Unless there has been some mass exodus in the lower grades then I think only about 2-3 blokes who would be considered Premier standard fled Yoku for Shaw Rd. The impact of players leaving has actually been minimal at this stage I believe, not as many gone to Souths or Norths as people first...

I would think if you go back to the Reds threads from 2012 up until now you'll find Schatz name pops up quite a bit, mostly from blokes saying he isn't up to S15 level and has reached his potential. I can't help but think if his shortcomings have been noticed for 3+ years then maybe there is...

Richard Graham probably sent Tui an encouraging text before his last game, therefore, I still blame the Reds.

Any one know if there was a massive plunge in wooden spoon betting before the news of the Titans blokes emerged? I notice they are now $101 to win the NRL Premiership. I remember a few years ago, in the hours leading up before the Storm salary cap scandal came out there was copious amounts of...

Still very early to call but Frisby may play himself into the RWC squad if he continues to show some consistency around the field in different positions. He's probably 4th string halfback option behind (in no order) Genia, Phipps and White. But if he manages to get a few more opportunities at...

I went to Fiji for a holiday earlier this year and loved it. This would be a good excuse to head back over. Hope it happens.

I haven't seen the Highlanders play this year but if their style is anything like the last few years then yes, I agree the Reds do seem to counter them well. The guys look solid in set piece and are make their ruck presence felt, which are the areas where the Highlanders try to exploit for...

That's good to hear Filth. Brothers with a strong forward pack will be dangerous. I've heard the numbers in colts are decent as well which is a good sign. GPS are looking a bit under-done in the grades at the moment but I'm sure a few clubs are in the same boat due to the weather. Having only...

Apparently all games GPS v Brothers at Albany Creek have been called off. Whether they will try and find a venue for the Premier trial I'm not sure.

A few years ago guys on this forum were talking about Schatz hitting his ceiling fairly early on. I think he gave the illusion of improvement in 2014 due to the fact he was working hard on a losing team. I can definitely see him falling out of the 23 this year though with Thomson, Browning...

I like that team, good to see JOC (James O'Connor) and Thomson. My only concern is the center pairing again. Kerevi and CFS just didn't seem to click for me. We shall see though. Johnson coming off the bench to play 12 and pushing Kerevi to 13 I reckon could be a good move in the second half.

If the weather holds up i'd be very surprised if majority of clubs are able to train on Thursday night which would further disrupt preparations, especially considering during trials most selections are still up in the air.

If some weather reports are to be believed, Suncorp may be underwater by the time Saturday rolls around. Heaviest rainfall probably going to occur Thursday and Friday. When are the Force supposed to be flying in to Brisbane? Are they already here? I'd imagine air traffic around the airport...

Not trying to reign on Kotze's parade (or anyone here pumping him up) but I'm not so sure hes the best long term option at lock for the Reds. Yes, he's been in good form since the NRC final and is going through a nice patch and getting decent minutes but I think you'll find he can be very...

I was going to use the exact same reference. Poor Dallan was thrown right into the deep end and it just went to show that being the best player in clubland doesn't mean you're ready for the big show. The Reds really do need to stick with an experienced head to help steer them through this...

Sorry legaleagle but I'm not in the loop as much as I'd like to be at the moment. Can't say exactly who is running around although I have heard a few of the older heads, mostly from Prem Reserves, have hung up the boots. I daresay it will only be a matter of weeks until they get the itch and...

Gps vs Brothers at Albany Creek, no cover charge at the door ;)

10. Duncan 12. JOC (James O'Connor) 13. Kerevi 15. Hunt Wingers: whoever, they're all pretty good Maybe we'll be able to score a try with that back-line o_O

I think the Reds desperately need to shake up the 10/12/13 combination for this game. If Hunt is going to stay at 10 then I believe a ball-playing 12 is a must if the backline is going to fire. Depending on availability i'd like to see either JOC (James O'Connor), Ant or Taps playing there with Kerevi at 13...

I was thinking the same thing BR. A lot of guys on this forum were calling Big Kev 'the heart and soul of Queensland rugby', now he goes and plays like a mental patient and suddenly he should be reprimanded and put out to pasture.
