CB was very very good against the crusaders. It really just depends what you want out of the back row. Thomson could easily come in for Schatz too but I doubt that will happen. Based on history, I wonder if the best call is to go with a 6/2, with the bench being made up of 16. Hanson 17. Daley...

I wasn't comparing the two as rugby players. Digby was and may very well still be better. There are some very significant differences, but I think you'll find that in terms of "quickness" there isn't actually much between them. CFS is a kid I've watched for a very long time and his historically...

BUT THE BRUMS ARE SHOCK FULL OF WALLABIES!!!!! In all honesty I expect the teams to line up as follows Reds Brums 1. Slipper 2. FTS 3. Talakai 4. EOD 5. Kev 6. Thomson 7. Gill 8. Schatz 9. Genia 10. JOC (James O'Connor) 11. Kuridrani 12. FTA 13. Kerevi 14. JJT 15. Hunt 16. Chibba 17. Daley 18. ? 19...

Nonsense. He'll play minutes at some stage, but it'll be off the bench (as it should be) with JOC (James O'Connor) and/or Hunt playing the stop gap role. Hopefully he isn't forced to shoulder more responsibility than his experience level and form suggests he is ready for.

How about a list of players we deem to be absolute "must keep" from the players not yet confirmed to be leaving. For mine that list consists of the following. - Slipper - Carter - Simmons - Hooper - Fardy - Cooper - To'omua - KURIDRANI (Jake White and his Montpellier dollarmen can fuck off...

I don't really agree...Diggers is the same, powerful but not that quick in absolute terms. Also, the last few years Chris has barley ever run top pace.

Yeah on paper the Brums should get up for sure but that was true last year. I'm going to tip Brumbies by 5, but is tipped that last year too

I'm actually giddy with excitement

I actually prefer CFS on the wing. His strengths were always as a powerful, dynamic ball carrier with surprisingly excellent footwork and acceleration for a big guy (never a noted kicker or passer). I am a little worried he might be a touch over his ideal playing weight right now. He's always...

Frisby played like Frisby does. Some very good things and then some extraordinarily stupid unnecessary things. Didn't look as composed as we would have hoped for a bloke that has been around a few years now. Still, he's a Super Rugby quality scrum half now so that's good for us to have experienced...

Maybe Hunt will fly up and get DC with a To'omua like bell ringer. That's be fun

Anyone that watched the whole game have any comments other than scrum, maul and line out? Did we do anything else well? Any if the young fellas kill it or suck?

WHY DOES THE MAN UPSTAIRS HATE US?! A thumb injury for fucks sake...

Oh ok, if it's a little bit of a nerve thing that's far better than it being loose and degenerating over time. He'll just get better eventually

If it's a proper unstable shoulder it's just going to get worse not better. Reds should have copped the hit and let him have surgery in December. If not, they may have made the right call allowing it to be managed until it comes right even though he may be able to play with it with no...

Yeah if O'Donoghue is injured Kotze will do fine. Ed's not really got a lot on guys like Kotze and McDuling etc. these days

For your convenience - A guide to the notable nicknames in the reds 2015 squad Ben Daley - Dales Greg Holmes - Homer Saia - FTS of S.Finger Hanson - Chibba Horwil - Kev McDuling - Dules Browning - CB Fakaosilea - Junior Frisby - Pickle Feuai-Sautia - CFS Ant - FTA or A.Finger Kuridrani -...

So that leaves us with a best guess of starting with 1 - Slipper 2 - FTS or Hanson 3 - Fa'agase 4 - Ed O Don 5 - Kev 6 - Browning 7 - Gilly 8 - Schatzy 9 - Genia 10 - Duncan 11 - CFS 12 - FTA 13 - Kerevi 14 - Panther, JJ or Magnay? 15 - KHunt It's their first hit out and there are A LOT of...

JB won't let you down at 8. The question is do you back one of your new locks with Carter (Enever is the one I reckon, he's served a long apprenticeship and is ready) or Smiler at 6 who is also good. You lot will be fine

Yeah the Barnes idea it was tongue in cheek lads. I did rate him (always thought he was a very smart, talented footballer who developed a few bad habits) but it would be nonsensical to try and lure him back as cover for 8 weeks. Things would have to be very, very dire with Duncan and/or JOC (James O'Connor)...
