Kerevi and Paisami in the centres with a flyhalf who picks his moments would certainly be formidable.

We need a new captain for this one. That would likely be either Slipper or JOC (James O'Connor). JOC (James O'Connor) was very good as captain for the Reds but on the other hand isn't exactly finding running the back line easy at the moment. Slipper would have to go at least close to the full 80 but I'd back him to do that given...

Agreed. My comment pertains to what would be most ideal in terms of potential results but I am looking forward to being at Suncorp for that one.

Only 2 of the 5 games against nz sides at home is not ideal and likewise playing Moana and Drua at home may be an over capitalisation assuming their strength is on the lower end. Anyway Reds to win the whole thing only losing to the Force or something else typically Qld rugby.

It is possible to pass a concussion protocol test and then fail one hours/days/weeks etc later. Also they may be excluded from training which gives squad members an opening if coaching staff wants the team drilled together for as long as possible.

Ala'alatoa deserves a lot of the blame but it highlights the precariousness of the balance in selection of our props. Bell is a huge LHP and good around the park but when we have to bring Tupou on early and he goes down we are lacking some stodginess in technique at scrum. Slipper hasn't played...

Tighthead changing the bind to the arm of Slipper on impact. When Poite switched sides he doesn't do it and we win the penalty.

Levi was a couple of years above me at Brisbane Grammar. In his senior team we weren't all too flash as a team but he was so evidently better than everyone else; it was pretty clear that if he applied himself he'd go far. Anyway Levi was known for his love of shoes so one game a coach said if he...

We all work on sun lounges at the beach mate so it would make no difference

Is that the truly elite time of AEST or the lesser elite time of AEDT?

3. Kellaway 2. Cooper 1. Slipper

Do we know this? I thought he said he'd been rejected 4 times which would imply he has been trying for years. If I've missed something I apologise.

Jesus how's that for long term stability

Have you considered the possibility that those coaches know more about rugby and the relevant strengths of players than you?

Jesus christ. 85kg would be strongest in almost all gyms.

Absolutely brilliant achievement. Really hope they bring him on early. Cornelsen and I were at Grammar at the same time and while I never played a match with him (he was really good and I was not) I watched him run out for our 1sts each week and did get to run around with him during lunches...

Not a Brumbies fan but that second line up seems to have an incredible amount of risk with only marginal upside. Continuity would be counting for a lot with so few caps held by those two line ups.

Weren't you a lock? You never got screamed at by a prop under pressure for being weak as piss? Can't have just been me.

Others will be able to comment on his form but he's been on the bench for QLD a couple of times earlier in the year from memory and either got no minutes or next to no minutes. With Blythe on the bench we have no cover for our backrow at all unlike with Uru. Based on how exhausted Wright and...

Yep absolutely Smith has been very solid, we'd kill to have a Hocking for the bench (prior to alienating the entire squad).
