Is there any chance Koro is overlooked -- he's been a main stay but the Rebs haven't even looked like wanting to score a try all season, and your wingers job is to score tries first and foremost mix in his tactical weakness and MAYBE he hasn't shown enough. (I'm not advocating for this, just...

I'm not sure we're THAT light on at hooker. Fainga'a & BPA are proven test hookers. Mafi has been there abouts for a while now. Kaitu'u has also been good. 100% agree that none of the fullbacks have really done anything all that impressive. I'm a little surprised Campbell hasn't been in the mix...

I think Wilson did show that he can do that against the Brumbies after having been pretty fine up until that game. I think he is lucky Isi isn't playing for the Rebs otherwise he might find himself under a bit of pressure for the Wallabies.

That first half from Valetini was EPIC, but he went missing for a lot of the second half. He only finished the night with 11/2 tackles, and 8 runs. Very respectable but he had something like 6 runs and 9 tackles in the fist half. And IIRC he played out the 80. If you can get that first half...

I don't think Latu is really anywhere near coming back to Australia right now. Maybe the Waratahs are in a position that the have to take a risk on him, that's up to then, but until then I think there really isn't any point talking about it. We are actually pretty good in terms of hookers right...

So you think we should just ignore that a player was so drunk he was passed out behind the wheel! But not only did that once, but twice?! Seriously? Like seriously? I get it if it's once on a low range drink driving charge, where he's only just over the limit. But he was passed out drunk, while...

I'm all for money ball, take the 3, but you've gotta do both. The Reds are currently the perfect example of that, they look to attack when they attack, but when the 3 is on offer they take it. Point is you can't play just one way.

The Reds & Brumbies showed they can (and did) adapt to it. If you're only trying to grind penalties it can be fairly easily delt with but being disciplined, and that's even easier if you know they aren't going to threaten your line integrity. That's why it's so important to attack the line and...

Once, or twice if it's not too bad and I'm probably okay with it, but passed out on the car while driving is far too much, let alone twice. He easily could have killed someone! I also think everyone needs to keep Latu's performances in mind... He had ONE good World Cup campaign, and has...

My concern wasn't that they weren't scoring tries, not even they weren't generating any try scoring opportunities, but that they almost weren't even trying too. IIRC their third game against the Force they completely turned that around and looked to score tries off every play. While that's still...

I think the thing most holding back the Rebels in the last two years has been their insistence to play To'omua at 10. Even last year when they played Deagan at 10 they looked so much sharper in attack - obviously Deagan isn't a very good flyhalf, but he is a flyhalf, To'omua just can't get a...

But do you really want to be blooding a lock at 32. I'm not sure he's better enough than our other options to justify picking someone of his age. MAYBE if we have an injury or two and want someone to just plug in. But I'd imagine Sitaleki Timani is the other option to fill that role.

I think we get your views Reg. Haha It's not too far off what we've selected in the past, we just started Stewart & Flook in the centers and they did well. Daugunu & Vuni have both started on their respective wings, and many (including JOC (James O'Connor) & Thron) have rated Jordie at 15. Sorovi was up until...

What a couple of six packs?

Latu got done for passing out in his car again a few weeks ago (this time having crashed into a number of parked cars). I think that's a HARD pass from us. Agreed our other hookers need to develop their size. And I agree BPA is not SO good that we fall over ourselves to bring him back, but we...

I think you've gotta pick your full strength 23. But I'd be getting some of the guys who have done big minutes like Tupou onto the bench and I'd be making sure whoever my 10 of the future is on the bench to give JOC (James O'Connor) some well deserved rest (maybe Stewart?). I'd be touch and go on Pisami, if he's...

BPA is clearly the best Hooker in the country, no doubt, Fainga'a scores tries but they're not tries he creates they're tries the Brumbies pack creates and he's the beneficiary off. Reg could probably hold onto the back of that Brumbies maul and pick up more than a few tries. BPA is hands down...

I actually had, and that was why I said quite word. I do think he's probably got the skills to play 15, but regardless of if they have the tools or not you'd prefer their first time playing that position to not be in a test match... Maybe get him back to Club carving up for Wests at 15 next week...

I think what a lot of those shitting on the 50/22 don't understand is it's that threat that has created the space for all the attacking rugby we've had in Super Rugby:AU. The 50-22 pulls 2 defenders out of the line, it strongly encourages those defenders to have a kicking game (to counter with their own...

So the Red scrum was dominant even with the Brumbies first choice front row, I think that will be telling going forwards. But the more interesting thing was I thought it looked like the Reds were figuring out how they defend the Brumbies lineout.
