Karmichael's suspension is over i believe, it will be interesting to see what part if any he plays in this match.
The Red Baron
Chilla Wilson (44)
Just pulling this across from the other thread..
Quick Hands
David Wilson (68)
Has he been training with the team or did the suspension include training?
IMO Reds need to pick their best 23 and if he is considered one of the best 23 available, he should be in the match day squad. He's served his suspension.

I think the reds will just get a bonus point for losing by less than 7.
With the amount of changes in the backline this is the equivalent of our second trial game so we should start to click soon

Can't help but feel we're still a Number 8 and a solid centre away from a win.
Perhaps Hunt at 13 might be the foil for Kerevi that's required - the yang to Samu's yin, the Conrad Smith to Kerevi's Ma'a Nonu. I'm not sure that Hunt has the measure of Turner, JOC (James O'Connor) or Kurindrani at the moment, and he's an expensive bit of furniture on the pine. And let's face it - FTA, Taps and CFS have hardly set the world on fire this season.
And if Thomson is good enough to play 8 for he All Blacks, he's good enough for the Reds. Chuck Curtis Browning at 6 and I reckon we're a goer.

I think Khunt would be good at centre, he has an ability to play 5/8 and has a French Ruby title that proves this no matter his performance this season. To me this should indicate being a better passer than A Finger. Also going back in time his defence and tackling ability from League should indicate he could defend at centre too.
I would play him at 12

I'd say play him at fullback, but that means dropping Kurindrani or Turner who've both been excellent, or the brand, which would be funny but pointless.
Finger and Tapaui don't deserve to be thrown aside for him either. Think he misses this week. Then gets in for whomever gets injured this week.

Pick KHunt if you to play attacking Rugby.
Pick Finger if you want to arm wrestle with them.

So what is the evidence that KHunt is the embodiment of attacking rugby?
The Reds backs key issue is their lack of workrate in attack, they are all just standing there waiting for Cooper to throw them a money ball
How about they run some angles some inside runners, JOC (James O'Connor) was the only inside runner, and he isn't built for crash ball

So Rebels fans, what do we want to see this week? I've given up on the prospect of English dropped, or any changes being made to the backline despite that being the glaring area of need.
I think the Reds are going to win this in the worst game of the season to date.

KHunt doesn't need to be anywhere near the embodiment of attacking Rugby to be a grade above Finger in attack,who has proved to be a very reliable,but one dimensional centre.
The problem with the backline is that Cooper has only been there for their most recent game.
The backs have been in clean out mode,rather than attacking mode.but so have the forwards...

21st wedding anniversary for myself and my good lady wife on Friday, and we are spending a chunk of the evening at AAMI Park.
A win would be a very nice present indeed. For all of us!
