gives us a test tight five, which is handy. A World Class 10 is really critical.

Anyone else feel uncomfortable that Hegarty is being considered? If we had a good solid 10 on the books I probably wouldn't mind seeing him as a development player but I certainly wouldn't him over for Jake McIntyre or Sam Greene. I mean, Hegarty shows flashes of good work but not entirely confident he is a week in week out option at the moment.

 

[RugbyReg]

I'm with you there SFR.

Green and J-Mac are just as good as Bryce, without the Super Rugby caps. We need a top level 10.

 

[suckerforred]

Also hope we see more of Adam Korczyk this year. Has the potential to be the bollcking specialist 6 that not only the Reds but also Australia is missing.

 

[Scoey]

Yep I agree, I don't have anything at all against Hegarty but we have our two development 10's already. We need some experience and some proper rugby nous at flyhalf.

 

[Ignoto]

Good signing.

8 Curtis Browning​

Seems you forgot Tui; http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/r...nternational-hendrik-tui-20150730-ginsp0.html

Surely he'd be the starter or at least on the bench?

 

[Gillys_ghost]

Could Korczyk be our Rocky Elsom in a few years? Browning needs to be given time to show what hes capable of, he hasnt really been given that chance yet. if hes not up to it im really keen on Developing Fakaosilea. 6. Korczyk 7. Gill 8. Fakaosilea is a pretty balanced backrow

 

[RugbyReg]

sure did. Thanks. Noted and updated.

Team is looking better.

Ok, I'm back on board Reds.

Sports Bet??? TAKE MY MONEY!!!!

 

[Gillys_ghost]

also i know its never going to happen but whats Jonathan Sexton's Contract situation next season?

 

[Gillys_ghost]

Reg, not keen on Nabuli? surely he might nab a wing spot?

 

[Train Without a Station]

I see Browning a better starting 6 option that Korczyk right now. He looked very out of his depth against the Hurricanes. Luckily he's not even 21 so has plenty of time to develop.

with Tui or Schatz at 8?

 

[emuarse]

hearing Knuckles is going. Likely scenario is that new HC doesn't want him/

Also says to me that if RG (The Destroyer) was going to be reappointed Knuckles would remain.

I've already cracked a bottle of RED

There's nothing quite like a Friday pre-lunch bottle of Red. Makes for a longer weekend

 

[TOCC]

Korczyk, Browning and Fakaodilea are all still very young. I just hope people keep expectations in check and give them a chance to develop before criticising them for poor performances.

5/8 is the glaring weakness in the lineup...

what about Johan Goosen?

 

[Rugger Mate]

Yep I agree, I don't have anything at all against Hegarty but we have our two development 10's already. We need some experience and some proper rugby nous at flyhalf.

Agree don't really rate him but think he will be around. Oconnor is doubtful from what I'm hearing. Wants out. Think he may have some issues like QC (Quade Cooper). Lot of pressure building , could be costly for him!!

I know nothing of him, just what I've seen on youtube.
Plus we haven't confirmed him as yet.

Fuck your clever, what a great suggestion, he would be a good signing as a marquee flyhalf!

 

[Troy]

Haven't been up to date with Duck Duck, hasn't he been injured quite a bit? He be good though, provided he can stay reasonably fit.

no idea, it was actually probably not a clever suggestion and he could be almost a cripple by now if his injury rate kept going, but when the blokes healthy, hes a big weapon. if it wasnt for his injuries i reckon the Boks would have been better off choosing him long-term then Pollard. i think hes playing for one of the french teams but havent heard anything about him for a while which is probably a bad sign.
