Are you trying to say McCabe is of international standard at 12? I hope not. He is nowhere near an international standard 12. Neither Lilo nor To'omua should lose their spot to him. 11,13 or 14 are the only jumpers he should be wearing. On a side note I wouldn't mind seeing Tevita have a bit...

I could never figure out exactly why I loved Rathbone's game so much... now I know! Tuney, one of my all-time favourites. Pity about his knees

I couldn't give you a definitive answer to that, it has evolved quite a bit over the past 10 years or so. I recall it was free when I was involved with it but you had to be invited to join. Then it became open to anyone and there was a fee. Then I think the foundation sponsored certain players...

UQ Sport scholarship holders? There wouldn't be many, in fact none from last year. (http://www.uqsport.com.au/scholarship-holders) There have definitely been ones in the past. However you would expect the overwhelming majority of them to go to UQRFC.

Cat pretty much nailed it, UQRFC doesn't offer anything like these numbers to its players. The scholarships are handed out by UQ Sport (http://www.uqsport.com.au/scholarships) with 6 of the 36 handed out by them last year going to Rugby players. Like Cat said there is also a major Kings College...

My thoughts exactly, would love to see him at 13 for the reds outside QC (Quade Cooper) and Taps... I wonder what he has done wrong/why link isn't keen on him at 13. In agreeance with your thoughts on Sautia & Toua as well.

I think you will find that I do understand Ant is a huge cog in one of the Reds' game plans. What he does in defence, his work around the breakdowns out wider and his ability to stop the attack(momentum) as well as force a turnover is important when a large number of the reds tries are scored...

Agreed... Lance in particular is an extremely good defender, especially in the 10/12 channel. To be honest I think if anything we gain more in attack and lose next to nothing in D if they go for 12. Lance 13. Taps(without Ant). And it's not like Smith sets the world on fire with his attacking game

Yeah mate it will be interesting. From what I've been told they will have a very good Prem Colts side, however in saying that there is a belief a fair few of them will be required in Prem Grade throughout the season. I'm unsure of the numbers they have had at training and whether it compares to...

I'm not sure if my beloved Heavies will finish at the top in 2013... I think most people will find that they will be quite "Green" in some positions. They are particularly light on in one or two positions due to quite an exodus after last season. Also given that they have a few players...

I'm quite sure that is Toua

Hmmmm the Brumbies have a very strong team/22 there... worrying signs for the Reds. I was going to tip the Reds because they have played tougher opposition in the trials but I'm not so sure now that I've actually seen the Brums 22. I noticed Toua played a little at 13 in the trials but I too...

I guess you could read into this and figure out what they are thinking with the back 3 on Saturday... no Moz and no Davies. Also no Browning/Ah Wong. Figuring this leaves the backs something like 9. Lucas 10. QC (Quade Cooper) 11. Diggers 12. Taps (Harris) 13. Lance (Taps) 14. Shipperly 15. Harris (Lance) Res...

Ah forgot about Butler.... the kid is a talent as well. I didn't include Beau due to initial injury and Shatz because he would be my 1st choice 8 initially. Obviously Samo as well, probably best used off the bench these days but I've been wrong about that before!

Hi all avid Reds supporters, I haven't posted on this forum before but thought I'd throw my 2 cents in and pose a qn or 2. RE: Reds no.6 I like the looks of Nigel as well... big powerful and athletic, impressive stats hopefully he can deliver inside the white lines. Other options being Quirk...

My 2 cents on the tip tackle... the guys who did it are prem players who have been playing rugby for many years. My point being that they know the consequences of actions like this, if I was a filth old boy I'd be far angrier at the player than the ref... quite simply they know better than to do...

Long time reader, first time poster! I thought it was time for another expert to start weighing in on the big issues!! I'll start by answering someones question as to who the 12 was for UQ last week v easts, his name is Con Foley and involved in the Aus 7s... a real talent with a very high work...
