Perhaps on the South Africa leg, you'd be pretty disappointed if they rested anyone with 3 home games in a row.

Agreed i thought about that yesterday as well. Most important player by far right now. Second most important is BPA after rewatching the team song. He should be captain and vice captain.

I think it’s in their DNA, genetic not environmental.

Did a little bit of research last night as for some reason I wanted to check if the Reds actually have a winning record at Suncorp Stadium.
Turns out they do but McKenzie & Thorn are the only coaches with win rates over 50%. And Thorn's at 5 & 4 now so needs a win on Sunday to stay in the "elite" group.
Was kind of amazed that all the other coaches combined only have one more win than Link but then when you think back to those seasons, it's more sad than amazing...

The thing I like about Duncan at 12 is it lets the outside backs shine. Naivalu, Daugunu.. dangerous in space, I'm keen to see them have some more ball, even CFS will get more of a crack.
Worked well for country.

DP has not had consistent form doing this for the Reds in 2019.

Well his recruitment has been a waste of time. I hope RA gave us something to sign him to get game time in case he is needed as a Wallaby.

I was championing DP in the off season however he really hasn't shown anything in super so far. I was devastated when he signed for toulon as I believed he has the skillset to go on and be a legit international 12. Unfortunately his form has regressed significantly which is a crying shame as I agree with your comments. He could really open up space for our outside backs when playing well. I'm not sure if he needs more game time, a week off or if he has just subconsciously mentally departed already.

Naivalu has been quite lazy as a winger in that he never appears to try to catch an opposing back who has made a break; doesn't do much follow up on kick & chase's, although at times he will go looking for action off his wing.
I rate him 5/10 and don't see him as a big loss. Maybe his heart just wasn't in it.

Yet he keeps getting selected.

Naivalu is totally overrated I wouldn't be giving him a game at the Reds now that he is leaving. Daugunu was electric in the final minutes against the Sunwolves and surely has to be in the starting team now.

What i would pay for a prowling 2011 Digby running inside balls off (seemingly) every play.
I remember as a player being told the blind side winger should be the fittest/most buggered player in the game.
Thankful i was tight 5.

are we able to drop him, wasn't his contract given to the Reds so he plays before the world cup?

Based on his form this season and this signing news I imagine there would be talks between QRU and ARU regarding his selection status. Cheikas selection policies at times have been baffling but the writing is on the wall that this bloke doesn't want to be in the Aussie setup so why keep persisting.
Has anyone explained the moment in the Sunwolves game where he decided to take a penalty kick for touch, and then shanked it and gave the ball back to them?
One of the stranger moments I've seen.
