Reds 2022

I reckon I saw more from Creighton than Grealy in the trials. As has been reported they are keen to see him be a Hegarty type.

Probably the game to debut him then. Not my pick for a utility back at Super Rugby level.

So, so glad we got Jeans on the bench ahead of Thomas.

Agree completely, I rate Spencer as a legit back up to Tate, but I think Kalani will get one more chance to show he's the first cab off the rank.

Perhaps not

The halves always touch the ball more and it’s their responsibility to feed to their runners. Obviously wasn’t doing his job if we didn’t see much of Grealy.

Creighton would have debutd last year if it weren’t for his injuries, he is held in high regard at the club.
He is there for his utility value as well, Grealy is a fullback only whereas Creighton can play 10/12/15

except Grealy was fullback the first game and somewhat master of his own destiny.

And Grealy was mostly winger in the first half in Roma outside JOC (James O'Connor) at 10.

Big sponsorship announcement coming today, sounds like a good one:

Badly needed, lets see the $ amount

 

[PhilClinton]

Reds obviously feel they've got enough fullback cover on the field with JOC (James O'Connor), Stewart and Petaia all capable of dropping back if necessary. Creighton can play there off the bench or flyhalf.

I notice the Reds website no longer has a page with player information, they simply list all the players with a photo, which is shame. I was trying to find details around player heights. Even though most of them wear their platform shoes for those measurements, Grealy looks undersized in what is already quite a small backline. That might not be helping his selection prospects.

Don’t Westpac own St George, would seem odd for St George to end their deal and Westpac to take it over

Not necessarily, St George have moved to a community sponsorship role and are still there, Westpac could be looking to speak to an entirely different market in the name sponsor spot

I know westpac use to sponsor Adelaide and Collingwood but ended both deals saying they were getting out of sports sponsorship. Who ever it is it is just great news that you have a sponsor.

Thanks Reg, I missed the email. Might go have a look

 

[Jamie]

Indeed, it was looking pretty gloomy before a few weeks ago, but at least most of the team will have sponsors. Not only that the Rebels and the Force, in particular, have really good deals.

We need all of our teams firing both on the field and $$$$

Thanks Reg, I missed the email. Might go have a look

need me to forward it to you??

 

[Wilson]

What time can we expect the announcement Reg?

 

[RugbyReg]

11:30am

I have it, just didn't notice it this morning. Thanks

If its Westpac then that is fantastic
