Byrnes would have to be a better option than Van looming ahead to the RWC. I would hate to see him go to Melbourne when he has developed so much in Qld. You would think that the Reds would be on a signing frenzey this week. Great to see the twins locked in but I won't be happy until they have...

Isn't he on a one month contract with the Force? I don't think he can get 5 tries in 2 games. Would be great if he did though.

I think Holmes has been very good when he has come on at both THP and LHP. If Byrnes goes the the Reds are going to be very short in the lock department. This must be Vans last year and I can't think of any other locks in the squad.

Souths beat Uni in both. Uni did score one of the best tries I have ever seen in Premier grade with the 12 touching 3 or 4 times including a pass between his legs.

3, Mitchell 2, Dennis 1, Holmes - Had an impact when he came on. Looked to attack every time he got the ball.

I see it the paper this morning that Liam Shaw has pulled the pin on his playing career due to health reasons. Will be interesting to see what effect it has on Brothers.

Going with the whole family after attending the QRU advanced coaching seminar at Ballymore. Robbie, Jim and Craig McRae of Brisbane Lions fame are the presenters. Should be a good day all round.

I see that Jeff Miller is coaching Prem Colts at Brothers this year. Not bad having a Super 14 coach looking after colts.

I thought there was an interesting shot during last nights game when they showed the coach's box and Hickey was sitting there all by himself. Not to many friends at the moment. The Sharks were there for the killing yet they almost won the game. I'm not a Tah's fan but I did tip them to finish in...

3, Hangers 2, TPN 1, Palu I must say Carter had the best game I have seen him play but still did a couple of things that stopped me from giving him any points. Also Burgess must have run the furthest of any Tah's player with ball in hand, pity most of it was across the field. Beale came close...

3, Braid 2, Daley 1, Genia

I think one of the main thing in the Reds favour is Link. All of the talk out of Ballymore is how much things have changed and how much they are all enjoying the competition within the squad. Link has also stated that recruitment and retention take up most of his time (one of his greatest...

3- Genia 2-Horwill 1- Cooper

I think Kev will be much more suited playing in the backrow against the Tahs as opposed to the Force. The Force have a mobile backrow that would show Kev up but I think he will know what he has to do on Saturday night and I think he could be a big difference in the game. I expect him to be back...

I think Hickey said he might get Waugh to pack in at 8 at defensive scrums so he is second to the breakdown and can steal the ball. I don't think he was ever going to be picked at 8.

Reds team for the weekend QR Reds team to play the NSW Waratahs at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday night (from fullback): Peter Hynes (GPS), Digby Ioane (Sunnybank), Morgan Turinui (Sunshine Coast), Anthony Fainga'a (Souths), Rod Davies (GPS), Quade Cooper (Souths), Will Genia (Norths), Scott...

I think it could work against the Tah's as they don't have the most mobile backrow. It also adds options at lineout time. I just hope that the scrum goes ok. And I'm not to keen on the SNK idea.

I may have jumped the gun a bit when I said his life as a Springbok will be over. I do actually think he is a very good player and as much as he may say that they didn't change the laws because of him, he was the best exponent of stealing the ball in the ruck. I don't think they (IRB) expected...

I just think that SA love to have huge backrows and the only reason Brussow was picked is because he was low to the ground and didn't have to release the ball in the rucks. As a result he won a lot of ball. With the reinterpretation of the law his point of difference from the other players has...

Was at a meeting were Scott Young, former Int Ref, explained the new law interpretations. I came away of the belief that things are just reverting back to the way they used to be. The refs will be looking for the tackler to show that they are giving the tackled player a chance to play the ball...
