Bench spots will be very competitive. Burgess the front runner for 2nd halfback, but phipps is a chance. Barnes injured at the moment, and apart from his defence I dont think he really brings as much to the team as our other play-makers do. If horne isnt injured you'd have to say he slots in...

I think Kingi would be better at 12, with morty back at 13.

Tahs need a new coach aswell do they not? And surely the reds will after the Lions tour, if not sooner if dingo takes the ABs?

I dont like it at all. Instead of having a cap to make the competition more equal, I would rather see the aru spend money on development of the player base in the smaller franchises. It is fair enough for the Force and Rebels to sign blokes who arnt getting a run in QLD and NSW, but they...

Bit rich for warratahs fans to be throwing boy band chat dont you think:

At this point the A teams and first squad will probably just train during term 2 and play some trials. The blokes in lower teams are probably free to play soccer if they want to. I made a thread about it a while back: http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/forum/threads/7346-Growing-QLD-Schoolboy-Rugby

While Queensland played some shit rugby for most of the last decade, at least the reds never needed a jersey boys medley to get punters through the gate.

Makes sense, I had never heard that, but you never know with the australian media. I agree its not fair to label him 'Money Bill Williams' after he turned down the huge French offer (2 mil a season plus sponsors money?). Mind you I have also been told on a number of occasions over the years...

Its centred around Mundine, and at least from my experience it seems to be because he would often come out and say he was the greatest thing since sliced bread but never really beat any of the top boxers. It's part of the Australian psyche - don't talk yourself up, its not for you to tell people...

Do they have enough money for him? I think it depends on how we go come rwc. In any case a year or two in league wouldnt be so bad for him. But he would be a great loss to the game if he didnt find his way back.

I understand your point about strength of opposition, yet I would argue the reds took apart a team that took apart the tahs just over a week ago. Slipper was solid in the scrum, and had a phenomenal work rate around the paddock. At one point Horwill hit it up and drove the opposition back nearly...

I think attacking the head should lead to a card purely because of the risk to the neck/eyes, its the type of thing that can end a guys career, not in the spirit of the game. And don't call me precious, cause I've seen it happen in club rugby, and its not nice for anyone involved. To be fair on...

Sometimes I just think you're taking the piss mate. Slipper was the best prop in Australia this week. And Simmons and Horwill both played better than Wykes, and some would argue Douglas aswell.

Surly we will see morahan and either chambers or harris in for the injured Lucas and Tapuai?

Reds squad: Backs - Rod Davies, Ben Tapuai, Anthony Fainga'a, Digby Ioane, Quade Cooper, Will Genia, Mike Harris, Luke Morahan, Ian Prior, Will Chambers, Dom Shipperley. Forwards - Leroy Houston, Beau Robinson, Scott Higginbotham, James Horwill (capt), Rob Simmons, James Slipper, Saia Fainga'a...

I worst part of the super 15 is the fact that we have to watch this game twice a year now instead of once.

I love this comment.

My thoughts exactly. I could see this back-line working: Phipps Cipriani Vuna Kingi Mortlock Mitchell Gerrard Rooney and Huxley not of the standard.

Since when does Matt Brandon play for the force? Didn't he turn out for the reds academy a few weeks ago?

Is the bird in the clip his wife?
