On that note and without knowing who Les has lined up, if recruiting to bolster the squad where do you think the best value could be added? My wishlist would be getting hold of a high quality lock - I think our current guys are good especially Blyth if he can string a body of games together...

How good https://reds.rugby/news/jubilee-hotel-links-with-qru-to-become-the-clubhouse-for-rugby-in-brisbane-2024411 Looks like The Jube just went to the top of the list.

Great article here on Liam Wright’s contribution, covering a lot of the things that Aus rugby fans typically don’t notice/value https://www.rugbypass.com/news/the-understated-flanker-who-could-be-just-what-joe-schmidt-is-looking-for/ I still think he needs to get some flash headgear or an Afro...

Keen to see how Annan goes, thought he had some promising moments in the few appearances he had last year.

Was just watching Between two Posts and I think they said Henry has ruptured his patella tendon

We thought it was a rolled ankle so perhaps not quite as bad as the calf..

Yeah agree, more interested in his on field views rather than off field.

Listened to that as well, was a good podcast. Based off his comments and the trial games so far does anyone else get the sense he is implementing an Irish sort of style? Ie high possession with ruck and running fitness proficiency to support it, ambition to get the ball into space and emphasis...

How did the last reds try go down? Missed it due to the feed…

Faesslers line out work has been superb so far.

I walked past him at Ballymore last weekend, no visible strapping or anything like that so hopefully nothing too major.

I like all this. The September to November timing would have the added benefit of some clear air time with the other football codes having finished for the year. Got to have some appeal to a broadcaster surely?

Whichever way we look at it it’s a great problem to have. Only other thing I’ll add is that based off Les’s comments around wanting an aggressive, progressive style of attack that isn’t afraid to pull the trigger etc, HMP’s style to me best fits this philosophy.

It would be absolute peak aus rugby wouldn’t it.
