You are right about one thing, neither Thorn nor anyone at the Reds management takes notice of opinions and posts on this platform. And it’s highly unlikely that any players do either.
what is interesting, is that it seems fine to have pro comments about many other players, and make selection comments about other players, but when someone is supportive or “pro Henry”, it’s a talking point.
I can guarantee this is incorrect

Hello Reds management - I would really like the price of beer to come down at Suncorp. Please help where possible.

You didn't say anything about advice or help. Reg simply responded that people at the Reds organisation are aware of our opinions. Doesn't mean they listen to us armchair experts, but they are aware of us!

We’ve all got favourites, no problem with that at all.
I just find it interesting when a player keeps getting nominated and the incumbent questioned over close to a two year period. Henry got a crack at 12 last year and Stewart’s form wasn’t all that great at the time. Right now though I’d say Stewart is in very good form, the variation our 10/12/13 are providing in attack is the best it’s been in quite some time.
There was also mention of Paisami not wanting to play 12 some time ago and he has gone onto wear Wallaby Gold in that position since. They are not my words , all there in the post history if you care to have a look.
I personally think it’s great we have options.
Stewart , Paisami, Henry and Creighton all capable of playing 12 and similarly Paisami, Petaia and Flook all capable of filling the 13 jersey. Fantastic options to have.

reg said they do take notice. (To take notice is to listen to.) there is a difference between “being aware of” and “take notice of or listen to”
I asked how.
I also asked, “you think they need advice or help from a bunch of rugby wannabes??

I think it was universally agreed on this forum that the Reds needed to conduct a world wide search for the best possible coach, the Reds took this advice and hired Richard Graham.

For goodness sake this is a silly discussion. There are not many generally informed fan opinion sites that really give cover to the Reds. They’d be mad not to monitor the place.
Reg isn’t saying anything revolutionary here.

Sooooo what are people's thoughts on the Vunivalu situation? Currently a truckload of money spent for zero return.
IMHO he will have to come out of the blocks firing, and last the rest of the season without injury, to justify another contract anywhere near his current one.
Will his value have come down to the NRL given his lack of footy since 2020 and his increased injury toll? Will that allow us to keep him at a lower price? Word is that Souths(?) Really wanted him but couldn't get the cash together to buy him out of his current contract?
I'm wondering what all this could mean for his contract negotiations. Seem to have been whispers since he came across that he was looking at going back to Loigue. Not necessarily a new trend with them but seems to have been more than usual.
I saw him in 1 game at suncorp last year and he was the most athletic player on the field. No doubt. We just need him fixed and committed to spend that kind of dosh on him again... I think.

I’m not sure it’s as simple as that. I was a great critic of Stewart at 10, and he was not a traditional 12 neither. In terms of rugby “memes” the bloke breaks the mold. He is a fabulous rugby player, possibly even to WB standard, but he doesn’t fit a lot of standard thinking of roles and combinations.
Reds have found a niche for Stewart, in a group of players that click and work together. Not simply in terms of relationships, but in terms of rugby outcomes.
And the result is good enough to justify the Reds loyalty to a great player. It always worked, but now we have something quite extraordinary. The result is by no way simply about Stewart, but total is far bigger than the sum of the parts. It’s impressive.

That doesn’t work. Henry changed managers when he approached the Reds. It is doubtful that a former manager would be attempting to talk up player he doesn’t manage.
EDIT. On a second thought, the comments are bloody ridiculous that is makes Henry look like a tool.
