Might be a few more out too - from what I can see Ofa Tu'ungafasi, Akira Ioane, Reiko Ioane, Finlay Christie and Caleb Clarke are all coming off 4 games in a row.
Unless they want to rest them against the hurricanes in what is effectively a double point game and key to a home quarter they'll need to rest them this weekend. That's assuming they're all on All Black protocols, but they all played tests last year so it seems likely.
Add to that injuries to Darry and probably Perofeta and Laulala still. Both first choice props missing is a big leveller for us.

Well based on the form of both teams last week, with absolutely no other context whatsoever, I predict a comfortable Reds win.

Bit of talk Harry McLaughlin-Phillips might get the call up this Friday with Creighton and Annan both out with concussion:

The kid is an absolute talent, but it would be a big step up for him.
The young Souths playmaker who could help Reds rise
Qld rugby has been blessed with some wonderful playmakers over the years, but it has struggled to hang onto them. A rising star in club rugby could be just the pivot it needs right now.

Mostly correct here. Ofa, Rieko, Clarke, and Christie are out, but Laulala is back and Akira is playing (presumably being injured for the first half of the season has waived his rest requirements).
RTS (Roger Tuivasa-Sheck) (as a midfielder) and especially Funaki is not a very cash money bench if things are competitive by the time they enter the field.
Queensland Reds v Blues, Friday 19 May. Suncorp Stadium, 7:35pm AEST. Watch live on Stan Sport.

Is JOC (James O'Connor) injured? Seems odd to be out of the 23

Concussion
A bit nervous about our inside backs. JOC (James O'Connor) seemed to offer a fair bit at 12

Greg Davis (50)
Yeah hopefully Annan can have a better game at 12 than he had at 13, and with some proper preparation this time.
Wouldn't have hated to see 11. Grealy 12. Flook 13. Daugunu though

I was super pumped to see Louis Werchon make his reds debut last week considering how well he’d been performing at QPR level but one sticking point I had with after the chiefs game…
Tate McDermott is absolutely a 80 min player… Werchon only should come on if it’s a blow out… that goes for Kalani Thomas too… fresh reserve and give Tate as many minutes as humanly possible

can we get some shirts printed
And working on his scrum work would be nice too.
