Rebels would look better if they didn't have handling errors. Reds have had plenty of chances.
Koroibete has a tremendous work ethic, always looking for work. Their scrumhalf is impressive too.

Every time I watch Thor play I kind of wish he had stayed in NZ. Just the type of prop the ABs need.
He's unbelievably mobile and has an amazing engine. Pity he often has tits for hands.

We have lots of mobile props in NZ. I've never seen anything from him that makes me all that disappointed we missed out on him.

I think his scrummaging is top notch too. He's arguably the best player in Australia atm.

Can you name a prop that can run like he does as well as scrummage as well as he does?

Agree to disagree. I can't think of any at his level.

Running in the open no, but I don't rate props too much on that scale, scrummaging yes - granted I haven't seen him this year in the Oz comp at all, but his scrummaging hasn't ever stood out for me previously.

He ain't bad in the scrum.
Fact is I want him to fail because mercenary, but he's delivering in all facets IMO.

I didn't say he was bad, but there's nothing about him that I miss, I prefer our props who scrum and hit rucks and make tackles. Plus, he's a Tongan playing for Oz so
