They'll have two contracted Reds in the tight five next year with Alex Mafi and Cadeyrn Neville at hooker and lock.
Three former Australian Schoolboy props to choose from in Gavin Luka, Joel Kuchel and Sam Clifton.
An arsenal of lock options including Sam Fattal, Rubin Fuimaono, Milton Sikuea and Cam Bracewell, all of whom have played NRC at some point, alongside younger guys like Tai Ford, Jake Upfield and apparently Ben Hunt (John Eales scholar from a while back).
These are all guys who played games last year. Not sure how many have moved on or stayed put but if they keep at least a handful I think they'll be fine.
1. Sam Clifton (Aus Schools 2013)
2. Mafi (Reds)
3. Luka (Reds U20s)
4. Cadeyrn Neville (Reds)
5. Cam Bracewell (QLD Country)
6. Tainui Ford (GAGR team of the season)
7. Jamison Quirk (QLD U18 Sevens, QLD Schools 2014)
8. Josh Fuimaono (Player of the Year 2015)
9. Harry Nucifora (Aus U20s)
10. Mitch Third (QLD Country)
11. Waylen Skipps (Reds A)
12. Brad Jones
13. Dylan Riley (QLD U20s)
14. Isaac Nathan (Titans U20s)
15. Hamish Stewart (Aus Schools 2015)
16. Nick Turner
17. Joel Kuchel
18. ?
19. Sam Fattal
20. Rubin Fuimaono
21. Milton Sikuea
22. Vitori Buatava
23. Gus Qasevakatini
1. Sam Clifton (Aus Schools 2013) - I think he will be there
2. Mafi (Reds) - Hopefully Bond will see plenty of him this season if Moore and Ready remain injury free
3. Luka (Reds U20s) - Reds 20s will take him out of calculations early on and if he makes Australia U20s won't see him for most of the season
4. Cadeyrn Neville (Reds) - Won't see alot of him I think
5. Cam Bracewell (QLD Country) - Not even sure hes returning, did not play much of 2016
6. Tainui Ford (GAGR team of the season) overseas and unsure if returning
7. Jamison Quirk (QLD U18 Sevens, QLD Schools 2014) - think hes injured
8. Josh Fuimaono (Player of the Year 2015) - thought he retired at the end of this season
9. Harry Nucifora (Aus U20s) - will be in the same boat as Luka, safe bet he will make the 20s
10. Mitch Third (QLD Country) - should be there
11. Waylen Skipps (Reds A) - should be back
12. Brad Jones - should be back
13. Dylan Riley (QLD U20s) - QLD 20s and a good chance for higher honours
14. Isaac Nathan (Titans U20s) - stopped playing before end of first round this season and was playing reserve grade
15. Hamish Stewart (Aus Schools 2015) Reds 20s so will not see him at least in the early part of the season
16. Nick Turner - probably back
17. Joel Kuchel - will be a welcome addition
18. ???
19. Sam Fattal - has not indicated he will be back
20. Rubin Fuimaono - reserve grade at best
21. Milton Sikuea - no idea if returning
22. Vitori Buatava - still useful
23. Gus Qasevakatini - would have him starting
After that it is slim pickings so as I said depth is not that big down at Bond.
