I'd prefer Coleman but let's see if his hip comes right.

Alternatively, if beau isn't available or you don't want a 6-2 you could roll Frisby, some mystery inside back and Magnay

More likely to be fucking whiplash, he got bloody belted!

Maybe something like 1. Slipper (pending head knock) 2. FTS 3. Talakai 4. Dules 5. Kev 6. Thomson (!!) 7. Gill 8. Schatz 9. Genia 10. JOC (James O'Connor) 11. CFS 12. FTA 13. Kerevi 14. Panther 15. Turner 16. Hanson 17. Paraka or other 18. Fa'agase 19. Kotze 20. Browning 21. Beau 22. Frisby 23. Taps or Magnay

Hunt surely cannot play. That would be a cultural disaster. Hopefully slipper or Daley are Ok. If not one of the Brisbane City props will have to come onto the bench. If McDuling is right to go he should start with Kotze on the bench (EOD may be out for a while he was walking around in a knee...

Medial Ligament wouldn't usually be an Op. Yeah I also like Talakai. He has a terrific looking back at scrum time

In a full strength team beau is a bench option in a 6-2, which with the versatility of Frisby and others in our best back 3 is a very sensible option that we should employ as often as not when at full strength Eg in a full strength team the bench could look like 16. Hanson 17. Daley 18...

A Matt Taylor, McKay Stiles combo would be good. Each of those guys has a proven record of getting the Reds to improve in their specific areas. Another candidate might be someone like Brian Smith?

Tom Murday?! This is great news! Lock depth officially increased! Seriously good news.

I'm still fucking filthy about last week but have consoled myself by creating a fantasy where rather than Holmes, Simmons, Thomson, Cooper, Fainga'a, JOC (James O'Connor) missing from the Reds it was Alexander, Carter, Fardy, To'omua, Lealiifano and Speight missing for the Brumbies. . . . . in that world the...

For this weekend, I've already resigned myself to a win being unlikely (though I'll still be gutted for them when they lose) but I'll probably be cheery if we at least a) scrum them into the fucking dirt (a penalty try would be nice) b) improve the average quality of our catch pass so something...

Wilson has fucking nailed the team that the Reds should run. How much fun would it be to have Paraka and Fa'agase jogging down the touch line to warm up eyeballing Hoskins, van Wyk and the other boys that they dominated in the NRC final? Any update on how far away Taps is?

If CFS makes it through to play some NRC it will do wonders for him. Look what if did for Kuridrani jnr 's confidence

Yeah I was downright distraught about the defensive effort last week in the centres. Ant and Kerevi in the centres will be good. CFS will be benched with Turner and Kuridrani on the wings.

Losing both Harris and Lucas was not great but it probably was necessary to fit in Hunt and JOC (James O'Connor) under the salary cap. Too early to speculate on whether it was a good call but ask me in 5 games time and I'll have a (no doubt strongly worded) answer. If JJ is crocked but JOC (James O'Connor) back that gives us...

Cottrell is a fucking weapon. If a backrower is going to Debut this year it will be him. He would have been on the EOYT last year instead of McMahon had he been fit. Is it just me or does he look bigger right now than previously? Colemans hands let him down but most of his carries were...

Therein lies the problem Opposition fans are being charged to watch their team (brother, son, boyfriend, mate) play Brothers at Crosby but Filth fans (or family of players etc.) are NOT charged to watch their boys play at Bottomley, Yoku or Uni. If all clubs did it, it would be play on. As it...

I'd be in favour of that. Give him a week to simmer and then return

I like Coleman a lot I think he has a MASSIVE potential upside. Timing is everything though. If he starts and plays consistently well for the Force he's in with a real shout

^ True, it wasn't. So do you run 2 back up locks and have Dules or Schatz run the line out. Doubt it. He'll be dirty on himself Kev and he won't be that shit again
