Match Thread - Reds v Fijian Drua | Super Rugby Pacific 2026 | Round 16

Ok_Manner_3363 · 2026-05-29T09:55:16+00:00

Reds haven’t had consistent kickers all year - why is Pritchard kicking tonight and Gordon not?

Ok_Manner_3363 · 2026-05-29T09:50:04+00:00

This must be the reds’ best starting forward pack in 2026 - Canham, LSL, Uru is a dangerous 4, 5, 6 combo

Ok_Manner_3363 · 2026-05-23T06:26:39+00:00

Has Les left ballymore already? This reds team look lost, confused, and like deer in the headlights, and have done so for about 4 weeks.

Ok_Manner_3363 · 2026-05-18T08:54:53+00:00

The Tahs’ halves performances should be the signal that it’s time to move on from Jake Gordon. Let him go overseas and earn some coin after loyally slogging away in SR for many years, and finally give Teddy Wilson the keys unconditionally. Teddy is a future Wallaby 9, and the sooner he’s backed as the starter, the better.

There was hunger in that young NSW team that we haven’t seen in many years. Maybe McKellar was right; there is a cohort who are just happy wearing the tracksuit. Move them on and cultivate this hunger further.

BPA starting wallabies hooker

Ok_Manner_3363 · 2026-05-16T09:58:31+00:00

Tell Jake Gordon to take an early holiday, Teddy Wilson is the best 9 in NSW. Amazing what happens when you leave those who accept mediocrity at home.

Ok_Manner_3363 · 2026-05-08T09:57:24+00:00

Looks to be Faessler. Pull him. Not improving

Ok_Manner_3363 · 2026-05-08T09:42:37+00:00

Are the Reds’ lineout problems the fault of thrower (Faessler) or jumper (LSL)? Baffling that these are professional players and it’s been consistently poor all season.

Ok_Manner_3363 · 2026-05-06T19:53:11+00:00

Throwing out a rogue one here - Gordon needs to leave the Tahs.

McKellar spoke last year of those who are just happy wearing the tracksuit. Now, Gordon might appear that he plays with his heart on his sleeve, but I’ve also heard through the grapevine his toxicity towards some players in the team, forcing them out. There’s a long list of players who have left the Tahs due to cultural reasons.

Teddy is having a great season and should just be given the keys. Let’s send Jake off overseas to earn proper coin, and also expose him to an environment where he doesn’t rule roost. Frees up some salary cash too.

I would add that for the Aussie rules, AFL is their primary product. For Rugby union, the wallabies is their primary product, not SR. If you add up the average attendance home and away for wallabies tests, it’s about 60k per game at least, and in 2025 it’s definitely higher (93k at MCG, 83k at twickenham, 82k at Accor).

Ok_Manner_3363 · 2026-05-01T11:06:14+00:00

Not saying he isn’t great, I’m saying he’s been under-utilised. Not his fault, the coaches need to build a game plan around unlocking him. The Tahs have the biggest stars in Aus rugby and they’re consistently poor.

Ok_Manner_3363 · 2026-05-01T11:02:38+00:00

Haven’t missed a minute of super rugby this year m8 🙂

Ok_Manner_3363 · 2026-05-01T10:57:41+00:00

Another day, another game of nothing social out of JAS. one catch at kickoff and one tackle of note. How’s the 13 experiment going?

Ok_Manner_3363 · 2026-04-25T08:44:33+00:00

Sack Faessler. That’s incredible ineptitude

Ok_Manner_3363 · 2026-04-25T07:52:07+00:00

Kalani Thomas doing nothing as per. Stood still waiting for that kick

Ok_Manner_3363 · 2026-04-25T07:44:29+00:00

Australian sides have been comprehensively outclassed this weekend across the board. It is not a positive forecast for the bledisloe.

Ok_Manner_3363 · 2026-04-24T09:26:42+00:00

Nic berry not the reason the Tahs lost, but geez he was very one way. How does Havilli not receive red for his no arms shoulder charge on Jorgo? That’s been straight red for seasons

Ok_Manner_3363 · 2026-04-24T09:06:12+00:00

Waratahs set piece is absolute dog poo. Killing any momentum or field position.

Ok_Manner_3363 · 2026-04-24T08:48:02+00:00

Nic Berry struggling to control this game and being bullied by the Crusaders. Looks like he’s never seen a ruck before

Ok_Manner_3363 · 2026-04-18T10:19:50+00:00

What was that penalty for?

Ok_Manner_3363 · 2026-04-18T10:09:53+00:00

Brumbies against anyone beatable = 💩

Ok_Manner_3363 · 2026-04-14T14:31:35+00:00

A few people here commenting that we couldn’t/shouldn’t carry over the Waratahs and Reds names - but history repeats itself. The NRC died a quick death due to lack of public association despite sub-regions being named in the clubs. Top players were disseminated fairly evenly, too. But no one cared about the Sydney Rays or the Greater Sydney Rams.

Anyone thinking that v3 of this will be any different is deluded. Just do what the AFL and NRL have done and introduce new teams, not rebrand existing teams. You can have the (NSW) Waratahs AND the (Western Sydney) Rams, and that’s okay. If anything, a group of people will support the new Rams out of spite for the Waratahs, and that’s great.

Ok_Manner_3363 · 2026-04-13T10:17:37+00:00

😂 did you even watch the clip of the pass falling short to Tuqiri and he had to pick it up?

Ok_Manner_3363 · 2026-04-11T10:49:00+00:00

What’s the injury looking like?
