I'm confident there will be a positive move in all directions. From what I hear there are already great things in the pipeline with recruitment. Brad Thorn has started a new trend but the question is how are we going to compete with the international market with our experienced players opting...
Kata and Pollard are both positive recruitments for 2020 after watching you tube footage on both. The flyhalf position is still the biggest problem. Kata is a wreaking ball but is he a play maker? The centres with Simone, Kurindrani, and Ikitau are strong and Noah Lolesio possible bench but not...
A flip of the coin between Noah and Bayley starting but I do think game strategy Bayley will have the more impact in the second half if he comes on at the 40-50 min mark. Bayley would be my pick in the coming years at the starting 10 with better skills. He just needs the game time to develop the...
Brisbane College had smart fast forwards.
Gordon is a Bernie clone for sure and I told Bernie that a year ago. The Reds have a lot of flyhalves - Hegarty, Stewart, Lucas, JOC (James O'Connor) and Gordon. We'd be happy to take Gordon off your hands... Just say the word.
Round 2 on the Gold Coast yesterday was the first time I've watch a number of the development players on the ground. Andy Muirhead being the player that gets my thumbs up, next being Noah Lolesio but ony for the first 30 minutes. Muirhead played fullback but see him more of a winger in...
If anyone wants to see Pasitioa play - go to Double Take Sports Live feed today at 2.15pm. QLD GPS Nudgee College playing Brisbane Boys College. Meant to be an even type of game.
Kuenzle's core skill level and style of rugby suits the Brumbies. We have the team strength and dont need an individual player to be a run first player at flyhalf. Thats schoolboy rugby.
Agree that Lonergan is close. Good basics. Albert sends a good pill, and has good foot work, but needs improvement in kicking and quick hands. Pasitoa plays a running centre's game without the footwork. Not quick enough or accurate with the hands, and tackling defence is a miss.
After Saturday's performance in Perth, White would be welcomed with open arms. At the same time Powell is doing a superb job. I have taken the time to watch some game footage with Lonergan, Albert and Pasitoa. All should be no greater than the wider squad as young development players. No where...
RoffsChoice. A few changes at the Reds. It is rumoured that McGahan (Waratahs), Tela (?) and Wileman (Waratahs) are gone and Stewart looking elsewhere. JOC (James O'Connor) most likely at the Reds. A reshuffle could be Hegarty at flyhalf with Carter Gordon on the bench. JOC (James O'Connor) at inside centre and Issac Lucas at...
Next year we have a high number of inexperienced super rugby players coming into the backs and it makes sense to have the captain working with these guys from the back. Joe Powell is the obvious leader. Maybe a bit young at 25 year old but a potential key turning point in his career.

Powell-Kuenzle-Muirhead-Simone-Kuridrani-Pulu-Banks looks good. Lolesio and Wright are close. Thanks for the informative summary on the other teams. That puts it is prospective but i guess we will see some movement in the next couple of months.
