Also Henry Speight pulled out from the UC side

8 all after 12 mins. Young Jeep, James Tuttle is on for Scott Gale early in the half. Interesting to see how he goes at half back

Not sure when he will join the reds, but the ponies NYC team is going alright, confirming a top 4 spot last night. From what I have seen of the kid he is decent but not spectacular, not very quick but has great footwork, good kicking/goal kicking, and can pass well enough, I would put his...

Anyone know if there is a stream for this match? or at least some radio or twitter?

Sorry I should have phrased that differently, as far as I am aware board members have had no influence, however even with rumours of board influence IMO the players in question warranted selection and I believe it is disrespectful to suggest these players did not earn their jersey.

I truly do not believe board members influenced selections much if at all, especially any that were not warranted. From an objective point of view Premrug there was no player(s) within question that did not deserve a spot, nor was there other players knocking on the door to dethrone them in...

Completely agree TBD, I would be very surprised to see Kuridrani leave but SJ potentially. "Panther" has very good ties and good mates within the club. SJ has only recently joined from the Titans 20s and perhaps doesnt have as strong ties. I would be pretty disappointed to see either boys leave...

Samu did play well in the 12 the other week but I do think he is more effective a little wider. Unfortunately Rex Tapuai was poor in defense last week @ 12 and probably not worth risking there again. Gill I am looking forward to seeing play. Over the Brisbane Premier finals he was unstoppable...

The city team for the weekend, from their twitter. Good to see Kerevi fit and ready and Gunn retaining a starting spot even with Gill coming in. McInnes Wilson Lawyers Brisbane City v Melbourne Rising Ballymore Stadium, 3:00pm 1. Pettowa Paraka – Reds WTS/Easts 2. Andrew Ready – Reds EPS/Easts...

Just watched the first half, and agree on Frisby.. he created everything for Brisbane. Not sure who it was saying kuridrani was "running out of the line", but he defended very well and ran out when he needed to without hesitation as a good defensive winger needs to. Rex Taps was pretty poor...

Campbell or "Big Red" is a considerable athlete and had a fair game over the weekend with himself and Bobby Tuttle only getting 10 mins each. The NRC is also a massive jump in grade for Campbell, he has only played a few short games off the bench for prems (he had both Sam Johnson and Samu...

Not sure where that was heard? Pretty sure Nick Fogarty (GPS prem reserves this year) will be coaching prems. Shane Drahm perhaps?

Kinesio tape (the coloured tape everyone wears) is for greater proprioception (the limbs/muscles knowing where they are in "space") and thus to allegedly prevent injury or re-injury. And you can actually strap a hammy, although like most other strapping it probably does sweet feck all. Hunt...

Exactly, everyone is a potential fan. I am first and formost a rugby league fan having grown up in country nsw and have only recently been exposed to rugby union and fallen in love with the contest of rugby. The NRC is the perfect medium for attracting new fans. Fans want fast action with...

Folaus game has never been about pace, he is powerful and runs good lines. Can we just take Jarrod Hayne for a few games?

Kotze would actually be one of the quicker forwards but really lacks the punch the reds need. He has had a terrible run of injuries and and has missed plenty of games this year. I still think he is a chance of making it further but needs to put in a lot of work.

Always have been a fan of Izzy in outside centre. Get his hands on the ball more often. His best position in league was centre. His positioning at fullback is pretty terrible.

Word is Samu has been invited to train with the wallabies, may be in the green n gold in the not too distant future.

Kerevi has been invited to train with the wallabies.. perhaps a surprise off the bench this spring?

Ball from the breakdown improved immensely once Phipps came on. Pigs were sat on their ass and put no effort into the breakdown like the ABs.
