I didn't see too many pies on Taniela's IG over the break, but there were plenty of pigs being roasted over a fire!

I'd have thought with the Reds having a bye in the first round, that they'd put on their premier side for this trial to get combinations working, along with match fitness.
Unless Thorn sees this as his best team
it's basically is. JP SMith is injured (back next week) and Rodda has been asked to rest again (by RA).

Jack Hardy was a nice little surprise in the last game.
he's very good, but how would your team line up with him in 23? A big name / established player is going to miss out.

It’s one of those selections I find frustrating- admittedly in the complete absence of knowledge of form. But there is a trend here that suggest the style of game Thorn wants. Stewart hand made to the 10 he wants, Kerevi over DP at 12.
I’ll be watching closely but I do expect more of the sort of rugby I like to watch to come from Rebels and Waratahs - all to be proven of course.

Thorn should go with
9. Sorovi
10. Stewart
12. Kerevi
13. Petaia
as his midfield long term, and let them forge a combination.

Always better then looking pretty and losing.
happy with that but think McDermott is the better option at 9.
normally is but they probably won't promote this until closer to the game as they want to sell tickets.

Fair enough Sully, but it does not suit all of us. Also suspect they are not the same when measured through the turnstile. Doubt I’m the only long term Reds fan keeping a close eye on ex-Reds at other franchises.
And btw, Thorn still needs to show this bit: “Win more games than we lose.” Hope he does, but I’m not bothering crossing fingers for the Thorn style.
In the mean time, we already see calls in the media for McKay to be called in to sort out the Cheika mess. Let’s hope not.
he's smart enough.

Don't forget he was treated harshly by Cheika who dumped him for Larkham.
