    Queensland Reds 2024

    Hhaha of course! Would love to see him in Red also, but yeh just trying to be realistic. Priority is to keep him, gibbon, Kailea and Talakai (less so Thor - save the money and select for wallabies) in Super rugby. They are scrummaging really well, that fringe wallaby journeyman level which we...

    Queensland Reds 2024

    Yes if Ravai is done after this season, I actually see a 'cheaper' Rebels option as a good one (I imagine Gibbon and Eloff to have higher costs). Kailea has been the regular bench prop, is Big broad body who hasn't put a foot wrong and spent time here I believe? Would like to see the Force pick...

    Queensland Reds 2024

    I feel hooker, (after Faessler) has scope for a bit of an upgrade. We have Nasser, Asiata and Craig (devel). IF the Rebels fold, Uelese, Mafi & Dobbins are available, and it seems like that the force Kaituu will be out of the Force, with the pickup of BPA, Dolly and a strong performing Horton...

    Round 9 : Reds v Highlanders

    announced 13 and change, so very unlikely it was over 12.

    Round 9 : Reds v Highlanders

    Usually a healthy round-up in most codes. Probably just cracked 11, 13 sounds better then 12.

    Wallabies 2024

    In a post match chat or one of the shows, can't recall, one of the players said that Bell got better then expected news. Doesnt change Super Rugby return, but yeh.

    Wallabies 2024

    i really don't know when it comes to LHP. I can't think of any others who have left Super Rugby in recent years playing anywhere. Could say Robertson but he is in the UK to study. actually.. Cameron Orr would be better.

    Wallabies 2024

    Leave out Perese because he is still here, otherwise Swinton would be the 6 > Kemeny, as he is here but leaving also 1. Sio 2. Fainga'a 3.Hoskins 4. Arnold 5. Skelton 6. ASY (Angus Scott-Young) 8. Samu 7. Gill 9. Kerr barlow 10. Quade 11. Koroibete 12. Kerevi 13. Hodge/Simone 14. Maddocks 15. Banks 16. Latu 17...

    Queensland Reds 2024

    Yeh wild. Have a lock play lock and a hyrbid lock/6 play 6. Disastrous approach. But if that is too ridiculous for you, then the other option (which I agree is completely revolutionary) is to replace Mcreight directly. Anderson is in the squad as a 7, Bryant as a utility and Brial as an 8. Put...

    Queensland Reds 2024

    Lack of go-forward/mass in the tight stuff is showing up in the Reds. They are getting caught out going wide too early and pushing the offloads, defence identifying the trend. With the likely suspension of Mcreight, put Wright to 7, Uru to 6, start Blyth and rotate the front row again (Ravai &...

    Wallabies 2024

    Swinton would be my 6, he not only is physically strng in tight, he is also a strong lineout man. If leaving means don't pick, then I'd go with Holloway, but agree that Frost would need a physical lock partner. If not Skelton (not sure if HE has made himself available for the upcoming series)...

    Wallabies 2024

    Think the 'Schmidt wants to focus on local players' isn't reallyyyyy that big of a thing. It's more of a politically correct statement (at least that's what the pundits said on the rugby news). He will pick the best team he can within the rules. In the same interview, in almost the same breath ...
