I read through the press release. The impression I got is that there is going to be a shit load of stuff going on at Ballymore next year. The breakdown seems to be as follows Reds Super Rugby Squad of 35 (not sure if 5 of those count as "EPS" with the injury stipulation. I don't think so). Outside of...

Agreed, James did what he does and he did it quite effectively. What he didn't do is carry wide, which he historically hasn't done that much and perhaps was not instructed to (as Carter obviously was) or just didn't find that opportunity in the game. His carries in the tight channels were...

Ok so it is still 30 + 5, then EDS outside of that.

I'd be fine with starting AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) and Horne though with Henry on the bench.

I don't see why Lilo's ability to cover 15 would give him the inside track ahead of Cooper for a bench spot considering AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) will start and slide back there if something happens to Izzy, and Foley will play who can play 15 at a pinch. Cooper should be on the bench. Henry did some really good...

Yes, somebody please explain what the squad size and extras situation is now

1. Slipper 2. Hanson or FTS 3. Kepu (Give Hibbard some fresh nightmares) 4. Horwill 5. Simmons 6. McMahon 7. Hooper 8. Big Dog 9. Phipps 10. Foley 11. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) 12. To'omua 13. TK 14. Speight 15. Izzy 16. Hanson or FTS 17. Robbo 18. Not Alexander, Have to be Faulkner I guess 19. Carter 20. Hodgson...

A good hit out I too was a bit disappointed when Cooper bottled a try by throwing a long ball when if he'd just fixed his man and shifted the try would have been crated for the winger on the outside. Foley should start next week, Quade needs more time to shake off the rust. With Genia, I...

You're forgetting 2012 when he tore a meniscus in the knee that he later popped his ACL in. That was during the tackle that mug is referring to. It's also likely as mug said that the repair of that may have not been perfect and been a factor in the 2nd injury (the first ACL).

Jack Payne is a tight forward we should have hung onto at the expense of some schoolboy winger in the EDS. Simple as that

Beat me to it Reg. So this EDS is basically a very extended version of what was previously the EPS? Is there still at EPS? Is there and EPS, EDS, WTS, U20's and NRC feeder squad all happening at Ballymore? How does it all fit?! Somebody please explain

He's gone full experimental mode....I kind of like it but it fills me with terrible memories of Samoa 2011 and Scotland 2012

Genia has been ready to go for a lot longer than Cooper. In a lot of ways it makes sense to start Genia, because it's a good time to give him an opportunity (with Phipps having played himself into the ground for a while and likely to start the next week vs wales) but pair him with Foley just so...

Reds still in the fight for Horwill after 2015 according to fox sports Conflicting reports...I wonder if this isn't one of those new fangled flexible deals I.e commit 3 years, get one OS sojourn with no penalty in terms of potential Wobs selection. Would be a classy way for a 29 yr old James...

Inman not starting for you lot would be a waste. If Harris plays 12, Mitch would be 13 and Ellison on the wing

So did Lachie Turner qwerts. Things change. We can hope

Kane Douglas

Maybe in 2016. Anyone want to put in a tip for the rebels top XV to start 2015?

If James has only been offered $550 000 then surely the financial incentive is not that high (not that it has ever been for him really)? He'd be on a comparable amount with his Reds + ARU contract. If he goes it is for lifestyle reasons. I hope a winning Reds and Wallabies team is enough of an...

Thorn would have been a good man to have around the squad. We have Thomson, but can't you have two marquee's or am I reading from the wrong script
