Flook listed three times in Rugby Xplorer. Maybe injured in third game?
Brothers were towelled by Bond 48-22 in round 12 and then by GPS 58-31 in round 15 and then Stewart, Wilson, Creighton and Flook came back. Big contrast since then.

Sorovi is a free agent.
Previously with the reds - has had an international cap with Fiji so that might rule him off their radar

Would be a cracking fixture!

I've heard on the streets will cartwright, the brothers colts 1 halfback will get a run in the challenger team. Was up there for tries and points scored in the colts comp and scored a cracker in their GF

Definitely think Harrison Lloyd should be there as a prop, he'd probably be my first choice as a club prop to call up as a guy who could probably slot straight back into super if needed.
Would be great if Massimo De Lutiis can come up for this too, having him play challenger series and the Saitama game would be a good opportunity for him to hit the ground running with the Reds.

I agree with many previous. Here’s mine from the matches I watched:
- Usher
- Fraser
- Sheriff
- Leeming
- Connors/ Kapa
- Batisabaga
- Herbert/ Gicquel
- Hemopo
- Sorovi / Pilz [ is Sorovi still contracted ?)
- Twidale/ Pappin
- Sperling/ Kennedy
- Nasoko
- Bond/ Boardman
- Towers
- Ngamu /Whiteside

Flook played against West, was knocked out in the first 2 minutes of the East game and that was it - 7 starters that played Bond didnt start in the GF, 5 starters in the GPS game didnt start the GF completely different team you are comparing apples and oranges.
So to Willem Johnstone from South

Mick Heenan?

Agree. Hope he's back soon and it didn't leave a bitter taste with him after just one season

Not that dissimilar to when Shane Arnold got thrown to the sharks as an assistant just before Thorn came in.
He stepped away from rugby for a couple of years to focus on his business before returning to coach GPS these last couple of years.
Situation a bit different, I don’t think Shane was ever pushing for a professional HC role.

What were Arnold’s credentials?
Bit different to Heenan’s record?

Yep never said they were like for like.
Shane had just come through some winning NRC seasons with Brisbane City when he was promoted to the Reds.
Was comparing from the standpoint of a well regarded club coach only being held for one season by the Reds.

Didn’t know the backstory of Arnold.
