Or Kingi, or McKibbon, or Swanepoel. But that's just life in rugby these days. Players go where the opportunity is. If Genia and Lucas were both fit then there wouldn't be an opportunity for someone else.

I wish Matt Lucas was still in Qld.

Just something I thought I read. What's his injury?

I think they are trying to strengthen the talent at the U18 State Champs. Some of the guys who make the Metropolitan teams wouldn't make a 5th XV at some GPS schools. Better to have a stronger State Champs so the players are more prepared for the Schoolboy Trials.

What's up with Delve? He was rested for a week and hasn't come back this week. Has JOC (James O'Connor) vetoed his return?

Very good to hear.

Sunnybank have fielded U18 teams against 1st XV of BSHS and IGS in the past. It can be problematic as they want different things out of the exercise. It doesn't really help the club team as their better Colts players are U19. When I was at school we played a Norths team and Peter Grigg ran...

Probably wants to play with his brothers. Spent a fair bit of time in 1st grade at Uni so it's understandable.

How does Genia Jnr get in front of Meehan? I am worried if Nigel is our 9 (but in saying that I haven't seen him play for a while).

Apparently he hasn't been going to Academy training and no one knows where he is.

My Reds team for the weekend would be 1. Greg Holmes 2. Saia Fainga'a 3. James Slipper 4. Rob Simmons 5. Ed O’Donoghue 6. Eddie Quirk 7. Liam Gill 8. Jake Schatz 9. Ben Lucas 10. Quade Cooper 11. Digby Ioane 12. Ben Tapuai (vc) 13. Chris Feauai-Sautia 14. Dom Shipperley 15. Luke Morahan 16...

I think the quote is fine. He wants to focus on the team at the moment, straight after the match, and will review his individual performance during the week. It is exactly the way it should be for all professional players. Problem is everything JOC (James O'Connor) says he manages to make sound like he's a...

I heard a rumour this morning that AIC and GPS players can trial for Metropolitan teams to play in the U18 Qld Schoolboy State Champs. Can anyone confirm this? Would be interesting to see what the schools' policy will be on this.

Talk around the traps is that Petowa Parraka has gone MIA, not been sighted at training for a while. Any of you Tigers boys know any more? Would be terrible to loose such a talent. Lucky Sanday has headed to Tiger town if this is true.

Tipping will be back this year. It will have a slight change to it with margins added and bonus points awarded. I may eve have to do up some comp rule. I still have to get the prize to East Coast Aces from last year. I should have it sorted soon. My original plan fell through (my 1 cap Red from...

He can stand behind Carter. Or they can get him to do some boxing, that seems to be a good method of improving defence.

My read on the Lucas situation is that he is playing with an injury and they are hopeful he'll be able to play until Genia returns. If he can play half a game against the Rebels next week we should be ok. Genia Jnr isn't up for it and I haven't seen Meehan but it's a big step up. Toua had a...

Volavola at 15 and Falou to the wing. I don't understand why they don't use a cross filed kick for Issy. He would be close to unstoppable in my eyes.

I thought Matt Lucas and Ben Volavola were really good when they came on. Lucas' wide passing game really helped with the Ryan try. Volavola just looks really good. I think he is just the type of player the team needs.

I don't think Argentina are part of SANZAR, they are just invited to participate in a Sanzar tournament. Any decision will be made on commercial grounds.
