Can't we just ask the Harlequins if we can borrow James for a match or two? He's already out here, may as well keep his fitness up!

Far out I am Gee'd up to see what unleashing McMahon can do to the poms. You'd hope Hooper will be told to be more involved with the rucks either through pilfering or just slowing it down while Sean takes more of the running role?

What's Rod Macqueen doing these days?

I'd imagine experience will triumph for the first game. Limited preparation and game time means those that have been in this environment and played together will probably count more. If we win the the first game, I can see Cheika letting his "hair" down a bit more and tinker with the squad a...

Sure Arvo games are fantastic, but not for those who sit in the Eastern stand or those who play Subbies and stick around to watch first grade. If the QRU/NSW etc want more people invested in Rugby to turn up to Saturday afternoon games, they'll need to dictate that Clubs can't play at the same...

Is that because all of the soap dodgers who've escaped the motherland are living on the warm beaches SEQ has to offer? Or are you making us blush that after a few rumbo's we're the loudest bunch in Aus?

It's kind of interesting when you compare the 'entertainment' standard rugby game offers an individual, group of friends or family's. Currently in Australia, a pre-game of Under 20's/school kids before the game + some stupid skills games are all the entertainment outside of the 'real game' we...

Whatever happened to those drums that used to be at Suncorp? I'm not talking about the crappy drumming/booawwwwwwwwwwwwww noise that would come over the speakers, but there was a bunch of guys/gals banging the drums behind the goal posts?

From what we've seen this year, the playbook is all of 2-3 pages long. But in all honesty, you're over re-acting to what Leroy needs to learn. I'll just take a guy smacking other blokes to get us forward ball for a change. With Leeroy signing, it's a massive shame to lose Gilly, having those...

Knowing TPN's run, he'll have a head knock in one of the first two games which will allow Ready to be called into the training squad. I'd dare say that Chibba does deserve his spot in the squad so I've got no qualms for Ready to focus on Super and Club rugby for a bit longer.

I'm surprised Gilly got a look in. Not that he hasn't been playing well or doesn't deserve it, but it effectively means we have four No. 7s; Hooper, Pocock, McMahon and Gill. Granted this is just the training squad + players covering multiple positions, but I didn't expect Liam to be included...

Huh? Surely getting a forward that's doing well in getting us over the advantage line is an additional priority........

Eh, I don't see Greene's departure as the end of the world as some people do. Queensland is fortunate enough to be a breeding ground of young talent so much so we do not have room/space to develop ALL the emerging talent. Who's to say if we held onto To'omua that he would have developed into the...

If Kerevi is fit enough to come into the picture, are we really thinking of playing both him and Tevita in the centres? They're both solid players, but I would have thought it'd be one or the other as they're too similar to one another? With Beale being out and Izzy playing at 15, we'd only...

You'd think the more savvy players would be going down the bitcoin route!

I think overall speaking Carmichael's time at the Reds was extremely positive. What I believe the outcry revolves around is the apparent regression into the Reds being run by the 'old boys' once again. When he first came onto the scene it was refreshing to have an outsider's take on what a...

His tail is already between his legs after such a shocking NFL 'career'. They hyped him up way too much and he didn't deliver the goods (which is fine due to the different style of games). BUT, I would dare say that 'retiring' from the NFL before he was pushed and then failing to make the...

Knowing his attitude from NRL which may have taken a hit after not making it at NFL, I'd rather than Reds passed on him. The dude has way too much baggage to be coming into a young impressionable Reds side. If the ARU approached him, it reeks worse than the coups of the early 2000's for Sailor...

I wouldn't quite lump Jake with that group. The names you listed all showed some kind of interesting spark that needed work. Cooper had his passing, footwork and organisational skills, To'omua and Foley were rusty around the edges but showed they had their heads switched on tactically and were...

Yeah because the other option of CFS a 13 instils me with so much confidence that he'll even turn up to Suncorp and put in any form of shift with enthusiasm.
