Gavin Luka and Dylan Riley were awarded the John Eales Rugby Excellence Scholarship at Bond last night. They would obviously be playing for Bond Rugby Club and Reds u20 Rep if chosen.

HJ we may need to create a few more threads if this is the case for the u20's comp. The reds u20's training squad assembled this past weekend to gear up and discuss when all the training begins. Not too many details about the games but they did mention the final team would be playing a couple of...

Perese may be out for certainly the first half of the season.

Did CFS not have shoulder surgery recently? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does Sam have a Super Rugby contract? Not on the Reds web page which should reflect the latest in the coming week Nov 1. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The Reds Backs consist of: 2 x Fulbacks - JJT & K Hunt 3 x Wings - C Kuridrani, CFS & Eto Nabuli + The Ballymore Kid 3 x Centres - S Kerevi, Magnay & A Fainga'a 2 x Flyhalves - J McIntyre & D Paia’aua Only 3 of them having more than a season of Super Rugby. Kerevi, Kuridrani & Fainga'a

Magnay has had a good season and he is a big boy 1.95m @ 98kg, not too sure about his defense though? Perese is out for quite a while I heard and doubt he'll be looking for a spot in the main squad this season. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What about a Magnay, Kerevi combination in the centres? Magnay is still young and has had a few games last season plus NRC Qld Country and besides if we are in a "Building Phase" who else is there?

Bond is establishing itself as a very formidable force in the Qld Rugby program not only attracting good talent but also breeding good rugby players. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I wouldn't know. I don't have 2020 vision.

I agree Jooste should be playing u20 to gain some senior experience as he has not had much if any NRC time either. It will do his confidence and transition to Super Rugby easier later on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am just as concerned about how many former NRL players are being looked at or recruited for the Reds. Surely there are enough strong union candidates in Australian rugby? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Western Force 2016 Thread: #147 Quote "Tai McIsaac has pulled the pin 1 year into his 3 year contract and will return home to the Gold Coast. " Where will he end up if returning to the Gold Coast? Bond??

Any idea of when the Reds will be announcing their u20 training squad? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very good analysis Sage. Just one more thing that got me was the lack of foresight to change plan when clearly we were not penetrating through the middle with the pick and drive. I know the kiwi's had Kennewell marked, and knew pretty well he does not pass, but the ball hardly got to Ngamanu or...

The boys were over coached and did not express their usual type of game. You can't do that it in 1 week it takes a whole pre-season and a couple of games for any team to get it right. This was evident between the 2 teams. One team trained to get to know each other the other trained to get to...

Good wrap Hugh, in the end it was good rugby on display, even if it was the opponent, with a good crowd attendance.

Thanks HJ you did well, the light was bad. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think here was no plan B as clearly plan A through the middle didn't work. The ball never got to the wings down the line. The only time the wings saw the ball was on the NZ kicks. I was expecting a hell of a lot more from 11, 13. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It was prevalent in the Commonwealth 7's games as well, very good runner with the ball but shy on passing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
