He's 20 years old and has 18 appearances. Mo'unga was 22 Dan Carter made his debut when he was 21. So was Aaron Cruden. Barrett was 19 (a month from his 20th birthday).
Give him time.

This slipped my attention.
Pat Richards is now Director of Coaching at the Reds. This is a great hire.
I love how QLD/local we are becoming with building this team.
It will do massive things for QLD rugby if we keep going down this route, and not turning our back on the pathways.

OK I’m heading home to my roots. It’s time.
Thorn, do not forget “It’s not enough”. Things you have done imo need an awefull lot of proving. But I’m in, go the Red nursery.

Anyone got any more information on what this is going to look like? Is the QRU going to try and crack the public schools?

What excites me is that for 2019, the Reds finally have quality in attack coach Jim McKay and defence coach Peter Ryan.
Brad Thorn is good as a head coach in that he has the respect of the players, knows how to get maximum fitness from them, and is a great motivator.
But he does need good support assistant coaches, and finally in McKay & Ryan, he has them.
The fact that the nursery of Aussi Super teams last year has one more season of experience, and a good coaching mix, allows me to have a lot of optimism for 2019.
I'd like to believe that we could win more than 50% of our games next season, moving on to greater things in 2020.

Perese won't be playing for the Reds. Just saw him picking up a car from a Broncos sponsor with two other blokes wearing Broncos kit.

I can understand him going. He's clearly sick over uncertainty over the head coaching position....oh...hang on.

We better get a god damn severance from Broncos on the Hill.

Bill Watson (15)
yeah I get that but he might be preferable over Toua or McGahan. Particularly if he can kick at close to 90%.
He's headed back west anyway.

Certainly sounds worth consideration on that review
