Yes but there is a difference between reacting and assaulting a player.
Drua 'shocked at racial abuse' as Lomani faces judiciary over Canham blow
You’re not wrong about a good coach resting however the Reds have Moana next week and then a bye so I would much rather Kiss play his best team and then rest some of the players against Moana (no offense but an easier game than the Brumbies) and then the remaining players getting the bye to relax.
Super Rugby teams week six: Foketi back after horror injury, Suli benched, Sam Carter set for debut, DMac rested
Full credit to the Force for their win, as a Reds supporter it was an awful game to watch. Force won that game by taking every opportunity and working harder than the Reds. The Reds were sluggish however the stats actually show the Reds had 9-5 clean breaks, 28-12 defenders beaten. 7-3 offloads and 95% of rucks won. The important thing was though the WF managed to turn essentially every opportunity into a score. We were in their 22 for about 5mins early in the first half but didn’t score and then WF quickly scored 4 off a couple of Reds mistakes.
Whilst I’m not overly worried for my Reds, I do want to congratulate the WF for a bloody good win .
Five things we learned: Schmidt's selection headache, Carter's a No.12 wildcard, and $1m Thor must step up
Hard to argue with too many of your selections, not surprising the Reds at topping most of their positions. The biggest one I disagree with is Liam Wright at 6, I’m very hopeful that Liam can stay injury free this season and that Schmidt selects him as I feel like he is far and away the best Aus 6. His breakdown work has allowed the Reds to have 60% LQB (as per Nick Bishop’s article), he is second for lineouts won and his tackles made is 91% for the comp (51/56).
Wallabies Power Rankings: How every Test contender is shaping up one month into Super Rugby
You are correct about Jordie being punished in the game, I’m not sure though if the judiciary panel takes any of that into consideration when determining the length of the ban. That is part of the issue as I don’t mind if they do consider these things as long as the are consistent and preferably more transparent.
Super Rugby teams: Rookie at 10 for Reds, DC dips into club footy in hooker crisis, Jorgo ruled out, White benched
My apologies, I thought Barrett was banned for 2 weeks. My point still stands about the lottery in regards to the length of the bans.

Its even more frustrating now that Sef received a 4 week ban as the argument that O’Keefe missed foul play from both teams (the high tackle and then the late tackle) is no longer valid. The high shot was punished and the Reds were told post game by officials the late shot should have been a yellow.
The thing that baffles me is that Sef received double the ban that Jordie Barrett got for his tackle on Petaia. I just wish they had any form of consistency on the cards and bans regardless of your team or your fabled last name.

Thanks for the wrap Geoff. In other news last week, the Reds announced they would be playing Wales at Suncorp on the 19th July. This was apparently supported by Wales to add a third game and the Brisbane Gov to encourage tourism.
Should hopefully be a cracker of a game and happy to know QRU is putting extra effort in.
The Wrap: The two massive power shifts shaping Australian and New Zealand rugby
Bloody good win boys. I was at the game and the 17,000 sounded a lot louder than that. Great performance for the forwards with the line out and scrum both firing brilliantly.
Funnily enough, it was 23 phases last year when we beat as well so maybe that is our lucky number.
'Over the moon': Reds deny Chiefs for 23 PHASES to win 'titanic' trans-Tasman clash as Kiss' revolution continues
I would definitely have a sook if Wright got injured again. The bloke has been injured for about 70% of the past couple seasons.
Fortunately, Holloway isn’t even good enough to hurt Wright. 😛
Five things we learned: Aussies given early Super Rugby warning, Lolesio's timely reminder
It wasn’t Leota, commentary got it wrong but you point still stands about Noah’s pace.

is that the Reds vs Tahs attendance maybe, you did say more than Melbourne?
The Wrap: Opening round of SRP a case of the more things change, the more they stay the same
At 75:45 you can see Holloway swing an arm pretty clearly into Liam Wright’s head. Pretty grub act especially considering Wright is at the back of a caterpillar ruck, meaning Holloway illegally entered the ruck just to hit him in the head (intentionally).
I reckon Holloway was just a bit sooky after being down 40-22.

Not too sure why Campbell isn’t starting, besides that though I would say its a full strength team. happy that Lynagh is starting and Nasser is back finally from injury.
Biggest worry is the scrum, in the trial it looked like Bell was dominating Nonggorr so will be interesting to see if that has changed. Should be a great game, Reds by 13.
Super Rugby teams round 1: Fresh Rodda blow, Tahs forced into backline move after Foketi drama
Very excited for this season with the Reds. Normally that just sets me up for disappointment later in the year but I’m hopeful this year will be different.
Not expecting to win/make the finals first year with Kiss but would consider it a great success if we finish the season with a winning record and/or make the semis.
All signs point to a Reds resurgence - if players can truly embrace the strengths of Les Kiss
I’ve been very impressed with McLaughlin-Phillips and am happy for him to start. I don’t want the Reds to try and rush his development though as he is only 19. I think splitting the game time between him and Lynagh would be best for the team and both of their developments.
Tahs suffer fresh injury blow ahead of Super Rugby season, Reds rookie favoured for No.10 jersey
Yeah, Ikitau is the better 13 IMO so this season should show if Hunter has the abilities to be the best 12 in Aus which I do think is possible. The Lomu comparison is just a bit of cheeky creative writing.
'Bit of a bully moment': The Lomu-esque try that confirmed Reds star is back to make Wallabies push
Have been really impressed with Paisami for both trials. Has always had the triple threat with his passing, kicking and running game all strong when he plays well. Hoping he can continue to improve and just maintain some consistency.

Happy with the Reds team, looks like essentially their full-strength team. Also will be interested to see how Miles Amatosero goes.
Hopefully, the Reds have worked on the ruck defence and they manage to beat the Tahs as this game and them beat them again in a fortnight.
Super Rugby teams: Reds name young gun for Tahs clash in front of Schmidt, Test halves to start against Wallaby-laden Brumbies
I don’t think Nonggorr was playing well enough to make a world cup squad, I think he has improved considerably comparted to the start of last year. Tupou getting injured allowed him to play more minutes however I think it was also a problem as it meant that Nonggorr didn’t have an experienced prop to teach him.
Thats why I’m really happy with Kiss as he managed to secure 2 experienced older props who will only improve Nonggorr. Was also really impressed with De Lutis in the game against the Wild Knights so exited to see him play a couple games and learn from the experienced props as well.
Forgotten element of Eddie's coaching that can help the Wallabies rise again - and the young gun who benefitted from heartache
Thanks for the article Nick. All these SR articles are getting me very keen for 2024 SRP. The best part is with no games being played all the Aussie sides are undefeated. Keen to see if Kiss can fix some of the Reds issues and they can remain playing as good as they have over the past couple weeks 😛
Pressure Points: The Kiss of life? Les has habits to shake at the Reds
I wouldn’t mind Fraser as captain however its a bit much to say Tate has entitlement and a what about me attitude. Tate has always been honest when losing and is always the first to say “we just weren’t good enough”.
'It's a clean slate': Wallabies star eager to put World Cup 'behind' as QLD Reds boss reveals key area to fix
One can only hope.

I always personally thought he played best on the wing. He has an X factor that allows to do these brilliant try-scoring plays a couple of times a game. The problem for me is OC does allow him to get more ball but it also limits the wings from receiving the ball as he is notorious for not passing or trying to do everything and throwing the miracle pass instead of just passing sooner.
The other issue with OC is for the Wallabies this season he kept doing that God-awful grubber kick straight into the opposition and essentially just giving away possession.
IMO play him on the wing so he can continue his X factor plays without limiting the rest of the team. If Kiss can coach him when and he plays better in another position I will happily eat my words.
'Was I really myself?': Campbell ready to seize chance after World Cup blow
“This is blatant obstruction. If refs are not going to crack down on it, expect players to react.” Fiwiboy’s comment implies that if the referee had done a better job Lomani wouldn’t of ‘had’ to assault the player.
That comment is taking the blame off Lomani and moving it to the referee (and Canham). This also implies it was a simple reaction to a bad referee’s call and not assault which it is in any other circumstance.
