Reds 2019

The answer to your question is in your question..
Not saying it will happen, but if it did then that’s why. Becuade.. home

He has some foresight wrt Thorn (unlike Quade) but I think he’d be mad. Expect some salary positioning though testing Red interest.

Credit to Penguin for the tip.

Caleb Timu red carded for South's yesterday in the QPR

You can just not see the incident on the Youtube link here - refs mike is live (Starts at around 1:23:000 if the link doesnt work

bugger. He would be likely to come into the squad for a likely suspend Angus Scott-Young

 

[Finsbury Girl]

red card for punching, seriously?

 

[TSR]

Yeah. Somewhat ironic in a week when our discipline was otherwise bloody good we will, presumably, lose two guys to needless infractions.

1:25:40: "we gonna thumb wrestle for it?"

Not condoning it at all. But having played a few times in conditions like this I know the heat does weird things to players brains. Haven't seen the Timu incident but if it's punching then I expect he'll cop a few. Can't have that in the game. I don't think there was a hell of a lot in the ASY (Angus Scott-Young) incident but that may be because he was wearing a Reds jersey. I suspect he will also go for a week or 4.

Keep in mind a 3 match suspension will bring them back mid South Africa tour so might effectively be 4 matches if they don't get taken on tour.

I guess you are from a different era where fisty cuffs being exchanged wasn’t a big deal?

Striking has been a straight red card offence for a long, long time now.........

I don't agree with it but suspect he'll get 2. Remember the "punch" by Quirk on Stewart last week? That was barely a punch and he was red carded and got 2 weeks. I can't see how this is worse than that. 2 weeks max, perhaps 1.

Salakai-Loto to the side with Hockings to start (he's been very very good recently) with Blythe or perhaps Korzcyk onto the bench

Heartbreaking absolutely heartbreaking that a player as good as Gunter is lost.

There was absolutely zero interest in him form the Reds or other Australian teams after he left school - in fact he was plugging way in Prem Colts for Souths before getting a training trial with Panasonic.

Hard work and being in a professional set up full time has paid massive dividends for him!

Interesting to know how much Robbie Deans has helped him as coach at Panasonic.

Ben was scouted by Panasonic when he went over there with BBC as a schoolboy in 2015, he then went back and trialled with Panasonic at the end of 2015 after he finished school. His contract with them started a few months later in 2016, maybe he did play a few colts games in 2016, but he was well and truly wrapped up by Panasonic by then.

Indeed this ain't tiddly winks. If someone was sent off every time a punch was thrown when I played we'd abandon every other match. I'm not condoning out and out thuggery but there are many times you need to stand up for your teammates & remind the oppo, no you cannot ruck the head etc.

re: ASY (Angus Scott-Young) "strike", I remember my under 7 coach @ Norths ruby league, actually teaching us something very similar at the tackle. "Just make sure the ref is not looking"

Nowadays, at professional level, the ref has all these little assistants around the field called Lenses.

I was quite impressed with Hegarty's pace in his try, he kept a very fast Banks at a distance. Didn't know Hegarty had wheels.

He would be second only to Daugunu in the Reds backline, that inudes the likes of Naiavalu

The Reds' backs generally, including Hegarty, had significantly more pace than the Brumbies' backline which looked pedestrian in comparison.

Makes one wonder what went wrong with their preparation?
