Q Anon was a sponsor?
Wow the Reds were before their time.

I've not been a fan of Stewart at first receiver but also was impressed. The combination of JOC (James O'Connor)-Stewart is really paying back.

Does that sound like an equivalent to the first receiver role I was talking about?

I agree with your assessment on his general ability. And this started with my saying the combination through first receiver with JOC (James O'Connor) is going brilliantly.
Sounds like adversarial agreement.

If the recovery timeline of Vunivalu is to be believe, I'd expect him to by available for selection this week, or at the latest next week. Anything after Round 5 in a 14 Round competition probably isn't considered early in the season, as has been communicated.
I think if he comes back and is firing, the Reds could look really good. JOC (James O'Connor) has some nice variation in his game, even before the Force game I thought some of his option taking when looking wide was good.

He's cooked boys.
I don't see RA retaining him either at this rate, sounds like we won't see him until we start playing the kiwi teams.

Cracking player, but his retention is untenable at this point, right? I certainly won't complain about having him back for the kiwis though

If the Reds keep winning games, the blokes on the park need to be rewarded, which means less room for him to return as well.
I'm genuinely disappointed about the Vunivalu situation. I think when he's fit, he makes the Reds backline so much more dangerous. There aren't many strike wingers in Australian rugby who can provide his impact. But his window to show that talent is closing quickly.

When fit, he is an athlete who provides a point of difference, and if he managed to stay fit i dont doubt he would nail down a starting position in the Wallabies and be a real star at test level.
Problem is... he hasn't been fit for any consistent period in the past 2 years.. how long do you invest hoping he can rectify his hamstrings

If Rennie really wanted to see what he could do, there is a chance he may have been offered a one year deal for 2023 with a small RA top up.
BUT I think this opportunity may be gone as I see Perese has signed a new deal this week which includes an RA top up.

If I recall correctly, nothing like this

I've run the numbers last year when he first got injured and the complaints started,
During his time in the NRL he played something like 84% of all eligible games (including finals which the Storm made many times).
So essentially, no real injury problems before the Reds, although his last year at the Storm was his most injury prone, so the signs were there.
