Reds 2023

[PhilClinton]

hearing increasing in Campbell's ability to cover inside back positions (10 and 12) for both Reds and Wallabies...

Interesting, I don't think he's ever played there at 1st Grade for UQ has he?

I would have thought the flowchart for the flyhalves was quite simple now:

JOC (James O'Connor) and Creighton to be starting and bench in whichever order and Lynagh has been progressing well enough that hopefully we see him in 2023. I would have liked the Reds to sign Tayler Adams as well as 4th string.

I wonder if this means we are more likely to see Aubrey or Grealy at fullback this year, rather than Lynagh at flyhalf.

Reds v Panasonic stream should be here, assuming they don’t geoblock this one. 9pm AEDT I think

Have heard that JOC (James O'Connor) just underwent his second surgery for the latest injury.

Mumblings around the traps that he could possibly miss all of 2023 and/or retire.

I wonder if there is any way to free up some cash if that is the case for 2023, he'd be on a decent wicket.

Jeez, that's a surprise - I thought he posted only a few days ago that he was recovering well. It's his foot isn't it?

Absolutely loving all the shots of the jersey for this game the Reds have been sharing, it's a real cracker as a one off. Can't wait to see what Canterbury comes up with for next season.

Just basing that off what players were apparently told at Brothers 1st grade opening night this week. His last post was Oct 19th, not sure if theres been another surgery since then.

I thought there might've been a story that he put up more recently than that, but obviously can't go back to check. Could be getting my team rehab members confused though... I'd trust the Brothers scuttlebutt more than my memory

games underway.

Vunivalu very threatening already, Kalani Thomas with a great pass for Harry Wilson try.

Henry with the tee, very good to see it's something they're looking at given his history

 

[Pass it to Dunning!]

Even though it's a preseason game for the Wild Knights, I'm surprised they're rustier than the Reds at this point.

Harry Wilson jumping in the lineout!

A few Reds with a point to prove aren't making it easy on them. Doesn't help that they've got no answer for the Reds maul either.

Come on, we know the forwards have it. Try some backs ball

 

[RugbyReg]

Vunivalu really needs the killer instinct. No lazy 1 hand carries and offloads.

He really needs to game time, but I'd prefer Ben Navo stays on. None of the backs have really got much ball but you suspect they will clear the bench sooner rather than later.

Yeah, his potential is there for all to see and he's clearly leagues ahead of the opposition, but he's playing a bit casually now as a result. Very different to some of the club/fringe guys who look hungry.

 

[Sword of Justice]

Henry is a big lad. If he can string a season or two together he will not be able to help but get some exposure to higher honours.

Would love to see some consecutive structured plays out the backs in the second half.

 

[RugbyReg]

Gee that was average of Vunivalu after that dropped ball. Lazy.

Really stark contrast to the way Navosailagi is playing right now

 

[The Nomad]

That wasn’t too bad from Vunivalu.
