I think we can put the Tate and Jake debate to bed for once and all, Tate is well ahead after the 3 games and will provide excellent back up to White when he comes back from injury . I would have him and The Thor coming on with 25-30 to go to create havoc

One player is super rugby level = Grealey, one player bloody good premier rugby player = Carroll . Apparently Carroll very good cricketer as well.

In horse racing terms Gordon should be better for the run. If he doesn’t run well second up and performs as poorly as last week , I’m not willing to back him again. It’s not as if we are playing the top notch sides being France B. He has only played a few tests however I’m yet to see anything...

You are being generous

Terrible defence by Gordon just ran straight past where he should of been defending

Well I’m a great judge, I had Fraser in the Wallabies squad and now he has been banished to clubland. Can’t even make the Qld 23 man squad, very strange selection.

Any thoughts on who we could get as a back up scrum half to Tate, very thin on the ground ATM. I haven’t really seen anything of Moses so just not sure where his form at. Any good prospects at QPR level?

Yeh you are probably right there, he will be part of the wider squad and would come straight into the team if Hooper is injured

From a reds point of view Thor, LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto), Wilson,JOC (James O'Connor) are walk up starts, Paisami, Vunivalu, Daugunu, should go close. Mcreeight to bench, good to see Tate back to his best form as he was slipping behind Gordon, who is a standout for the Waratahs. If Gordon gets the bench spot I hope they don’t make...

Excellent all round performance by the starting 15, which is what we saw in Rugby AU, a number of our starting 15 are playing at an international standard. good to see Henry given a go at 12, I haven’t seen him play much but my gut feel was he has more to offer than Stewart, which based on last...

Hamish Stewart has been caught well short in both games against the NZ sides and especially against the Saders, just doesn’t have the smarts or size to compete at this level at 12. Not sure who is available however will be a liability if he plays there again this week. Perhaps his best position...

Good sides win at the business end of games. Brumbies are making a habit of losing them, Reds are making a habit of winning them. Reds still have a long way to be regarded as a really good side however this trait of winning games at the death is a really good trait. Well done to them.

After watching West’s yesterday I’m convinced they should be easily a top 4 contender. Their forward pack is massive and easily handled Brothers forwards. Gordon and Henry have both bulked up as well. Both sides were rusty first half however West’s pulled away with some good play in the second...

Absolutely pumped for Andy Muirhead, watched him play for South’s in Brisbane a few years ago and then accepted the journeyman position at Brumbies’s , has played out of his skin last few years. Well done to him.

Geez u would never trust trial form would you

As real Estate becomes dearer and dearer the mid to outer northern suburbs of Brisbane/Moreton Council suburbs will fill up with young rugby players. ‘Norths’ is 8 km north of CBD , growth areas full of aspiring rugby players are 30 plus km north of CBD. Huge growth potential, I know ‘Norths’...

I I rate the West’s 10 as suggested in an earlier post in prems . Give the kid a red hot crack in Colts, it is U20’s now so a few more experienced players running around here as well. Will help his development enormously esp if West’s colts team does well.

Nick Chapman heading to Sydney to train with Aussie 7’s. Good luck to him trialing for the Olympic’s. Fantastic Premier grade footy player, hopefully he can take the next step up.

I hope he’s back early as we don’t have the depth , however just don’t get the hype around him. I have been completely wrong before however.

I could be completely wrong however can’t remember Gregan, Farr-Jones etc have great box kicks. Maybe the game has changed heaps and this is crucial for a half having a great box kick , however doesn’t make much sense to me u pick your half on the quality of your box kick. I would pick Tate...
