4 guys in the squad are still around. How things have changed.

I am worried about this one. The Bulls have lost the last 2 times they have played in Brisbane and after their loss to the Cru they will be keen to get one over the Reds. I am sure Link will have all the players focused but sometimes that is hard to do. Especially with the Tah's the following...

Was told yesterday that Steve Phillpots, BBC, will be coaching Australian Schools this year. Well doen to him. They are building up a bit of coaching quality in Toowong at the moment.

Big call considering Slipper, Simmons, Morahan, Tapps etc. Hope that the injury isn't as bad as first thought as it is crule for players to miss out on their 1st XV season.

Joe O'Regan, former Australian A schoolboy and Uni Prem colts hooker from last season, has returned to Norths to play. Joe is a Norths Junior and played at Uni while living at college. He is back at home this year and will add a lot to the Norths Colts team. Sunnybank beat Uni in a trial on...

I think it is a bit harsh to blame Hanson for the lineouts that the Reds lost. It was more an issue in the line than the throw. Things didn't improve straight away when Sai came on. I am very confident in the Reds lineout and see it more of a small blip in an otherwise well working part of their...

Fisher used to play him on the wing for the Vikings when they played in the Brisbane comp. Would hold the ball in one hand and fend with the other and guys had real problems trying to tackle him.

Just ask Brett Sheehan

I would leave Samo. I thought he was great against the Stormers. Shatz for Houston would be good. How long before Lucas is back? He would take Priors spot on the bench.

I like the remainder of the draw for the Reds too. They are all games we can win. If we can manage a few more bonus points and maybe drop one game (not the Tah's) then we will be in a great position. Saders game will be huge as if we win that then the confidence will be really high. Think I...

3. Samo 2. Hanson 1. Slipper Could have gone to so many others. Big rap for Daley as he had a great all round game and did well in the scrums.

There are so many factors to consider in this game. So here are some things that I hope to see. 1, The Force playing great rugby and to be ahead by 8 with 10 to go 2, The Tah's to score a try and kick 2 penalties off Force errors to lead going into the last minute of the game 3, The Force...

If I have to hear him crap on about how the Brumbies are the greatest thing ever and everyone should be more like them I will neck myself. The Reds tried what the Brumbies are doing now (loosing all their games) a few years ago so they aren't breaking new ground. So yes a lot of the insight...

I'm expecting to see lots of chip kicks and grubbers to turn around the Stormers defence and plenty of runners off the inside shoulders of Quade and Harris. This is where Morahan, Davies and Diggers could find some holes.

I am keen for Rodzilla to get some more time on the field. He looked a great weight against the 'canes and could do with some more game time. The scrum didn't go anywhere. When on song he is one of the few props who can hold up his side of the scrum and run over other players to score a try...

While I appreciate that these guys have great talent and one of the things that drives them is the challenge of what they do I can't see Quade taking a large pay cut to go play league at this stage in his career. If he plays as well as I think he could during the RWC he will be a superstar and...

3, Diggers 2, Holmes 1, Quade

I think that Link can rotate 5 backrowers but not 6 and Houston can only play 8 so he is the one to loose out. Will be interesting to see where he goes. Rebels and Brumbies would be his only options in Aust. Beau will be around for a couple of seasons while Gill develops and it will be...

My biggest disapointment in the Rebels team is dropping Blake. I thought his try put the team on the right track last week after being down early. His scrummaging was good and thought he did quite a bit of work around the field. How he was left out of the 22 is a big surprise to me.

He was a 10/12 at school and in colts before going away with the 7's. 9 is where his future is but I think he has the game to fill in most spots in the back line. He has played quite a bit at 15 for Sunnybank over the last couple of years. Saying that I don't think he a Super Rugby winger.
