Lance or if one of Jake Macintyre, Duncan Paia'aua, James Dalgleish can step up. Is there someone i cant think of that would be able to do a good job?

Who is bad mouthing? Criticism about his play at 10 is fair but people always caveat that by pointing out he shouldn't be playing there. Very different to bad mouthing. When most thought he was the future wallaby about to leave people were quite unimpressed. There is a big difference between expressing concern that he will be the most experienced half and bad mouthing.

Awesome news. Is he playing Colts still or is he now in Prem Grade?

Unfortunately Jacks signed for 2016 so thats not currently an option.

Nah, Hooper got a shot because he was killing it with the Brumbies in 2012, and was the form 7..........
Gill went to captain the U20's because he wasn't needed for the Wallabies (although very much needed at the U20's).
