Yes - the No Dickhead Policy is standard Corporate Speak these days. Everyone claims to have one. Like the All Blacks though, what’s not so clear is who is policing it and how exactly they are defining what makes someone a dickhead. To be fair though, in my experience, a lot of dickheads are...

Haha. I thought that said go up 2 sizes OR get fit. My instant thought was - just go up two sizes. Much less work. :) Can’t believe I never played rugby at a high level.

Sorry mate - cheap shot

You’ve just described 90% of Derpus’ posts, to be fair.

I’m not convinced Canham is ahead of him at this stage but, in any case, managing a rotation of 4 locks shouldn’t be overly difficult. Injuries will inevitably play a big part.

Really like the team. I won’t be surprised if Blyth is in the 23 though. Not flashy but good at set piece and gets through a lot of work. Good problem to have though.

Why wouldn’t he give this a crack. It’s not like he’s going to forget how to play rugby. Timing is probably a bit surprising given the Lions tour but if he’s going to give it a crack at all he really probably couldn’t wait any longer

Sadly nothing can prepare you for that awful day when your kid runs onto the field and you realise they are playing wing. You just try to be proud of them whilst wondering where you messed up.

I think Skelton showed his worth in the past and v Wales. In the Scottish game our maul didn’t function well at all and we didn’t do anything particularly well with our defensive maul either - although the Scots didn’t try to drive that often from memory. Our lineout misfired. How much of that...

It is quite an interesting question. I think Sua’ali’i at 13 went well and I would be comfortable with he and Ikitau as our best pairing. However there is also a lot to like about a midfield like of Kerevi & Ikitau with Sua’ali’i on the wing. I think it is very unlikely now given we never saw...

Congrats Drewprint. Hope all are doing well.

I know it’s only a little thing, but the lineout where Valetini comes through the line because the throw is over the 15 and picks of the throw to the half is the kind of game smarts we haven’t seen enough of over the last 15 yrs or so.

Tough measuring scale.

He won the ball back off a kick directly before Jorgenson’s try.

From a Reds point of view I hope your right (and Wallabies I guess - but again seems very premature to be talking about Werchon in a Wallabies chat). Certainly has some talent.

I don’t think he’s pulled anyone in who is third choice in their Super team though, has he. I do agree though that White is looking past it. I know Wilson is highly rated. Who knows. He’s young enough that he can make big steps year round year.

My biggest concern with him is his composure. I know halves can suffer from angry man syndrome at the best of times but he seems to lose the plot a bit whenever he cops a bit of stick.

It’s great that he has a high ceiling. I just think he could be a bit closer to it before we start putting him into Wallaby squads. Or at least be better than the alternatives. Which he isn’t at the moment. If he has a great super rugby than maybe he’ll be a shot. I’d be amazed if Schmidt...

They are certainly issues. With all the scrutiny that Lolesio and fhe flyhalf position is getting The halves have gone under the radar a bit. Gordon doesn’t do lots wrong. He just also doesn’t do anything particularly top level. His passing and box kicking is sound - but nothing more. He isn’t...

Thanks BR. I tried keep my post to a reasonable length by not mentioning every player - but agree with most you’ve mentioned. Also think Van Nek has potential at THP too. I didn’t have the same wrap as you on Canham and I am not sure he’ll have it all his own way making the Reds 23, but I’ll...
