Reds 2022

[Cancelled Account]

Jezus. Remove ASY (Angus Scott-Young)? That is a call and a half.

I’m an ASY (Angus Scott-Young) fan. Just saying, Thorn holds Wright with higher regard.

Would URU be in the sights of Fiji Rugby and the possible Fijian Super Rugby team?

Is it better for the game if he leaves??? (not for the Reds obviously)

Don't see why he would. Even if Fiji Drua can post competitive salaries at Super Rugby level, Uru would be eyeing a Wallaby jersey and top-up. Fiji still don't really pay their players.

Sure. And ofc the playing list does require active management. Just it’s a ballsy call.

I read something that their salaries will be the comparable to nz super rugby (but adjusted for the lower cost of living in Fiji).

Sooo probably not much.

According to Geoff Webster (back when he was in charge at Fiji) he pissed someone off in the upper echelons back when he was 18, had his card marked never to be selected.

Fiji loss for sure. Absolute Red win that one.

He was approached this year but is determined to play for the Wallabies.

This is music to my ears - I fully expect Uru to cement a spot in the Reds' starting XV next year, and well and truly in the fray for the gold jersey. A standout player who is blossoming with every minute of game time he gets

Cement a spot?

Who’s spot?

 

[LeCheese]

Cement a spot?

Who’s spot?

That's the only question... Definitely not complaining about having some depth though - hopefully the battles for position will result in good performances all round

Whilst I don’t doubt Uru talent

Perhaps he is on the bench because of that versatility he offers. 4, 5, 6, 8 - fair to say he could play those 4 positions.

If I was a betting man and Uru was to crack the starting lineup then it’s going to happen in the second row. Only way I see him taking someone spot in the back row is unfortunately by injury.

 

[RugbyReg]

Uru and Droasese re-signed through 2023 with Lawson Creighton on for next year.

 

[Adam84]

Uru’s obviously a good signing, the other two offer squad depth but don’t expect them to be much more then that

 

[upthereds#!]

Wasnt there something about ASY (Angus Scott-Young) thinking of doing study overseas (horwillesque)?

Thus most likely open to moving there if he can play rugby then move back into studies.

He started a Doctor of Medicine at UQ last year, so unless it's an international opportunity as part of that (which I imagine would be particularly unlikely given the current COVID situation), I doubt he'd look to move abroad until he's finished in a few years

From Cordingley:

"Importantly both Ilaisa and Seru qualify for Australian representation now, so we are really proud of the contribution that our Fijian-born Reds are making to Queensland Rugby."

 

[The Nomad]

So Uru resigned.

From the front page of this thread you have Liam Wright , ASY (Angus Scott-Young) and Wallis with contracts ending this year.

Wilson and McReight have contracts already inclusive of next year, as does TTT.

We have a stacked back row progression , but someone you think will miss out.

The priority should be 2/4/5 and 10.

 

[dru]

So Uru resigned.

Nomad, splitting hairs perhaps, but there is a world of difference between:
a) re-signed; and
b) resigned

Indeed there is , hopefully the general vibe got picked up on.
