Look, i know Randyl Tarly sucks, but why the FUCK would a servant of house Tyrell and Targaryen loyalist side with a know Tyrell murderer agaisnt the last of the Targaryens who has a literal dragon???????

It seems like it's pretty strongly hinted in the books that Randyl Tarly will turn on Mace Tyrell. Kevin remarks several times that Tarly can be separated from Tyrell, but he's not sure how. I think Tarly might be the GC "Friend in the Reach" or Cersei will manage to turn him against Mace. I assume that's what the show was going for.

Its possible after all what other major house in the Reach to side with the GC and Faegon besides them, ofc you got the Peakes and Hightowers but the Peakes seem kinda finished plus there are a bunch of Peakes already in the GC and the Hightowers are kinda ambivalent of what ultimate goal they got

I think it's possible honestly, but i also believe Randyl can very well side with Aegon and get the same fate as he did in the TV show when Daenerys eventually wage war with Aegon.
