Reds 2017

It was a hypothetical question between Higs and Houston as they were both available options for the same position. Gill was not an available option.

I didn't bring Liam into it

Because you realised that you could never hope to be on the level of a person that was born and raised in the glorious state of Queensland, and so you went back to NSW so you could not be embarrassed

Jeez Torp, and I thought I was very parochial

does this hypothetical mean that Japan and England are included in global searches but France is not?

 

[upthereds#!]

unrelated.

 

[Scrubber2050]

Well it looks like we are bored shitless ATM
Cannot wait for the Super season to start.
Optimistic for 2017 - yes (but I am always at the start of each season)

Reds draw confirmed

Higgers had and has more natural ability in more areas than Leroy, which when harnessed properly made him a bit better player on average. But the mental stuff, attitude and what they value, how they perceive themselves as players and stage of their careers all play into what they could offer. Houston believes that he is good enough to challenge for a Wallabies position, which he is and he has been told so. It appears that he is returning a better player who is desperate to give it a crack.

Higgers language suggested that money was his priority ATM. I also have watched him play in Japan and he certainly does look like he is playing wider than ever and not really getting stuck into the tough stuff (maybe that's how NEC want to use him I don't know).

When you put all that together, I'm quite happy that we landed Leroy at the moment. Who knows though, maybe after a couple of years in Japan on big bucks the itch to play at the top level will hit Scott again

Higgers play improved when he went to the Rebels.
He was a terrific Super player.
When he got his chances at national level he just seemed o blow it.

Any idea if the Thursday game is a regular thing next year?

Apparently Higgers owns a coffee shop or two. A bit like George Gregan.

No games in Sydney next season. Sad face.

Surely an opportunity for a pre-season match.

 

[Tangawizi]

So no Cheetahs, Bulls, Sunwolves or Stormers for the Reds next season.

Not a bad draw if we're good enough to take advantage of it. Crusaders aren't often in top gear by round 3.
