Reds 2022

Wonder if the Tahs were chasing Frost at all. Surely would have been a great pick up for them.

Aware this isn't reds related but continuing on from original discussion re LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto), Hockings

I know shit has gone down with the Picone 3 (Rodda, Hockings and Lucas), and wonder if Cordingley and Thorn would bite their pride and keep the doors open? Big ask but we really need a big lock. If there’s chatter about Hockings wanting to return, then I hope communication is open. Rodda was the star of Super Rugby AU on the weekend and was the force (excuse the pun) behind the team’s start in 2022. Not sure where Hocking’s skills are at, but I’m sure there has been improvement and it’s a position we need great improvement.
That brings me to Carter Gordon. The Rebels have dropped him to the bench this week, so maybe there’s some unrest in Melbourne. The kid should not have left and continued his development with patience. JOC (James O'Connor) is not our answer at flyhalf and will never be. We have signed Lynagh with a good show against the Force for 20 mins, but the next game in Roma was a different showing. He’s still some time off. Gordon is a talented flyhalf with more vision and potential that any other in AU. His contract is up at the end of 2022 (confirmed). Do we bring him home even though he left unfavourably? We know JOC (James O'Connor) isn’t sticking around after 2023, and from what I’m seeing he is already behind the pack.

If you want to get a 10 back get Lucas, saw him play in the Top league earlier this year and he was incredibly good on that day.

It's been a long time since I've seen Thorn eat crow. Never, come to think of it. What chance he has matured?

Gordon may or may not be the answer. Perhaps his brother is better?

NSW Waratah have excess 10s.
Why not go after Harrison, Edmed or Donaldson before they end up overseas?

Nah. I like Lucas as a utility back but not as specialist flyhalf. I think we are pretty jammed on utility backs right now. We’ve got Campbell, Stewart, Flook, Grealy, Petaia, Henry and apparently Creighton

Played very well in the game I watched. Admittedly that maybe an outlier
