Nobody is fast when their legs are swimming in a sea of lactic acid

Mowen has a similar skill set to Schatz, Higgers more so to Tui. Mowen and Higgers would probably be unnecessary if you a dead set on keeping Tui (which is the right thing to do I reckon). Personally I would keep Schatz (but tell him he's a 6 from now on) and buy Higgers. The real issue is we...

I'd be more enthused about a Cooper return than a Genia one probably, the reason being that'd from 2012-15 the Reds tended to struggle consistent without Cooper (particularly when Ben Lucas or Harris wasn't around to step in), less consistently without Genia. Now the Frisby is growing into the...

Non regulars who I would definitely expect to get proper squad representation of not capped (or further caps) in 2016 are Force: Coleman, Cottrell, DHP Rebels: Hanson, Weeks, Timani, Reid, stirzaker Inman (hopefully) and Hodge Brums: Ala'alatoa, Arnold Tahs: Holloway Reds: Neville, Gill...

Angus is good, but he is kind of a 5/6/8 hybrid. He's not a dead certainty to start every game in my mind by I would expect him to make the squad and contribute strongly

The others I think worth a squad look in are Scott-Young, Sorovi, Mac jones and hoc kings

The QLD boys I think are likely to (or probably should) start for the Aus side if available are Mafi, Tui, Tuttle, Mack Mason, Magnay and perhaps Fittock

Logan is an AMAZING catchment area for rugby and rugby league talent. From a rugby perspective it's almost completely untapped. Them getting a team in QPR is long overdue and in 7-10 years I think we'll all be thanking our stars it happened

The Badge in his first interview with 7's alluded that he's very keen on having a crack at 7's and thereafter would prefer to stay in Australia for the foreseeable future. Worth a chat with the Reds honchos?

The Reds don't NEED genia. The time of the pickle has arrived (fucking great game from him last night). If Genia wants to return to the Reds, it would have to be on a salary commensurate to his value to the organization RIGHT NOW (not 3-4 years ago). The pickle is doing well, and Genia MAY not...

I also heard that Jono Lance actually sounded out the Reds about a return before taking the Force offer. Seems like that should have been a no brainier but you never know with the QRU

Now that the 7's boys have played several tournaments and the half way point of the HSBC circuit is approaching, I think a speculative exercise is in order. The question is this, given what you have seen so far of the HSBC circuit and Super Rugby I want you to pick a team (7+4 or whatever the bench is)...

The Reds are fit after a good pre-season but have their 3 best forwards misusing and are toothless in attack. The Rebels should get up easily

If Ant Fainga'a was playing I would want him at 13 and Samu at 12.

Why would you put Samu at 12? At the current time his best position is 13, and Karmichael is probably better suited to do the 12 role that they seem to want than Taefu anyway. Karmichael at 12 with his communication/organizing skills and Ability to run hard lines may help to take a little...

Chronic pain from the neck is no joke. It can be very disabling. People have stepped away from less because of it. Hopefully Rod's condition can be effectively treated. Also hopeful that Frawley will do a good job and Carmichael displays better leadership and public relations than his most...

I'd rather study in England for a year than play for the Reds right now.

Or close to it. Not big for a Super Rugby forward which makes his play all the more impressive

Cummins is a line out jumping forward in 7's who can play on the edge. He will be used similarly to how they used Jesse Parahi and Ed Jenkins.

I'd rather they kept Leroy and we grabbed A.Mafi. That dude is a wrecking ball
