Some discussion in parts of the Reds fans of swapping JOC (James O'Connor) and Stewart. It is a curious question but I don't think either is really a 10 - though the role is morphing into more contact, same busting through holes and kick pass, less game play with that role shared with 12/15.
Both Stewart and JOC (James O'Connor) fit that morphed 10 role. For me, Stewart is good enough to be potential international quality but has run close to the Hodge problem - jack of all trades. Stewart has time on his side and future development is something that the Reds should be behind. I don't think he has a chance internationally at 10, he may do at 12. So keep him there.
Stewart is another curiosity that has surprised many of us on his "Lazarus with a triple bypass". He continues to develop his work at 10 and will make the WBs not on his ability at 10 but 10/12 and generally in the backs.
Both options are workable - they way it sits is best.
We also need to see Jock back at 15. I don't mind Heggarty at all, but Jock could be something special.
Hopefully the Reds are starting to smooth out the line out problems. Also hope that Thorn is changing the kick-down to keep Toumua out of it. We ask for too much trouble with the way it worked in round 1.
Generally very happy with how the Reds players are settling, game-wise we just need to build that killer instinct.
