Agreed, trials are nothing really to go by. My point rather should have been that GPS were consistant all through the trials with their wins and then started today on that same note with a win. Its a positive sign looking forward for the club. No doubt Uni, Sunnybank, Brothers and probably...

IMO Lucas' skills are better off being exploited in other positions where he has some more room to move. After all back at school and for club he was mostly a 10 and only converted to 9 to fit into the Reds system. Frisby should be good enough to handle the starting job and i'm sure there would...

tigerland, GPS gave both those teams a decent touch up in pre season and played them without most of these new 'stars' that have joined this season. When a team has to put their 2011 captain and arguably best forward Jonno Ellis into reggies today to accomodate players then you know there is...

Does anyone know how long Frisby has been signed up for? I believe he is still on academy deal but surely with this new situation he'll be put onto a full contract. I'm confident he can fill the gap and is a better halfback than Lucas who can be better utlized elsewhere on the field.

I don't know how to react to all this. I would have thought if Genia were to leave then the announcement wouldn't have been made until the end of the season. This is the last thing the Reds need on their plate as they are trying to claw back into the competition. Of course on the flip side is...

Good win to hopefully get the season back on track but will be much harder tests in a weeks to come. I had the Reds at 13plus and you could imagine my excitement when Shipperly picked up that loose ball at the end with one man to beat. Then similarly you can imagine my feeling of hatred...

GPS v Norths is still on at this stage. All games between the club are cancelled apart from Prem Grade and Prem Colts who will be playing on Field 2 and not the newly refurbished Field 1.

Radike and Saia both trained all night with GPS Prems and looked to be running around with the starting pack, looks like they will be playing tomorrow.

Hopefully Ant takes the field early in the game. I think his hard running lines and textbook tackles will be needed to wrap up a fairly elusive Blues mid-field. As such I wouldn't mind seeing him come on for Morahan and shift Harris or Lucas to 15 and Ant to 12. I'd like to see the ball in...

As Tigerland said earlier it looks like Samo has been dropped out of squad all together, he was present at GPS club training on Tuesday night. Maybe he'll be spending a few weeks playing premier grade to try and find some form. Odd though considering his age and you'd think his form has been...

Agreed Gnostic, he is a great club player but I think thats the extent of his playing career. Didn't really seem up to speed for Super Rugby and is probably the only flyhalf used by the Reds this year who was replaced on the basis of form not injury, which is saying something given they decided...

Whats everyone's thoughts re Dallan Murphy's contract situation? I don't reckon he'll be offered another EPS contract, he's been in the Reds system now for three years so I think they've done all they can with him. Frisby should also get given a full contract IMO. After seeing Genia's faults...

GPS won the final trial against Uni. Can't remember the final score at the moment but I think they got up by 7. There are still some players to come back from injury for GPS and I also heard that Uni were missing a few players at some rugby carnival (not sure how accurate that is). GPS...

Its hard for the Reds when arguably all of their best attacking backs are sitting on the sidelines or playing like shit. Quade and Diggers provide the most spark for them, both not playing. Last year Genia provided a lot of go forward, this year he's a non-factor. And then i'd say Taps is the...

Just got back from the game and geez I am almost in disbelief. Why oh why did the Reds keep kicking the ball away???? IMO worst decision of the game was Genia attempting a chip kick (if you could even call it that, it was too deep for anyone to have a chance of regathering) in his own 22. WTF...

Actually yeh maybe - i'm not very good with maths ie distances, i'm just making my comments based on player mix currently at the club.

GPS catchment area is fairly large and would be the closest club for the inner city boys private schools where rugby is played (Boys Grammar, Gregory Terrace) and of course Marist College Ashgrove. Thats three fairly large and rugby significant schools to draw players from as a starting point...

What do you mean by 'zones' MrTimms? I know there is somewhere on the QRU website which has addresses for all the grounds of club teams. http://www.redsrugby.com.au/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=8YQ7jvd2wNo%3d&tabid=533

Robinson and Gill have seemed pretty well matched skill wise this season so its a pretty tough one to call. For me though Robinson adds a little more tenacity and mongrel, he seems like he'd be a real prick to the opposition on the field and I just don't see that from Gill. I also think that...

Team looks pretty good to me, pretty much what I expected. For me the biggest missing piece is Diggers, as RH mentioned earlier we do miss him, especially in these games as we don't really have a 'hole puncher' in the backline. The backline looks like it will get the job done, not put a massive...
