Reds 2017

[upthereds#!]

yeh it'd be if DP suits up at 10 and KH to 12, then Maranta is around. doubtful but have to be prepared for any eventuality

 

[Scrubber2050]

McIntyre has been on the bench, obviously as cover for Cooper.

Why would anyone really think he would not now be the starting 10 ?

If so, I can only hope he is a lot better than last year.

 

[Scoey]

Jake will be the replacement 10 but then we need someone to replace Jake on the bench. As our other backup 10's play 12 and 15 currently, Maranta could be a bench option in case one of Jake, Duncan or K go down.

At least I think that's what everyone is talking about Scrubber.

 

[Simon.]

Yeah we're talking about what happens if Jake goes down mid-game. Obviously Jake will start, Stiles has already said that.

I did read one article which said Taefu is with the touring squad though, in which case Maranta may just be cover in case someone goes down in the warmup etc. So the two options would appear to be:

1) 22 Taefu and 23 Kuridrani, with DP covering 10 and Taefu going to 12 if Jake goes down

2) 22 Maranta and 23 Kuridrani, with DP going to 10, Hunt to 12 and Maranta to 15

I guess the third option would be 6/2 split with Taefu or Maranta at 23 and dropping Kuridrani for an extra forward (Houston) but I think vs the Jags with their expansive play they'll want the extra back.

 

[Ignoto]

If Jake does go down early on, it wouldn't surprise me if Frisby moves to 10 and Tuttle to 9. Wouldn't be the first time we've relied on the double halfback pairing when our Flyhalf stocks were busted!

 

[Simon.]

I'd hope it would be a last resort for Frisby to go to 10... The poor bloke is having a hard enough time in his primary position at the moment.

 

[Jeeper]

Bobby Tuttle goes alright at 10 too.

 

[Brumby Jack]

Quade spins up a 3 on the SANZAAR wheel of misfotune.

Originally 6 then got a 3 week discount, which is very generous from SANZAAR.

 

[Simon.]

Part of me wishes he got the full 6. He'll be back there before the end of the season for sure. :/

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Seems excessive in comparison to Luatua & Sanchez, even allowing for his previous.

 

[Strewthcobber]

With respect to sanction the Judicial Committee deemed the act of foul play merited a mid range entry point of 6 weeks. However, taking into account mitigating factors including the Player's admission of guilt, his remorse and the fact that the Player had a good disciplinary record having not come under notice since 2012, the Judicial Committee reduced the suspension to 3 weeks.

 

[Tangawizi]

So he'll miss the Jaguares, Hurricanes & Brumbies. On current form we'd struggle to win any of them even with Quade.

Do you WOB? I actually pretty surprised he got less than 4 weeks with his record.

 

[Scoey]

He has received a few yellow cards before but apparently hasn't been before the judiciary since 2012. That's basically the extent of his 'record' which is 5 years squeaky clean.
He's certainly not the Dylan Hartley a few people are painting him as.

 

[Marcelo]

This is the last opportunity for the Reds to get back into the race. A test of character, at away without their captain and their starting fly-half. Against a Tier 1 national team, a very good side but not at the level of NZ franchises, they have more weak points than all of them.

It's now or the next season!

 

[TOCC]

What garbage, hoe does TJ Perenara escape with only a Yellow Card and no ban, despite a clear head high tackle which left Fletcher Smith on the ground for a few minutes and was eventually taken from the field, but Quade gets a red and 3 match ban for the exact same thing .. SANZAAR judiciary system is an utter joke

Don't get me wrong Scoey, I not saying he a dirty player, just vthat he has had a few cards for his tackling technique, both head high and tip tackles, so I thought they may not have been so lenient. I inferring he should of got more, but was surprised they figured after 4-5 years your old acts no longer count. Fair enough if that's the way it works too!

Yellow cards don't impact your judiciary record.

The last suspension was in 2012 for a high tackle on Berrick Barnes.

No I didn't think that's what you were saying Dan, all good. My Dylan Hartley comment was tongue in cheek.

He definitely has form for some crappy tackles but as far as his record goes, they don't count.

It shows how far we've come in 5 years. That tackle on Berrick was much worse IMO. The commentators were fairly non-plussed, he received a YC plus a white card (on report) and was suspended for 1 week.
