You’d think so but I swear I saw something recently saying he’s a chance to be fit for this match.

Haha yes. Mods please go ahead and ban me from all future Reds threads. I don’t deserve to be there!

I mentioned it in the Wallabies thread but it disappeared in the recent forum purge, but I think we gain more by having a hopefully fit, healthy, and firing Kerevi at 12, Ikitau at 13, and JAS on the wing than any other formation. This is controversial too as a rusted on Reds fan, but I also...

No one can tolerate Doleman so no I can't imagine him getting a girlfriend.

Big thanks everyone, all of the advice is super helpful!

I’m going to both the Brisbane Test and the Sydney Test (also going to Tahs vs Lions too, man I’ve dropped some coin!). Recently moved to Sydney so still learning the ropes - for the locals, what’s a good game plan for dinner/drinks beforehand then rolling into the game? Any areas that are good...

Strong. I’d have Daugunu in over Potter, but otherwise I’m a fan (happy if they go with 12 Ikitau 13 JAS too).

I think Robinson is a pure backrower, so in that team makeup you’d maybe have him at 7, Langi at 6, Ekanayake at 8, and Doyle at 4.

Or starting Skelton with Hooper at #6.

I’ve heard the name Goddard thrown around a bit as a super promising NSW prop battling to return from injury in time for this series. Shame he hasn’t quite made it. Big loss for us for this comp?

No alternative proposal from me honestly, I haven’t given it much thought to be fair. Not sure what else could be done. To be clear I definitely agree the reward needs to be there, but I think the second chance is enough.

True but it’s got to be a balance. I think it’s a bit out of whack here. Just too big a bonus.

Yeah getting a second chance as the top placed loser is enough of a good bonus. Shouldn’t receive another home game too. Hope they rethink this next year.

I think all you want in rugby is a contest where it is a fair fight. Are the Crusaders the better team tonight? Sure. But let’s reflect on what allowed them to grow into such dominance throughout the match. The damage was done in the first half where both teams were willing but one was being...

Paul made his mind up before kickoff.
