I love Horwill as a captain, he's as passionate as it gets. He leads by example and is great from a PR perspective. BUT, sometimes he does let the emotions get the better of him in his on-field decisions. Last night is a key example. Fair enough going for the line when the maul was dominant...

Just a few thoughts on the props. Alexander and Slipper have been the best props this season. Palmer has his moments, great scrummager but is not really offering much else (although he can, he isn't right now). Robinson has been improving but the jury is still out IMO. Slipper has been...

Fair points, Gill & Smith were fairly even, but I thought Gill edged him slightly, but I can see your point, it was very close. In regards to Speight I thought he was fairly quiet, whilst Rocket had a lot of involvements, that's the only real reason for that selection.

Apart from the 2011 Grand Final, I cannot remember being so exhausted from watching a football game. As a Reds fan I am quite frustrated as we had so many opportunities, but at the same time I acknowledge the great defensive display from the Brumbies. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say these...

Shane Williams for his speed out of a step. Best I've seen, his acceleration was remarkable.

We have 5 quality wingers in the squad. And none of them have fired to their potential this season. Digby is a world class player and even when he has an average game it is pretty good in comparison to most wingers. F'Sautia, Shipperely, Davies & Morahan, whilst not playing bad, have not...

Luke Jones and Hugh Pyle are both awesome. I have no idea why Deans doesn't want to give them a gig. I rate them higher, or at least on par with, Timani and Douglas, and Simmons (although he's been good recently)

Personally I think the Reds backrow works better as a unit, hence why Gill probably doesn't stand-out as much as George Smith does. Mowen, Auelua and Smith are a good backrow, don't get me wrong, but as a unit Quirk/Gill/Shatz works better together. I would argue as far as workrate as a unit...

Izzy Dagg is going to be having nightmares of Ed Stubbs. That Walton is the scariest looking human I have ever seen. Just keep playing him for pure fear factor.

Five?! Really? Visser, Gray....... Euan Murray and Laidlaw maybe? Scott Hogg?

O'Connor is not a 10. Very talented, but he is a great ball runner and much better when he plays as a second reciever. Should be at 15 for the Walllabies.

Liam Gill vs George Smith......(salivates uncontrollably) Scrubber to say Smith is the best "by far" shows you haven't been paying much attention to Gill's form lately. Smith has been the best, but Gill isn't too far behind, and Hooper will be lucky if he is chosen as our no.1 openside for the...

My thoughts from Easts vs Souths Good crowd despite the weather. Game was fairly dull, given the conditions both teams resorted to kicking, which I thought Souths were far superior at. Tigers did well to come back and win at the death, but I think they were very lucky, Souths were probably the...

I thought he was very poor defensively. Both his tries would of been scored by any good winger, he hasn't proven anything to be considered above Ioane, Shipperely or F'Sautia when all are fit.

Great game of rugby, I can watch Reds vs Chiefs every week for the whole season, turn it on everytime. Shatz, Gill and the whole tight 5 were immense. They won us that game. Hanson and Shatz showing Deans they should have been in that squad. Quade was OK, I didn't think he did anything...

Could not agree more, and it isn't the biased QLDer coming out in me. None of those players deserve to be named in the squad. If Tapuai gets ommitted that is a crime. At least it appears Deans has finally realised that the Brumbies do have some pretty good players running around.

I like Easts team this week, interesting that they have changed the entire front row (Ready the only forced change). Great to see Luke Bertini back in the team as well, hopefully he doesn't take too long to return to the form he had before he was injured last season. I also noticed no one has...

Never been to high on Simon Morahan, I think there is plenty more deserving players out there. Danny Routledge for example, really underrated and is currently in the Reds College. Rex Tapuai is another, but I think he is too old to be considered. Lachlan Creighton from Brothers has had big wraps...

Not saying I expected Robbo to play this week, and I know he only played 40 minutes for Souths, but I think he adds much more then Samo (who I am not a fan) and Buttler (who I am a big fan). I do agree that there will probably be a 5:2 split. With Buttler and Samo/Robinson on the bench.

Shaky on Rod Davies, obviously we have injuries there and F'Sautia isn't a 100% fit, but Davies has not played a good game since that semi-final against the Blues in 2011. I even thought he looked off in the minutes he had the other week. Hopefully next week we will see Beau Robinson's name...
