For all those saying why didn't Sam Greene get used, I think last night's game showed. Was good in defence but appeared a little over awed in attack and lost the ball in contact one of the few times he touched it.
Also anybody who thinks McIntyre was the catalyst for that improvement paid zero attention to the 14 players around him. Frisby would have looked like an improved player last night also.
Geez, that's very harsh on Greene - 'here's the reason he wasn't used before'. He was there for all of 9 minutes and the Reds did not have large periods within that of attacking ball.
Very, very few young players on debut wouldn't have some nerves and swerves to start with. QC (Quade Cooper) in his very early days with the Reds was notoriously erratic.
Of course, I am not suggesting those 9 minutes proved Greene a wonderful Reds 10 in the making, rather I do sense TWAS this post is moreover for you about your somewhat stubbornly held theory that RG was an 'astute recruiter and yet has really had no credible options at 10 all of 2015'.
The near-universal view everywhere I've looked is that McIntyre was, for a debutant, very solid at 10 (bar his kicking game) and that his native skills in that position made a big difference to the Reds' coherence and stability on attack. I respect of course that you seem to differ on this somewhat.
