I massively worry about Schmidt’s legacy eroding. I think Les is a good coach but might not be quite ready to take on an environment where every game is the most important one. Anyway different thread discussion.

Meanwhile perhaps the Reds shouldn’t have fought so hard to keep him.

Fellas. It’s a trial comp loss.
I know people refer to his entire resume being void of silverware but was the Wallabies Job also hotly contested? Felt like O’Gara used it as a bargaining chip and everyone else was a recycle like Lancaster.

My comment was a more general one but your second sentence above is not assuaging my worries.

it’s not really a trial comp. It was a fully capped game. Against our biggest rivals. And we didn’t show up. Like they haven’t on most of their recent games.

Just trying to not be sky falling in mode. The same as the Tahs aren’t or shouldn’t rate themselves as world beaters after 1 game.

I didn't watch too much, but jeez there is some raw backrow size in Talataina and that Franz fellow at no.8 Yes lost a lot of wallaby gold over the last couple of years in Hanigan, Swinton, Leota and now Gleeson - but between those fellas and Amatosero, it made the Reds look like boys.
I am a reds guy but not thrilled having Uru and Vest as the locks....they are NOT locks and its concerning the Reds have none in the pipeline behind Canham & LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) now they've lost Blyth (which seems like a silly move now for him) and Smith

There a couple genuine gems in the system but they are likely 3-4 years away from being effective starting options.
I’d be going hard at getting Smith back with all the Welsh teams up in the air.

they do indeed but too young at the moment. They need Super Rugby ready ones.
Reds recruitment needs to kick into over drive.

Commentator couldn’t tell the difference between Jock and Ryan. He called the wrong name in the chase.

Talataina was very good. Mix of athleticism and nice hands.
Yeah need to hope LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) and Canham stay fit otherwise gonna be a struggle match it with teams next year.
Really like the look of Latu though. Appears to have a big motor. Can see him doing a good job off the bench.
Injuries brings opportunities so wonder who goes to fullback with Campbell out. Hope Massimo didn’t do something major.
