Reds 2019

Losing 2 props really screwed us AAA is easily a test back up THP and does a job on the LHP. Robertson has taken his chance as LHP backup.. But we paid for losing Sio

We sure did.

THP is literally the only position we have where we have a player outside the best 23 who is good enough to start.

The problem we have had forever is a lack of depth. Our best players are very good in plenty of positions and I'd argue moreso than we've had for a number of years but we don't have a lot of depth.

For all the complaints about Cheika, I think he has pretty successfully built depth. Some of the positions we had the least depth in are looking much better like lock and hooker. Some still aren't like number 9 and 10.

Wait, when did the reds sign Cheika as a coach and all these new props?

This is now the medical school thread buddy.

Then we could have a worse player playing for the Wallabies and we'd be struggling even more.

Nonsense. Not if you would bring Slipper into the 23.

Yeah - look we have thread nazis here. I generally don't get it but this time - stuff off to the right thread.

"Media are invited to attend an opportunity tomorrow regarding a St.George Queensland Reds player signing announcement."

Reading way too much into this I am intrigued that they haven't used the word "re-signing" however this may be off-set by the words "St.George Queensland Reds player".

Obviously all Wallabies are OS so it cant be Izzy as the player will be there.
This is happening thursday morning at 10am. Will be interesting to see who

Did he travel with the team? [/fuel speculation]

Kerevi???

I saw him at the airport coming back from the Bledisloe on Sunday, surprisingly i have never come across him before either in person or playing against, was suspecting him to be a little bigger than he was (don't get me wrong still a unit of a man) although typical islander heritage looks like he is built like granite and a ball of muscle. Looked in good shape none the less.

i actually forgot he was injured. That does add to the intrigue.

I read it as a signing, rather than a re-signing.

Berrick maybe?

 

[Rebels3]

Be interesting to see.

Top league is about to kick off, so not sure if he'd make the trip.

McMahon was another i thought but same as above

Out of curiosity does this mean you are playing/have played at a decent level?

I thought the Preacher's ankle was still busted so he's still in Australia? Whether he's North of the South of the Tweed today I'm not sure.

 

[sunnyboys]

wouldnt he be a RA press call?

 

[RugbyReg]

yep, good point

A little bit of Prems, did nothing of note. Don't play anymore

 

[Bobby Sands]

How do we get Angus Crighton?

I also just saw that Kalyn Ponga wants to play for the All-Blacks

boring. And that would be a re-signing, not a signing. #pedant

haha!

Still I'd be happy if that bit of boring was added in.
