If you've got a way of getting to Perth from Brissy in 3hrs, let the mining companies know! You'll be a rich man. Youre looking at a minimum 5hrs in the air.

Vunivalu open to idea of ending up in centres for Wallabies
I assume he will be on the wing, no matter where he ends up, there will be some serious competition, lets hope it leads to better skills and performances, and not the loss of good players.

Reds already have Petaia and Paisami. He will be on the wing.

Yep, and Stewart one of the best defensive 12’s going round. Pretty arrogant to be talking of displacing Petaia at this stage. I’m not liking it.
let’s see him in the 15 man game before he starts taking preferences.
out of interest, When IF came across he was thinking wing but Lotte spoke to him and suggested FB in order to settle in.

? I can't see anything other than that he'd like to try OC but will play where the team wants. I'd hardly call that arrogant.

and it is an honest answer, no different to recruiting a prop who has a goal to be a starting THP when we have Thor.

Jojo Fifita off to the Gold Coast Titans on a 3 year full squad deal, I believe he had a Reds training deal of some sort prior to this.
Report saying Rennie watched him playing his last game of schoolboy rugby, so sounds like he was highly regarded.

His cousin is David Fifita so it makes sense. Still really sucks. To be fair he was an outside back/outside centre and we arent short on those.

Rennie had just moved to the Gold Coast and TSS were playing. More of a support the grassroots thing than an actually scouting outing.

I believe he was on a contract for 2021, the covid pay cut ordeal may have opened the door for him to get out though.

That is a big loss. Jojo and Jack Howarth to league sucks big time. It’s confirmed that Mason Gordon (BBC) and David Vaihu (GT) are off to the Rebels next week. Are there any players worth mentioning that the Reds have signed from this year’s school leavers? We just lost the top 4.

Jack Howarth is league to his bone. He was never staying in rugby.

All contracted players(minus wallabies) were asked to take a pay cut until Dec 20, if they refused they were free to break their contract. It’s how Lucas, Rodda and Hockings got out earlier this year when they did it the first time. That deal was for the duration of Super Rugby, non-wallabies were again asked to take a pay cut for the remainder of the year.
Pretty sure it’s also the reason Staniforth was able to break contract early as well.

Maybe but I also think if both sides wanted to mutually end the contract that was acceptable given the cost cutting.
Am I the only one who thinks Petaia could thrive at fullback? Him injecting himself into the backline at pace is scary for the opposition. Think Christian Cullen who also played a bit of centre. There's no one really grabbing the #15 jersey either although I am selfishly looking at this from an Aus perspective. It might have gone ok last Test but I just don't see Petaia & Paisami thriving together.

I don’t think so. I thought he might have got picked at some stage but it clashed - but I could be wrong on that.
And you’re right - it would be and you never know. At least having gone to BBC & having connections to guys like Shane Drahm there is some connection there. He played rugby through his younger days too (although league was always first) but he did play so you never know.

I think the thing is Petaia would be good wherever. It is a matter of where he would be best and also where he fits with others around him. From a Reds point of view it may come down to a choice between Stewart & Campbell. The other consideration is if Grealy is considered to be a hot prospect at 15 do you play Petaia there with the knowledge you may have to move him again.
When it all comes down to it Petaia is the pick of the talent. I feel we should put him in his best spot and let him flourish there. IMO his best spot is 13.
With regards to Paisami, he is never going to be a top level distributor but he already shows he has more to his game then being a crash ball centre. I actually think he already has attributes I like in a 12.
