In regards to toua guys i think a lot of ppl forget the kid has had 2 knee reconstructions and last yr struggled a lot with his hamstrings!
Its always underestimated the effort it takes to come back from huge injury layoffs (remember cooper took a while to find his feet again) and play to the...
Apparently on foxsports jono lance will be playing 15. Not a bad option i think. He will do quades defending as lucas did and will do a good job as he is a strong defender and he runs good lines in attack.
Hope he does well. Anyone heard what he is doing next year?
Ive heard little whispers that the force and rebels have been in contact with toua. Would be a damn shame if he left but he deserves to play super rugby and those teams are probably more of a chance to give him game time. Although i believe he should be the reds 15. Apparently he has been...
Yeh i think lucas will move back to the bench and it will be interesting to see if link does go back to the 4-3 bench or stick with 5-2.
However i did notice that in defence QC (Quade Cooper) dropped back and they defended harris, Fainga'a and ioane in the 10,12,13 channel and morahan on the wing. So if...
What a great win by the reds. The forward pack was massive all game winning most of the collisions at the breakdown and the defensive line was up off the line fast all game shutting down any attacking raids by the stormers.
One thing im not sure about was having harris on the field but not...
I think this week with hynesy out I would like to see toua given a chance but you would think after the past 2 weeks that Lucas will start at 15. I guess he adds that 2nd playmaker to the equation but you have to think with him back there the reds backline looks pretty slow IMO. The only bloke...
My 22 after watching the game in Darwin:
1. Daley
2. Fainga'a
3. Slipper
4. Van
5. Horwill
6. Higgerz
7. Quirk
8. Houston
9. Genia
10. Cooper
11. Ioane
12. A. Fainga'a
13. Chambers
14. Davies
15. Hynes (heard he had family matters to attend to otherwise would've playe in Darwin)...
I reckon toua does have a better skill set then the 3 we mentioned who are on contracts but the fact is they have been able to get on the park whereas toua has been on the sidelines. It must be hard for a young bloke coming back from a major knee recon but watching toua in club footy early this...
Yes i think that is tevita kuridrani. I have heard he is training with the academy but on a 7's contract but i dont know if that is true. Also in the academy that didnt run i believe are Matt lucas, Dallan murphy, joel faulkner and Aidan Toua.
Also on felsman i heard he ran 4.78 in their 40m...
PAE did play a bit of premier grade up here. Started off on the bench as he had Anae and Holmes in front of him but once ole avei left they moved Anae to hooker and PAE started.
If the force are after outside backs why not go after Aidan toua? He would Definetely provide more depth and...
I have heard that Ben coridas and Dave mcduling have signed to the reds academy. I reckon they are great pick ups for the reds. Coridas could push gill and quirk for that 7 jersey and mcduling provides more depth in the lock position with maybe a chance of picking up a contract next year once...
