I can't remember Foley/Carter/Cooper/To'omua/etc's first season of Super Rugby but we're they instantly recognised as being stars or did it take a little time for the talent to shine through?
Endorsementshe aint the highest paid player in the world at the moment.
Given that both Matt O'Connor and Nick Stiles are quite experienced coaches at this level, I'd be inclined to think that they probably have a better idea of who's up to Super Rugby standard and who's not than some online keyboard warriors like us.
that would seem to be one of the most inaccurate assessments I've seen on this site for a while. Have you watched many Reds games this year?
That's alright Reg, a number of us tried to tell you what the outcome of coach Graham was going to be with some specifics and you didn't like it. I'll trust to my (and a few Reds nuts) assessments.

That's a wonderful way to counter an argument - just bringing up something totally irrelevant. And you're trying to get kudos for being the one who suggested Graham couldn't coach? I look forward to your opinions on whether you think David Pocock is effective at the breakdown.
Can you just confirm though - You don't believe Hendrick Tui has been an effective ball runner this season?
Tui would have to be our best player right now imo
I'm not sure of you realise how arrogant your comments come across but I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you didn't intend this to be the case. Look, we're both Reds fans who just want the best for our favourite team, so passionate comments are to be expected, I just think we all need to temper such remarks with a little bit of consideration for the wider situation.Yes, because the CIHC's CVs are stacked with Super Rugby coaching experience, with proven records of success in Super Rugby.wait, what?
In actual fact all the keyboard warriors had the same level of Super Rugby coaching exp. before the season!! And halfway through, there still even in terms of success!
Super Rugby is a different game to the NH crap that MOC couldn't even get right.. and NS is proven at NRC which means he doesnt have to play NZ/SA sides. Selections of players with skillsets like JM will never be successful in Super Rugby. Period.
Read what I posted first Reg before you go off your tits.
and apart from startling open space runs Browning and Tui have little impact in carries.
The backrow with Tui and Browning just lacks a bit of balance and effectiveness for me, and even though they get to many breakdowns early they have little presence, and apart from startling open space runs Browning and Tui have little impact in carries. Indeed they look much like the Tahs with an aged Palu and Mumm. except opposition still try to avoid Palu a bit.

But Matt O'Connor took Leinster to the European gong winning it with O'Driscoll and co didn't he?
