I’ll throw ASY (Angus Scott-Young) and Hegarty in contention. Or possibly Vice depending on Captain selection.

I would think Rodda for certain - but throw in Mafi as my dark horse.

Liam Wright a chance. Forgot about him.

To my eye, he was very, very impressive.

Wayne Smith in the Australian reporting that Wright is the new captain.

Couple ways that cat could be skinned. You're right about Greene. It's Mcintyre I always felt for - kinda have sympathy for Mason as well. Agree with Adam84 that Gilmore is just looking out for the young 'stars' and asking people for a dose of reasonable expectation.

Interesting choice. And I believe has other ramifications with either McReight not getting a whole lot of game time this season or Wright starting at 7 and moving to blindside flanker later in the game.

How does the process work? Do you players vote and the coaches have the final say?

Wright will be entrenched as the back up No 7 to Hooper when the test matches start. If the Reds don't do all they can to keep him, he could be another Liam Gill case and head off overseas long before his time.

It was mentioned in an article last year (by Thorne or a fellow forward) the amount of respect Wright had from the players, so it wouldn't surprise me if he was captain. I can see the backrow being Wright with the other two spots rotating between, McReight, Salakaia-Loto and ASY (Angus Scott-Young) (when Fraser is on, Wright will go to blindside)

Rod McCall (65)
He is signed for another two years, not ready for the exodus club just yet, a lot can happen in 2 years
panel involving Hanham, Cordingly and Bo Hanson I think Brad too. Interview process, etc. Recommendation made, Thorn gave the final tick.

Greene was always the better player, but he got people offside for whatever reasons. Its a shame - because he is a running rugby flyhalf with an enormous boot! Something we are very short of.

I can't see how Wright being Captain or not being Captain really means anything to who will start and who won't or who'll get big minutes and who won't. He was always going to play big minutes.
As you look through the Reds this year and try and get a handle on how they'll go I can't help but thinking where the match up advantages are? Who realistically could be considered as the best of the best at their position in Super Rugby. Like top 3 in their position ? In looking at that there aren't many that currently are (Rodda???) but there are a couple like Tupuo and Petaia that have the potential to be . JOC (James O'Connor) too if the redemption journey continues. Is it enough though?
