Queensland Reds 2025

[Wilson]

Design is apparently a throwback to the 1899 kit for QLDs first win against a combined British team:

The Queensland Reds Special Edition 2025 Series Jersey is inspired by the 1899 Tour, when Queensland recorded their first win against an international team - defeating the Lions 11 to 3.

In keeping with the rich heritage of the two teams, stitched together over time, the Special Edition Jersey design incorporates the original stitching from the winning team, with each line intersected with the iconic Q and Reds logo, along with the Queensland flag and map to mark this momentous occasion.

Tom Banks is a free agent, wonder if he wants a return home.

Maybe if there were more photos of it from throughout the day it would help....

Australian S Bolands' just getting it done v the Brits.

If Campbell does end up gone I'd be snapping him up. I've never been entirely convinced by him at test match level, but he's a great super rugby fullback and would be excellent experience to help bring on McCulloch and others. Would depend on what's happening with Campbell first though, I'm not sure it'd make sense to try and fit them both in.

And Murray still on the books.

He's a good pro. Has he been good in Japan? If he's been half decent you'd think he picks up another deal there. The Force may have a sniff since Beale isn't getting younger even though Cron seems to really like him.

Rumour has it he is close to signing with Montpellier

With Grealy going well and Potter and Pietsch absolutely nailed on in the back 3 (Potter could be a good 15 too) I doubt they'd be in too much of a rush to spend on another fullback.

Not many more to go now. Need a 2nd rower. Convince Angelo Smith to play? Play alongside Uru and daugunu to help him get the passion back.

Good club player not super standard

His last game for the Wallabies before he got injured felt like everything was finally clicking for him. Then he got injurted midway through the game and left.
