Yeah, IMO most all RA top-up money should just be performance based. I don't want us paying Jordan Uelese RA money to do nothing. -_-

https://www.rugbypass.com/news/report-montpellier-to-sign-wallaby-paenga-amosa-to-fill-springbok-void/ Why is it always the positions we're lightest in that the European teams happen to pillage?

https://www.rugbypass.com/news/report-montpellier-to-sign-wallaby-paenga-amosa-to-fill-springbok-void/ Well that's far from ideal, you can't hold it against the guy, good on him, but that's a big blow to the Reds.

Yeah, nah, never rated him even then. Sure he was probably playing his best footy then but I still didn't rate him very highly.

Rob Simmons dat you?

Boyz we really don't need any more back rowers! Go get us some locks! haha

Yeah, I feel like the team culture the Reds are building will tend to have a lot of parents wanting their sons to play Reds rugby over going to an NRL Club. Obviously that's not going to be the fist and last of it, but that will be a big factor in what the parents want for their kids.

I'd agree if O'Connor goes he's not coming back, this year the Reds need him. They are gunning for the Super Rugby (Au & TT). While I do think Stewart could/would be a viable option at flyhalf, but obviously having O'Connor leave is far far far from ideal. Given than, the QRU would probably not...

Sounds O'Connor go who's the Flyhalf?

Do people seriously think he's going to throw away the Wallabies starting 10 and his relationship with the QRU for half a season in France?

I don't speak french, but know a little -- enough to get by, TLDR they want him for a few months as injury cover. So worst case he's gone until like April, but the QRU would need to agree -- not likely. But if he had a young flyhalf replacement it could be a decent way for the QRU to give the...

Thoughts on Hooper's captaincy?

As a non-Club person, I think it bridged the gap really well, all the club people were interested because they were following their club boys, and all the Reds people were invested to see the next generation. I really liked that the Q-NRC teams held games at various club grounds rather than at...

It's curious the hookers have shaken out the way they have, it was the other way around under the previous coach.

Yeah, losing the NRC is probably the the worst thing to happen to Aussie Rugby in a long time.

What's Rennie doing with Hodge? O'Connor is still (IMO) the form 10, especially with the Hunter/Jordie centre combination. So we play Hodge at 15, or dump Wright to play him at 11?

Yeah I REALLY rate Uru physically. Physically he's so impressive, big enough to bed a dedicated ball runner, but still able to jump at the lineout. Hasn't quite taken his few chances, but dripping with potential, if he can figure it out. Also don't forget ASY (Angus Scott-Young) can probably play at lock if...

I'd sooner have JP (or both) the Smith Boyz then Slipper, Slipper is the better player, but JP would be a better fit given his scrumaging. And I'd only have wanted Rodda to be retained of the others in that list. But he made his choices.

I'd almost be interested in trying Stewart at 15 (10 in defense), although in the past when he's played from 15 he hasn't done well. Also didn't Campbell shit the bed on the wing when tried there previously? I think Hegarty might find it tough to even break into the 23. Also no one has...

So who's everyone's starting 15?
