Reds 2021

[dru]

Vunivalu would be fighting an up hill battle defending against Simone and Ikitau at OC. He can't even defend wing properly yet. That would be a very high risk move.

I doubt going a season undefeated meant 'nothing'. I can, however, see the merit in all or nothing if you are trying to prevent tired players from picking up an injury in extra-time, where the result ultimately doesn't affect the standings.

Completely, meant plenty to the fans. If there was ever a time to max out time for non first 15 players though, this was it. Bring on the final.

And the TT.

Has the Paisami injury been confirmed as yet?

The longer this goes unannounced. The more likely Paisami injury isn’t that severe

Surely if he was going to miss 8 weeks there’d be a news story?

Unless the reds remaining tight lipped to keep their grand final opponent guessing on the reds matchday 23.

Reds apparently out of the bubble

Will we expect to see a few players in Club this weekend?

 

[Zero_Cool]

I would tend to not risk my starters, especially the guys who have done big mins, but perhaps a few of the 23 and likely the wider squad.

 

[Adam84]

They’ll likely have a team run at Ballymore with their starting XV as a bit of conditioning and prep

UQ were told yesterday that their Reds’ players won’t be available for club rugby this weekend.

That could easily have changed inside 24hrs if it was a directive issued based on Queensland Health’s form on being totally inconsistent regarding reaction to Covid cases .

 

[TSR]

I can’t see anyone who is in the starting 23 being allowed to play club rugby.

It’s hard to say whether Paisami is or isn’t injured. The media these days doesn’t have that many professional journalists sniffing around rugby so there’s every chance he is injured but the Reds have managed to keep it under wraps to keep their enemies preparing as if he’s playing the game.

 

[Zero_Cool]

Yeah, it's weird because no one said anything about him in the match, he looked to just go off for an HIA perhaps, but nothing was said. Then after the match no one asked about him. It's like he got forgotten in the loss?!
I don't understand why no one is asking / talking about it, unless the Reds have said off the record they aren't taking about him and keeping it under wraps?

 

[Set piece magic]

I also wouldn't be surprised if the Reds name him in the starting lineup only to then declare he is injured on game day

That clip of Gordon giving Ruan a slap on the head for Ruan to turn around a get shirt with another West's player was absolutely perfect. Pure shithousery at its finest at QPR.

Carter’s back for Wests this week according to Rugby Xplorer, wonder if any of his teammates will avoid standing anywhere near him if a bit of push and shove breaks out ?

 

[Zero_Cool]

I don't think the Reds are so tricky to name him knowing he's not likely to be playing. That's not Thorn's way, I get the impression they take the approach that you play your best rugby, and if you lose then they were the better team clearly you've gotta work harder and get better until you're the better team.

 

[RugbyReg]

to be honest I think they aren't rushing anything because the game is next week. Why bother talking team selections until then?

And then.

St.George Queensland Reds centre Hunter Paisami could be sidelined for approximately four weeks after suffering a facial fracture during last Friday's match against the Western Force in Perth.

Paisami fractured his cheekbone in the 31st minute following heavy contact from the Force defence but won't require surgery.

After finishing the regular season as minor premiers, Queensland has earned a bye week ahead of hosting the Super Rugby AU Grand Final on 8 May at Suncorp Stadium.

Could have been worse.

 

[Ignoto]

Made a bit worse when TK was then banned for 3 matches for his first hit on Hunter.
