Reds 2011

[TheTruth]

Reds backrow for me next year.

6. Higgers
7. Gill
8. Shatz

Lucas can be the reserve halfback, and inside back. Which frees up another forward position on the bench.

Still unsure on Gilly's size (for next year) are you talking about Ben Lucas (and not brother Matt) I hope

 

[chief]

Ben Lucas of course.

Size doesn't matter for Gill. Look how well he's playing in Argentina.

 

[Mullsey]

Gill is a menace. When he played for terrace and australian schools just last year he was miles ahead of his opposite number/s.
and from form he has been in for the sevens and U20's is pretty good considering he is still only 17.

Agree he is a special young man

little par in the paper today:

Rugby Star Quade Cooper will face a committal hearing on a burglary charge next week after mediation talks with his alleged victims broke down. The Wallaby and Queensland playmaker and an alleged accomplice were charged late last year with breaking into a Surfers Paradise house, occupied by foreign university students, where two lap top computers were allegedly stolen. A committal hearing will proceed as scheduled on Friday week.

Oh well, I had heard they were going promisingly.

 

[Ash]

Alleged accomplice?

 

[Newb]

could be referring to his former mullet. quade has since severed ties on advice of counsel.

 

[Scotty]

I have heard rumours as the the alleged accomplice, and am surprised it has managed to keep out of the media.

Are you telling us something?

 

[RugbyReg]

I have heard rumours as the the alleged accomplice, and am surprised it has managed to keep out of the media.

yep me too. I'm surprised he hasn't been HOOKED yet either.

 

[DPK]

I heard it was an INSIDE job.

 

[Scotty]

Well, your two rumours are obviously very different to mine. I thought this other person had the full backing of QC (Quade Cooper).

 

[Ash]

So we have a rumoured hooker, inside centre and fullback so far for the accomplice. Any more?

 

[DPK]

Uh... I should just point out my source is pretty flakey. And not from Queensland.

Edit: also, the player suspected has a twin, so they may have been confused with each other.

 

[RugbyReg]

so we've no incriminated Hynes, the Faingaas and Geoff Abram.

I think its harsh on Hynes and the Faingaas.

 

[Ash]

Noddy; don't forget the "...allegedly".

Anyone have any clue on the attempted mediation? A part of me wonders if cash was requested. Would love to know if Cooper was actually caught with a laptop or not, or what the deal with the stolen laptops is, and what the deal is with the accomplice (who is not a Finger twin or Hynes, apparently, but may have a name sounding similar to a tank, allegedly).

 

[Mullsey]

wasn't it the same night as hynes bucks party or something along the lines of that? could be wrong

 

[Ash]

Yes, it was. Supposedly Cooper was completely wasted and went back to Hynes' place earlier than others. Rumour I heard was that he went to the wrong house (across the road?), found it locked and broke in and collapsed on the couch. Do not know if this rumour is anywhere even close to the truth or not.

 

[Scotty]

That rumour doesn't really work with the whole accomplice thing though, does it? And doesn't quite explain the laptops either.

 

[Scotty]

And I think there is a good chance that the 'international students' were asking for some cash.
