One question: Palmer is rated quite highly as an emerging tighthead. Why was he and Baxter (who started life as a loosehead) not swapped for this match if both were starting?

3/ Genia 2/ Daley 1/ Houston

Davies out with hammy injury. Va'aulu in with Morahan on the bench.

http://wwos.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=1043558 While I know this may get put in the "other" forum, it will be interesting to see the fallout and how it plays out with Brian Waldron, the Storm CEO while this was happening and new Rebels CEO.

I feel myself agreeing with Cyclo. Do have great memories of that '04 Tahs/Brumbies game though, who knows maybe that could happen again?

He fired some ripper passes on Saturday too, and I remember the deft ball he turned inside to Hynes for Morahan's try against the Force. I would like to see him in the squad so Jim Williams can give him some tips.

Haha yeah an interesting end. Saw you running around in your hat but with all the commotion at the end I decided to get on the bus asap. Will say hello down at Waterloo Park later in the season. Seconds were impressive in our first proper game. I got on in the last 15 or so and went to openside...

Totally stoked at the result. Had to stop watching about 55m in but when I found out the result I was just estatic. Repaying the faith. GO THE REDS!

Haha sames, but I've got a big quota. Both teams need to start putting it through the hands.

Harlequins firsts had a good win against Fairvale, who weren't able to field a second grade side, so we had a 11 on 11 game which was bloody hard work in the sun at 2pm. Travel out to face Rouse Hill this weekend (NTA's old team?) and from what I've been told it's going to be a tough one.

Mowen is probably the least destructive out of all the candidates, and he already gets driven back too regularly in S14.

It may be a rumour but I heard today Sunny Coast had been propped up by a wealthy businessman who has some injected some serious cash to fill out their playing roster with the ANZC players. Anyone heard this?

Have you watched any Reds games this year bar v the Tahs? Hynes hasn't been going the "safety first approach", he's been running it more often than not and making yards.

Reds to play Lions: Peter Hynes, Rod Davies, Will Chambers, Anthony Fainga'a, Digby Ioane, Quade Cooper, Will Genia (captain), Leroy Houston, Daniel Braid, Scott Higginbotham, Van Humphries, Rob Simmons, Laurie Weeks, Saia Fainga'a, Ben Daley. Reserves: Sean Hardman, Greg Holmes, Ezra Taylor...

"McKenzie said there were no serious injuries to the Reds from the game." From QRU website. Phew.

Pretty similar to Spook, but I only woke up for second half. 3/ Cooper 2/ A Finger - really put his body on the line in defence 1/ Ioane - should he be 13 or on the wing?

There's been contention over one ruck at the end but I can't see one post blaming the ref for loss? Sharks deserved their win but, like Ash, I couldn't believe they went for line when they got that penalty near the end and it nearly cost them.

Oh and Ioane looked injured at the end. Would be a bummer if it was his shoulder. Didn't see the first half but he needed to go to 13 and get his hands on the ball earlier in the second half, made metres every time he had the pill.

Yeah they really needed the win there, but had so little ball in the second part of the second half. Geez would like to see a reply of the last ruck where the ball popped out into the sky thanks to Ndungane...

Maybe but jeez that chip kick out of his own 22 was silly.
