Kiss of approval as Reds look to get the best out of Harry Wilson
Les Kiss has given his Queensland Reds permission to push their limits in a move he thinks will set Harry Wilson free again.
The mercurial No.8 was a walk-up Wallabies pick in his first season of Super Rugby in 2020, playing 10 of 11 Tests before quickly falling out of favour under former coaches Dave Rennie and Eddie Jones.
He has managed just two Tests in the past three years, despite dominating for the Reds and winning two Player-of-the-Year gongs.
Kiss, who was replacing long-time coach Brad Thorn, could sense the 24-year-old's frustration when he arrived at Ballymore last year.
"When I first met him I could see a driven young man who had impressed immensely through Super Rugby," Kiss said ahead of Saturday's season opener against the NSW Waratahs.
"I see a man with a bit between his teeth."
Wilson, part of the Barbarians' European tour during last year's World Cup, worked on his support play and decoy running at club level in an effort to add strings to his bow.
But, after confessing he had gone into his shell in recent seasons, it's Wilson's hard running, footwork and eye-watering offloads that Kiss has encouraged back into his game.
"I want all the players to be skilful and smart, make good decisions," Kiss said.
"Harry's got some remit to have a go. There are boundaries and that's not for me to tell him. He'll find out, and that's football, isn't it?
"There's an old saying: great ball players were defined by the passes they don't throw.
"It's understanding when and why and how much value it gives you.
"But I do like my guys to find out. I'm more on the side of finding out than stepping away."
The Reds will be without veteran playmaker James O'Connor (hamstring) for Saturday's opener at Suncorp Stadium, while Angus Blyth (back) is also in doubt.
Harry McLaughlin-Phillips, still just 19, is in line for a debut either off the bench or starting in the No.10.
The Reds comfortably beat the Waratahs in a trial game two weeks ago, but Kiss, a former Queensland State of Origin winger, said that meant nothing.

Fine wine and crypto do not always blend well, especially after a few drinks. I learned this the hard way after a record harvest at my vineyard. Swirling an old Cabernet under the stars, I was a financial connoisseur, my $720,000 Bitcoin wallet aging well for future returns. But the next morning, with a hangover as intense as my Merlion, I realized I'd forgotten my wallet password. Even worse, my recovery phrase, which I'd written down in my wine cellar notebook, had vanished. My eager new assistant had tidied up, mistaking my scribbled security notes for wine tasting spillage, and donated the entire book to the recycling gods. I dove into the garbage cans like a desperate sommelier searching for a quality grape but came up with broken dreams and soggy cardboard. Panic set in faster than cork taint. I faced the bitter truth: my digital fortune was bottled up tighter than a corked bottle with no opener. I sank into denial, questioning whether my future vineyard expansion would now be reduced to selling boxed wine. I panicked, pored over industry publications, and came across a wine industry newsletter that mentioned Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Their slogan, something playful about "decanting lost crypto," seemed like a sign from God. I contacted them, half-expecting snobbery or skepticism. What I received instead were tech wizards who tackled my case with humor and precision. Their team labored over my case like veteran sommeliers dissecting terroir. They painstakingly reconstructed transaction flows, timestamp records, and subtle wallet behavior. It was as if I was watching wine connoisseurs sniff out hints of blackcurrant and oak, but with algorithms and blockchain forensics. Each day, they provided updates with the finesse of tasting notes. “We’re detecting progress, notes of potential access, hints of password recovery on the finish.” Their creativity lightened my anxiety, and ten days later, they uncorked my digital vault. When I saw my Bitcoin balance restored, I nearly opened a bottle of my best vintage at 9 AM. My assistant and I shared a hearty laugh; he's still working for me, but now he labels my ledgers with "DO NOT TOUCH" in bold. My wine business is thriving thanks to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, and I have a new rule: passwords before Pinot. Cheers to their genius!
Go to commentsI made a costly mistake on Coinbase, sending $43,000 worth of Bitcoin to an incorrect address. The support team informed me that recovery was impossible.
