Reds v Highlanders

@taniwharugby exactly, Banks is similar for me, him coming off the bench isn;t going going to turn a game around, so he either starts as the "safe" options, kick for the corner, take 3 points when on offer...or not in the squad
-
I can't understand continuing to select Gregory on the wing. Seems it is a safe selection and prioritising defence down that corridor. The team needs to score tries. I'd prefer dropping Paea, putting Gregory at 12 and Dawai on the wing.

@Kiwiwomble would be nice to have Renton in place of Lentjes too (you know, someone who actually makes a positive impact instead of hangs on to the game by the skin of his teeth and throws in the occasional clanger). Then Lentjes comes on when Smith goes off, to take over the captaincy.

I miss this green jerseys. They should have made them the home jersey and been done with it.
dont know if your taking the piss as thats a minority opinion...but...i wasn't actually worried when they said Green would be our new home colours, would have made us unique, not all the green jerseys were "good"...but some were...and we've had some pretty average/generic blue jerseys over the years
@SouthernMann said in Reds v Highlanders:
I miss Jackson Hemopo. Was a shame he buggered off so early
agreed, i really rated him, really imposed himself on games
I deadset have the minority opinion. Those were choice shirts and separated the team from every team that couldn’t go past Blue but weren’t actually named ‘the Blues’.

I'm there with you, absolutely love the green jersey. Especially when we had Lomax charging it up.

I liked the green jersey too. Something different compared to the usual white. The current maroon away jersey is better though.
I didn't like the green initially, but it grew on me.
Agree that and the Maroon are good - the green is striking, but not traditional (yet). Was looking at the terrible jerseys that get put out and thinking that just because you can do anything on a jersey now in terms of design, that doesn't mean you should.

I really hope to see some improvements tonight from the landers... But that's my heart talking..
My head and TAB account says otherwise.. Hope I'm wrong -

I just see it full of water...

Highlanders are going to find it hard to overcome the home town reffing. Reds defence clearly offside, no call.
-
@antipodean offside is my pet peeve... Ruins the game if not policed well
-
How does Gregory even start in a Super team. Surely there are better wing options out there. He just looks so average.
-
How does he keep getting selected
