When you consider the backline we have had with most of that pack you wonder how we could be so poor the last coupe of years.
Looking at our potential team there is no reason we should not compete for a finals berth

I'm not sure if it has been mentioned on these forums before but our coach isn't all that great. One of the reasons we know this is, as you say, we have had a good pack and backline.
The pack mentioned above only has two major downgrades, so 'potential' will be used a bit this year I feel.

Unfortunately yes you are 3000% right. Last season we generally had the better of the set piece, scrum and line out definitely. And possession stats in our advantage. Then look at that back line.
I have never coached, but honest, I don't know how you start with that base and conspire to loose. A lot.
What's better this time is S&C, assistant coach, the guys bringing the EPS through. We match ourselves, IMO with the scrum coach.
The only fail is the bloke in charge and the board that put him there.

Any idea of when the Reds will be announcing their u20 training squad?

I still rate the shit out of Jarome McKenzie. He was basically player of the NRC regular season 2014 and I claimed the Reds should have had a look last year but he broke his leg. He still looks the goods, if we can find space in any one of our (seemingly numerous) squad systems I reckon we would not be disappointed

He is a winger yeah?
Winger is one position i don't think the Reds are short in, fullback and flyhalf are where the Reds weakness for 2016 is.
In terms of wingers, is McKenzie better then players like Laloifi and Perese?

I'd say at least as good and is probably closer to being able to step in straight away to Super Rugby without missing a beat. Some of the stuff he did against the Rising and Perth was absolutely class.

I want to see the Brisbane City back line in the Reds next year. Samu and Taefu are going great guns as the centre pairing

Taefu will get a gig in the setup somewhere. Ex-Broncos U20, and seriously good player.

I really like him. Has the ability to punch the ball up as well as distribute and kick. Impressive.

JOC (James O'Connor) back to Toulon as projected (I guess). That was always going to be the end result if he didn't make the Wallabies. Toulon indicated same. His signing with the Reds has been a complete and utter waste of time. This was all so predictable. Who is to blame? Could it be the Head Coach again?

It's been said before but there surely cannot be a more incompetent organisation in the sporting world. The subbies clubs are run better than this mob.
It's interesting to see former Reds staff reactions on Twitter every time news is announced.
I was talking to a recently former Reds coach a few weeks back and without a doubt as bad as we all think it is, it is 100x worse.

Very much as predicted.....re JOC (James O'Connor).
Re Knuckles ....when he joined it was very definitely announced by the QRU that he'd been retained right through the 2016 season...how the QRU could deal in this way with a bloke who stepped into the shit mess to help, and who had prior given so much to QLD rugby, defies comprehension.

Sooooooooooo who paid for JOC (James O'Connor)'s surgery and now rehab? Seems Toulon got a bargain out of this.
With the Force, Rebels and now Reds bitten by him, surely he's running out of options of playing for the Wallabies again (I doubt the Brumbies will bother with him and, so the tahs could low ball him if he wants the extra 16 caps).
