Round 6 - Reds v Waratahs - Suncorp

[Braveheart81]

Bottom line is there loss is a Qld gain in a big way. I trust Thorn's appraisal especially of locks.

He's still a fringe Super Rugby player.

While lock was a debacle for the Tahs last season, it's looking pretty good this season (despite some injury issues currently).

Especially with Hanigan on the way back (a real lineout option (on attack and defence))

 

[Brumby Runner]

He didn't get anywhere near Aus Schoolboys, was more of a late bloomer who made his name at Norths

Pretty sure he also had time with the Aus U20s side. Could be mistaken, but yes, he was a strong performer at Norths.

I don't think many saw Vest's Super Rugby pathway being at the Reds. They already had two blokes in ASY (Angus Scott-Young) and Uru who are in that lock/flanker limbo space in terms of size and abilities. Obviously Vest has found his way into the side though due to some injuries and I hope he does well enough to keep a squad spot for the next few seasons.

its about making the most of your opportunities which I am sure he will.
Compare this to some of the "entitlement" attitude we see and I know the type of player I would have in my team.

Dave Porecki has been named captain of the Waratahs for the first time.

The throwing around of the Captain title is diluting its honour.

The captain (Jake Gordon) is injured and the replacement captain (Jed Holloway) is on the bench. Porecki is the third player to captain the side this season.

Meanwhile, the Reds have had four different captains this year by my count.

Glad to see Vest get selected and the opportunity to stick it to DC

Whatever the tahs perspective is on it Vest has certainly taken the rejection as motivation.

In general. Not an attack on the Tahs by any means.

I think we had 4 in one game

Wet weather footy!!

 

[Up the Guts]

A little bit of rain and no crowd shows up, so much for “Queensland spirit”.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Holy murderpants Batman, that rain is biblical.

Looks like the Eden Park test of 1976.

 

[Up the Guts]

At least the Tahs’ four supporters turn up to home games rain, hail or shine

 

[Derpus]

Jeez it aint a strong line up
