Just listening to the GAGR podcast with the Fainga'a boys. Injury Updates: Robinson 3 weeks, they said surgery went very well and is back sooner then expected. Michael Harris and Rod 'Rocket' Davies likely to be available for selection next week. Peter Hynes....NO ONE HAS ANY IDEA WHATSOEVER

I don't think he'd be ready for slection because if he was, Shipperley would be allowed to go to the U20 WC

tl12: I was at the Reds' Business Breakfast today (btw, 500+ business people, totally sold out, RD and Link there and interviewed on stage, plus Kev, Gits, Rocky, Saia F) and Peter Hynes' brother (whose legal firm sponsored the event) joked to the audience that P Hynes wanted all, and especially RD, to know that his knee was right now and that he was pretty much ready to go.
(It was an excellent event, great atmosphere, Brisbane business community getting massively behind the QRU and Reds. And the comments from Robbie and Link were informative, sincere, and telling.)

no. He's not running around. They just said they didn't know.

I reckon Morahan as more than earned his spot either at wing or at the back. Other than that, it looks pretty good. I think Lucas is a real shot for that third halfback / utility role at the WC.

Yeah, I just rate Davies pace.

He seems to get more involved physically compared to Morahan

What's everyones view on Ben Tapuai at the moment? I believe he has filled the shoes of 12 quite nicely, and his defense is a massive plus, especially once finals hit? Then again, Harris' kicking is very good. So I think will be a close battle for 12.

Tapuai hasn't done anything wrong in the 12 jersey, however we need a goal kicker and we don't loose anything with Harris at 12.
:edit: I realise Harris won't be our number goal kicker and I should have said that Harris has been very solid at inside center.

Harris runs better lines and puts a bigger dent in the defensive line, however I am a massive Tapuai fan and am pretty comfortable with either.

I wrote a bit of an opinion piece on the Reds the other day, and put it up on The Roar. Have a look if you like: http://www.theroar.com.au/2011/06/02/rugby-rising-on-a-tide-that-floats-all-boats/
Would appreciate any thoughts and comments you may have!

Taps is great particularly with low tackles - Harris however has that goal kicking potential if QC (Quade Cooper) gets hit by a big bus

We do need a kicker, cooper 7 from a couple of week ago but terrible against the crusaders. granted he got the one the counted but we should have been ahead by i think at least 10.
Harris has kicked well in what we have seen, but cooper he needs to lose that arm swing from the upper body to get rid of that swing in the ball.
