ah no I see at 193cm and 104kg he is one of those hard to pigeon hole players. Big for a 7, light for an 8 and short for a 6.

Sort of - Pocock didn't play 7 really until he was in Rep teams.

Is he an u20 7? Doesn't helped Tahs picked Tizzano to be their developing 7.

Would they let another capped Fijian in? Rebels still have Koroibete, Maddocks and now Kellaway for wings.

Ok this is a lot of backrowers and none of them big bodies. Either some guys aren't getting re-signed or Jones and RHP will be permanent locks Lock - Hosea, Haangana, Phillips, Jones, RHP Backrow - wilkins, Hardwick, kemeny, cottrell, leota, naisarani, killingworth

It could be that there are 15 professional spots (3 each pro team) for Halfbacks in this country and it could be successfully argued we don't have 15 HB's of a professional standard that are available. This years U20s already have contracts and there is noone killing it at NRC outside the...

Are fijians excepted? I know that there was a 'system' which allowed us to have Japanese players, in addition to a Foreign Marque and a Foreign Developing at one stage.

Still think THP is a spot to get a foreign marque. Faulkner is not Kepu, and neither are Robertson or HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) on that level as THP. Some concerning downgrades across the park which will make for an even leaner season. I wouldn't be in a hurry to lose Hunt or AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) if I was them.

Bench Reds player Stewart > Wallaby stalwart Oconnor? That's a bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off for them.

JOC (James O'Connor) will be 12 with Petaia @ 13. The end. FD on one wing, speight on the other with Hegarty/Lucas @ 10/15. 9. Mcdermott 10. Hegarty/Lucas 11. FD 12. JOC (James O'Connor) 13. Petaia 14. Speight 15. Hegarty/Lucas 21. Malolua 22. Stewart 23. CFS

As a player of national interest, states won't be able to outbid each other for LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto). RA sets his value and half is paid by the Super Rugby team. Will be interesting to see what he does - same money - pick NSW or QLD

lol before. His contract was 4 mil over 4 years....1.15 mil pounds is like....8 mil over 4 years as a base contract. Don't think so!

Perhaps Poey and Hoops will play more a left side & right side, instead of a blind side & open side. Though also expect them to swap, and poey and naisarani to swap, dependent on what sort of defence they will be applying to attack they think is coming so Hooper can get out there, or so Poey can...

Its my understanding Folau was closer to 1.15 million aud per season, not 2.1.

Will need smarts over brawn. Can't have TK, It'll be JOC (James O'Connor) or AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper).

Do we think a lock plus LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) off the bench? Or LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) with Dempsey

It is my understanding the Reds are also benefiting from many U20 stars being Queenslander. The Creme de la creme of aussie youth who are also the target of RA initiative to lock in young talent. I'm sure this must be beneficial when it comes to what can be offered to the youth and for how long.

Potential Front Row Groups. Brumbies and Rebels doing well. Brumbies 1. Sio, Slipper, Lloyd 2. Fainga'a, Mcinerney, Lonergan 3. Ala'alatoa, Vui, Ross Tahs 1.

Front Row #1 1. Sio (27) 2. Fainga'a (24) 3. Ala'alatoa (25) Front Row #2 1. Slipper (30) 2. Mcinerney (24) 3. Vui (22) Front Row #3 1. Lloyd (24) 2. Lonergan (19) 3. Ross (21) Pretty set for the future.

RA took out 10mil insurance specifically in case they lose to folau. So a non issue there.
