The test games will need to lift the standard for the cost of seats.

The Lions supporters not overly enthusiastic either. Must admit my brother didn't get us great seats and we were surrounded by spectators and not diehard fans. Just started watching the replay and the crowd support after the first Red's try is better in the broadcast.

Last night was my first time back from os watching a live rugby game for 4 years. What has happened to the crowd atmosphere at Suncorp? Reds got some momentum is the first 20 minutes mainly because of Paisami breaking the line and connecting with his outside backs. Reds missing size in the...

Lynagh did turn the game around with the backline playing controlled attack. Poor decision with the line out call with 2 mins to go lost the game.

Lynagh is the priority and coming into BL and RWC he is in the mix as there is no No 10 who has secured the jersey. Kiss and Schmidt would be managing minutes and injury risk. HMP can’t close out a game whereas Lynagh can.

Lolesio too

That is where I’d be investing my money. Him and Sua'ali'i at 15 the ultimate players to build a world class backline around.

Reesjan at 12 a better conversation.

Quade and Carter were the best two players to manage the jersey over a three year cycle until Carter gained test experience and secured the jersey long term. Ben Donaldsons the third backup as utility between 10 and 15. Lynagh in the background developing.

Grealy only offered an extended squad contact. A kick in the teeth really.
