Where would he get a gig? MLR maybe or semi pro overseas.
Feel bad being so harsh but he got a fair run. Maybe exposed too early?

Anyone got any idea why Richie Asiata, Angus Blyth, Ryan Smith, Tom Lynagh and Jock Campbell aren’t participating?
or are they just simply having some time off?

Campbell is injured and part of the coaching team (same as Wright). I believe Smith went in for shoulder surgery after the super season. Not sure about Asiata, Lynagh and Blyth, but I think they all missed the end of the club season so might be injured too.

Oh yes I forgot about Campbell being coach. Thanks for the update!

Haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but there's a write up from the Reds here:

Those comments about him being a key reason why Randwick won are true.

Anyone seen the new ad for memberships? I saw it on X last night and was shocked at how little the players featured. It was mostly crowd shots.
I wonder who will be the main faces used to promote the team this year?

I've seen plenty of players faces highlighted on membership advertising so far, but given McDermott, McReight, Petaia, Wilson, O'Connor and Paisami have all been overseas until recently or are still overseas that might be why an ad they just put out is light on players featured. The main faces will mostly come from that list I think, with McDermott already the face of it.

I think this is pretty on the money - 10 and 12 will be the interesting decisions imo. If Lynagh doesn't start 10 (which I think he will), I reckon we'll see Creighton there, with JOC (James O'Connor) at 12 regardless. One of Creighton/Lynagh (whichever isn't starting) and Paisami/Henry/Annan fighting for 22 and 23.
I also wouldn't mind persisting with Petaia at 15, where he looked very strong last season - but I'm not sure what that means for Campbell who has looked a bit out of place at 14. I'd have Wright starting over Uru too.

HMP hasn't even debuted in the senior team - there's absolutely no chance he is this season's 10. It will be Lynagh/Creighton/O'Connor.
A reminder that Lynagh also featured in 12 of the Reds' 16 matches in 2023... I'm not sure how you can suggest writing off a 20yo who has shown immense potential because he's had a run of injuries in the late/post season.
