Reds 2018

What do people think about Tui playing 6?
Is this a prelude to a long term move, or only a stop-gap measure due to no Higginbotham or Smith?

Is this Thorn trying to get Tui a Wallabies Jersey?

I think it is a tactic to smash the tahs smaller pack. Duggo and Rodda have been playing really well.

Zero_Cool... think this might also be a strategic move with even Tongan Thor out as well... Like Jimmy Crouch alluded too Tahs have a smaller pack and with the loss of Thor and Higgers theres gonna be a big problem with our forward ball runners.

Tui, Rodda & Douglas is some big ball runners. The Reds are going to be missing the running ability of Tongan Thor so getting another massive frame into the lineup to provide the dragging bodies yards is much needed (Ruan Smith and his brother JP Smith aren't exactly ya ball running props)

Yeah I was surprised they didn't pluck Mr 'Best 5th Prop In Super Rugby' Fa’agase to start, although even then you'd still not get much ball running. Whereas Ruan is at least capable of getting over the ball.

Dude, heaps of people have been talking about Tui being a Wallaby 6 since like June Tests last year. That's hardly conclusive evidence. But regardless I'm not, I don't post on /r/rugby.

Has anyone seen the Number 10 for Souths play so far in the QLD 2018 Hospital Challenge Cup , Future Reds Fly half for sure.... His name is Quade Someone....

I still maintain that we shouldn't get overly excited or upset about away performances.

Rookie team. Rookie coach. That's a bridge too far for that makeup.

Away wins are hard in super rugby at the best of times - pretty much only the top 4 teams in each year seem to be able to achieve it consistently.

The only thing we can truly judge them on this year is their home ground performances tbh.

Away game will just be a lottery.

^^^and that's the difference between the Reds philosophy and the NZ philosophy - they play to win home and away
