Line out last week was a concern , particularly with the tall timber we had out there. Seemed the majority of the throws in the first half went to Rodda and they just double teamed him for a couple of steals against the throw. Hopefully a little less predictable this week. Guessing Rodda...

Agree Fairplay Quite a few schools have a good number of boys returning, could end up being one of the more even comps that we've seen in a while. At least I hope so! IGS had a very young team last year, they will miss Kalani and Walker , but their forward pack has quite a few back.

^ and Hoopert !

That’s sort of what I was getting at , he will be judged as having home team bias if the penalty count is too much in the Reds favour. As is Berry is on a hiding to nothing.

@Rebels3 Your stats got quoted by Wayne Smith in the Australian today, moving up in the world of journalism!

Nick Berry down to ref the Reds v Sunwolves . 33 caps for the Reds , doesn't get much more "home town " than that.

Have got our own " home town ref" with Nick Berry down to control this game. Might be on a hiding to nothing after the stink of Argentina. It does make you wonder......

Fraser has been training the whole time the senior squad has been away with the U20's, think he would be a chance of a bench spot this week. Maybe ASY (Angus Scott-Young) back to 6 with Rodda and LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) as locks , Fraser at 20 and either AB or HH to miss the match day squad?

Story by Wayne Smith in today's Australian reporting Scott Johnson has lodged a formal complaint to SANZAR about the poor officiating in the last two Reds games. Apparently focuses on the scrum of the Reds not being rewarded for their dominance and makes particular reference to the penalty...

Think it will be a bit of a blended squad rather than Colts 1 . The Reds U20's are not playing in the curtain raiser, so that takes out a few.

^^Freakish talent and would have been great in our game, but much preferred being in NQ and struggled being away from family. Not sure a Reds contract would have changed this.

The Argies are playing this beautifully, field position knowIng their ref will find them a penalty. MOM to the ref , how is it allowed ?

Pretty sure that was the extent of his debut redstragic

Who will take shots at goal? Hegarty has been the sharp shooter all preseason. Hopefully JOC (James O'Connor) and Stewart have been hitting them well. More than a little concerned with our clearances , exiting has been horrible and can't see the changes improving what has been a weakness.

Is he also at Brothers Rob ?

The way rep teams get picked these days maybe he is seen as not tall enough to play 6/8, last time I saw him play he filled a power forward role , not that of a 7. Good luck to him , he will be 20 this year I think , so last crack at the pathways.

UQ Colts v Brothers Colts curtain raiser before the first Reds' home game of the season Sat 22nd of Feb 4.10pm kick off. Hopefully the bars are open early.

Would imagine this will be a bit of a mix of lads

Just making a comment about his scrummaging really and the role packing against older , harder heads most likely had on this. He was only 18 last year and reasonably fresh to prop, played mostly lock/#8 as a junior and got picked at prop for Marist Ashgrove as a 16/17 year old due to his...

Haven't seen Newsome play at OC which is commonly thought of as one of the more difficult positions defensively to play. Based on his two outings so far this season would imagine the amount of traffic coming through the 13 defensive channel might rival the M1 on a Friday afternoon.
