I was of the impression that Deans was contracted until the end of the Lions series. To hear he is guaranteed the role for the Rugby Championship and the EOYT worries me. Even my 96 year old neighbour who doesn't watch any rugby would have enough management acumen to realise that if someone...

I know nothing about the guy, apart form the bomb scare, but am willing to give him a chance. Hopefully he has some fresh ideas that he implements in the first 12 months of his term. He wasn't going to be revolutionary in his first statement to the press, especially when he hasn't even had a...

I'd love Inman to have a breakout year. A full Super season in the 13 for the Rebels would be great. He's a really good size and if he can work on his running lines he will be hard to stop and could potentially become the go to man for JOC (James O'Connor) and Beale and get the Rebels over the advantage line.

This will be Holmes' first full off season and I think he'll come out firing. He offers a lot at scrum time and around the field.

I think Shane had to weigh up the option of working for money or holding up a tackle bag for free and took the first option. I've seen him in the guy at the club a bit so he is doing the hard work.

Sunnybank start training next Tuesday. They would have to be the last club to start. It will be interesting if it has an effect on their early season form.

Quite a few Saffers in rugby in Brisbane too. It's something that adds to the rugby community, and community as a whole, in my opinion. Maybe they come here as they get looked after better than in other places, like the UK where you can play for England but can't stay when you retire...

I'd love Rasolea to have a shot at 12. He tore up Premier Colts in Brisbane in 2010 and has progressed nicely. He's incredably strong a deceptively fast.

I see Will Tuffley has moved to Hong Kong. While not in the top team at Uni this year he was a pretty handy player and had over 100 caps from memory. I wouldn't be surprised if more former students went to Sylvin Rd looking for opportunity. They have a plethora of talent.

I'd be keen to see Kingi get a run at 15. Think it may be his best spot long term.

I don't think thats true. I think he is the only current player who went to private school. It has a lot to do with 15 year olds being able to play grade cricket, so players who don't have school sport are playing top grade cricket from an early age.

I think Slipper will play 1 for the Reds and Holmes at 3. Daley only plays 1 so the other two have to be versatile.

You may want to half that from the guys I know. I guess it depends on how long they have been in the system.

I think the issue is that he doesn't have any.

Robinson, Quirk, Samo and Browning offer a few options at 6. Also they can play Schatz there and Samo at 8. Butler could also be an option and Murday and Ah Wong are in the Reds College, these guys would be long shots though. As long as it's not Horwill I think there are plenty of options...

13 would be a good spot for both but I think Ant will be first option there as his defence is strong and can create turnovers.

I wouldn't be surprised if AWH managed to get ahead of Simmons on the back of the latter not playing any trials.

Iconz are going, according to their facebook page. More info can be found here http://www.hottest7s.com

It was in regards to the culture they are trying to create amongst the players and a focus on competition between players for places in the team. Also from the sounds of it they have picked up a few good quality players.

I had a good chat to Scott Allen on Friday night at the Xmas drinks. By the sounds of it lots of good work is being done at the Kennel, both off and on the field. I am hopeful that they get some good results in 2013 as it would be great to get to round 18 with 6-8 teams still in the running for...
