Reds 2022

[Cancelled Account]

Stewart and Flook will be key to nullifying Foketi and Perese. They are their attacking thrust.

Swinton and Wright both big chances of being unavailable. At least we have McReight (and I'd go Uru).

I would be tempted to put Paisami and Petaia in the centres. Is Paisami back in this week?

Campbell was immense. Wallabies 15. Refund Beale his airfares.
Quite surprised at this performance. Let’s hope he can keep this form.

I'm backing Jock to hold 15 against Petaia, which means the only shot Petaia gets is injury or backing up as Jock goes to 10. Which won't help him as it just builds Jocks claim.

Petaia will need to reconsider things whatever he thinks his opportunities are at the WBs he first has to find the opportunity at the Reds. Once (hopefully) Vunivalu takes his wing role, and Daugunu (hopefully) builds his wing role, Pertaia only has 13 to be considering. Which is awesome for the Reds, but Petaia needs to think about proper dedication if he want to oust Foketi.

Interesting times.

Campbell stays at 15. Petaia is not improving from game to game. Hit and miss, but more miss. Almost deserving a bench spot.

He makes wing for me, until Vunivalu is available. After that?

Oust Foketi by playing 13…? You mean ikatua as Foketi plays 12

Well corrected.

Good little interview with Creighton after his debut here:

Super Rugby: Lawson Creighton makes his Reds debut

Lawson Creighton made his long-awaited Super Ruby debut with the Queensland Reds on the weekend. He said it’s been a rollercoaster, after injury setbacks and a broken ankle. He said he was looking forward to it every time he “got to put the jersey on”. Press PLAY below to hear the full chat on...

Ok tahs on top - what a beautiful site for the tahs true believers (ie me and my 5 mates)

 

[emuarse]

I see the Force are struggling with 10 games played for no wins

I wonder if it will hurt more being last for a full season or going from first to last during a season?

SMH reporting LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) heading overseas

 

[RugbyReg]

yep all eyes on QPR I guess for the next most likely.

Wilson Blyth and Cooper Bridgeman the young brigade with Seru Uru and Tu Tuialima immediate depth behind Angus B and Ryan S. Conor Vest at a pinch. Is Ben Grant still around?

I'd be a lot more forgiving to Harry Hockings if he wanted come home now.

 

[Adam84]

Ben Grant in MLR, he had the height but not the grunt

 

[Wilson]

Particularly good timing for him with Frost leaving as well. Unless of course he wants to stay in Japan and earn residency.

I would love to have Hockings back.

Where is Frost going? I had hoped he would stick around. Think he has a very high ceiling much like Hockings

 

[Purce]

Disappointed if LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) goes however I have always felt he had one foot in the door and one out.

 

[PhilClinton]

The news all seems to be leaking today - have heard one of our hookers is LIKELY off interstate, but more so leaning towards Japan. Working through the details with an announcement not far off.

Not surprising when you consider all three of our currently contracted hookers are sitting outside the current Wallabies setup.

Panasonic in Japan apparently

social media indicates Matty Faessler is training with the Reds still and Mac Grealy seems to have a brace on his knee (not a big one)
