End of the rebels threw the draw all out of whack - same reason we're hosting the blues two years in a row and the tahs the highlanders.

I didn't consider that about the Blues. Swings and roundabouts then, play on!
Wilson
Rod McCall (65)
He wasn't listed as injured this week so was ostensibly available. After Blake's brain explosion I don't doubt he'll be in next week.

JTA (Jeffery Toomaga-Allen) apparently played a game this weekend as well, so expect he might be flown in to replace De Lutis if he is out with HIA.
Jude Gibbs will come in for either Lynagh, or cover at fullback. Not sure on status of Gordon, thought his injury was a head knock at training so should be back this week also.
Oh and could see Frankie Goldsborough in for Flook… hoping that’s not too serious

Filipo Daugunu
Allen Oxlade (6)
He is a huge talent. Strong physical ball carrier with good footwork and a big accurate kick too. He is a special talent.

Reminds me a little bit of Ikitau

Daugunu will shift in to 13 before Goldsborough I think, with Ryan coming onto his wing.
Yeah he looks quality. Can see why league wanted him. Heard he has real good combo with Goldsbrough too. Exciting
What was that game? Reds A team vs a prem team? Anyone here see the game?
Adam84
John Eales (66)
Dunno, his social media just said first game back
Adam84
John Eales (66)
Yeah probably, but he travelled with the team to Perth so wouldn’t be surprised to see him in the 23.

UNCURSABLE!
Yep Reds Dev played UQ, I think 50 to 14 to Reds. JTA (Jeffery Toomaga-Allen) played probably 50 to 60 minutes, pretty big shift and went well. Gibbs played first half, Asiata Bryant and Vest also played over a half

That kick at the end was an absolute peach. Kiss mentioned they specificallt called for him to kick if and he delivered. Unreal to see in his first season.
He seemed to be clutching the pec a lot towards the end of the game so unsure how hell bounce back.
Henry is really taking up a spot we can't afford to carry with his constant long term injuries.
The irony is not lost on me how much we could use JOC (James O'Connor) this weekend to either cover 10 or 12 with Lynagh, Harry, Dre and Flook all having clouds over their heads.

How did Gibbs play?
Concerned we could be looking at a lot of inexperience in the backline next weekend.
He was solid. Got the team around the park pretty well, distributed well. Didn't do anything outstanding but also pretty mistake free I think. Nason 2nd half probably had a couple of better moments but also a couple of errors. I would think they will take Gordon as back 10/utility if Lynagh out
Presuming Lynagh and Flook out backline for this week, no info just my thoughts

Did HMP finish the game, or was he HIA?? Couldn't see him on footage, no mention in commentary but seemed odd he didn't kick for touch or conversion at the end. If he gave the jobs away bit of a concern with his headspace/confidence. Probably simple explanation I'm not aware of
