Having let go of Kotze, Murday, Horwill, O'Donoghue all after last season and now NRC Prospect Ben Hyne has been scooped up by the Brumbies for a pre season contract. The Reds are now in hunt of a replacement in the row. Simmons and Neville will now be the starting couple with only Rodda, Tui on there books.
What was a very strong looking tight five is now looking rather shaky with rumours that both Holmes and Slipper could miss the early few rounds. IMO Talakai and Faagase would be great replacements however the row is an area of major concern

A ruptured ACL is usually a 6month rehabilitation process, if Kane Douglas plays for the Reds in 2016 it won't be until the later half of the season, realistically he will only feature in the last 3 games following the June test series, any more then that is a bonus.
Slipper will get the shoulder looked at on return and if a full reconstruction is necessary then he could be out for 4-6months as well.
On another note, the other Wallaby forwards Holmes and Simmons are injury free and should be right to go for the season opener.

I think you'll find there will be plenty of people willing to chip in for the cost of the plane ticket.

My thoughts too. We still have Stiles though and you just don't know what he can do.
What do we know about Rodda and Tui?

Rodda played colts for Easts and is in the U20's program. Tui played Aus 20s last season but has only a handful of years in rugby coming from a Rugby League background. Both too young and too inexperienced to be on the bench in the tight 5.
I'm hearing that Curis Browning could be a potential replacement on the bench as Super Rugby cover. We will lose some height however will have a lot of mobility around that area

So for the Season opener.
Injured: JJT, Douglas, Slipper, Holmes
Potentially still in Japan: Tui, Goromaru
Anyone else booked for a short spell on the sideline? Any news on guys who missed out on some NRC: Schatz, Browning, Fakasolia, Daley, Fainga'a, Gunn, A.Fainga'a, CFS?
Other Injured NRC prospects - Big Tupou? Perese ?(Heard he's getting a contract here), Richie Arnold? That huge Sikheau or however you spell in from QLD Country?

Hope not, but they need some 2nd rowers badly. I have no idea about those players, just looking for info.

I had heard that Homer will be good to go at the start of the season too.

Curtis Browning is far to short to play lock..Reds need another lock in the event of injuries to Neville or Simmons.

not really. He was solid enough in the NRC. But I think we need a Super Rugby ready lock to sit on the bench.

Was thinking Criff Tupou, the big bro, only got a couple NRC games back looked damaging.
