Another classic Reds 20/30 mins of good footy 60/50 mins of shite. My views on the game and perhaps what to do next week: Gill, Thompson compliment each other very well. I think Browning needs a couple of starts soon. We know what Shatz has and it isn't balancing our back row, at the moment he...

It is desperate. Not a single person I know enjoys it and they're die hard reds fans. Saturday night was particularly bad. It's quite embarrassing. It feels so ridiculously forced down your throat you could be forgiven for thinking Suncorp is in North Korea! If people want to chant, they will...

JOC (James O'Connor) passed the fitness test this morning aye. Do we take this announcement as game on?

Tells ya what... the physicality is up on last year. The first 2 performances of Timani would have him solving a lot of the issues people were whinging about with the Wallabies 2nd row last year. Hope he can continue to bring that level each week. Jones working very hard as well. I love seeing...

Mate I'm pretty sure he did his knee little while ago. Unavailable. I think it's going to be a case of last man standing. With Hunt facing the firing squad I wonder if they will seriously look at Barnes to fill Hunts shoes for the rest of the season. There really aren't any 10s / 15s in Qld...

I've heard through the grape vine that JOC (James O'Connor) re injured his medial yesterday at training forcing Pickle to 10. They have literally run out of backs so it will be interesting to see what the QRU do about Hunt playing or not.

Yup the Force have been on the GC all week. Will be a wet game... at the very least underfoot. Do you think we will see a change in starting forward pack for the conditions? Perhaps going for size? Eg Dules to 6 with the 2 2nd rowers from last week? (Thompson in at 8)

3 very good 10/12/15 options let go by the Reds over the past couple seasons.... Harris, Lucas and Lance. All very solid at Super level. Seems like the same QRU mistakes over and over again. IMO Lance was the one with most potential and he was the first they let go. Playing completely out of...

Agree with Warhorse and TrainerGB. The rest of the clubs have raised their fees to cover this cost.... why should one club start charging visitors to cover their registration fee? It has to be an all(clubs) or nothing approach. The issue with this, as already mentioned, is that most clubs do...

Agreed Ash. I will always support the Reds.... rain, hail or shine. However as Ash said that doesn't mean we have to be happy with or support every aspect of the organisation. The Fact of the matter is that the players didn't look like they knew what to do in attack or defense(the set piece...

I would not be surprised if they threw Hunt there at some stage. Probably has the most experience at 10 in pro rugby.....

I hear the Reds are holding an internal trial this weekend. Is anyone on this forum watching them? I'm particularly interested in the following for the trials and early season games... K. Hunt - more excited about him than I was about Izzy, mainly due to the skill set he has as well as the rugby...

Must have got me on a good day.... trying to help out one from the North. Never again ;) I've found with Rugby the link between school and senior club is greater than the Jnr and Snr club. I played at Kenmore when I was very young but when I attended Terrace I started playing at Ascot Clayfield...

THIS. My thoughts exactly.

Taylor Bridge is great mate. I've got 4 nephews playing there and they love it. Coaches, mangers & community are all top notch as well.

Is anyone here a PGM member? Any idea if we just bring 2014 reds member tix to get in?

I would also say that schoolboy rugby, which doesn't round up till close to 5, will have an impact on families heading down for the game. It doesn't leave much room for error getting home and travelling time. Add to that a full day of sport may leave a few parents wanting to give the trip a miss.

I'm with you on that.... he and Izzy on the counter with a bit of space would be great to see at test level.

There was chat floating around a wee bit ago regarding Elsom and the Reds. He seems of fit the profile of injury prone ex qld. Does anyone know if he is still playing? I know he owns Narbonne now.... not sure if he has been playing. Maybe he wants one more crack at a world cup? Could be a sound...

The era I fell head over heals in love with rugby as a kid. Sometimes I forget how good the Wallabies were back then. The support lines, creativity and skills are as good as the current crop of ABs. No wonder we expect soo much from our current crop of players... tough to top! Shame Tuney had...
