Could be a problem. Unless we can have a squad of about 60 and the ability to play about 3 people in each position (and some in multiple positions) we'll never finish selection meetings in time for games.
Although some selections would be easy. McKenzie would be back as coach and Gill & Holmes wouldn't be allowed to leave. Ever.

from the QRU Release
Queensland Rugby Union (QRU) CEO Jim Carmichael will depart as CEO of QRU today after a successful seven-year tenure as the codes leading executive.
In March this year, Carmichael signalled his intention to step down. After ongoing discussion with Chairman, Damien Frawley, they have agreed that now is the appropriate time for Carmichael to exit the business. QRU Chairman Damien Frawley said that Carmichael has been "a committed and dedicated executive". With the new QRU Board having settled in, the search for a new CEO is in its late stages, as well as commencement of the implementation of the QRUs next five-year strategy, which compliments the ARUs five-year blueprint for the game, Carmichael will now pursue other professional opportunities.
QRU Chairman Damien Frawley said: “Jim and I have been speaking since March and there have been a number of things he and I wanted him to finalise before his departure. When Jim arrived at Ballymore from Melbourne in 2009 there was huge uncertainty around the game and this organisation. His prior business experience outside Rugby allowed him to come to us with a fresh perspective.
“During Jim’s seven years as CEO, QRU has experienced considerable growth in Rugby participation and Reds membership. I’d like to thank Jim for his significant contribution. We wish him and his family well for the future. It is an all consuming role.”
Leading QRU executives, Daniel Herbert and Dave Hanham will assume day to day responsibilities of the business reporting directly through to Chairman, Damien Frawley, for the short period until the new CEO is announced.

I'd prefer to keep Matwijow over Cadeyrn Neville if it came down to a choice.
Curtis Browning impressed me at No.8, so my preference again would be to keep him there.
There's been talk that Kyle Godwin's development is being stunted at the Force, and the last I could find was a three-year extension back in 2013.
He should be off contract at the end of this season. He's a well-rounded centre with a good distribution game who could really help unlock Kerevi and the other wide threats. The signing might have ARU support too.
I'd really like to see the Reds put Sunnybank halfback Issak Fines-Leleiwasa on an EPS contract, just so he doesn't get pinched by the Force/Rebels. He's a really dynamic ball-runner with good strength through contact - I'd put him on par with Genia in terms of speed.
His biggest weakness, decision making, would only improve with time in the Reds, and he's got a much higher ceiling than Tuttle or Gale - neither of whom could be described as 'gifted' athletes.
Fines isn't the answer, but he'll get signed sooner or later and I'd rather it was by us.

"What we want to do is have an identity like the Crusaders that is something that outlives people."
Hire Todd Blackadder.
Appoint everyone he wants to appoint.
Implement every single thing he says.
Ignore every single idea that anyone within the upper management or board of the QRU *ever* have about anything to do with running or producing a high performance unit because as an institution the QRU have a demonstrated history of showing that their systems are not capable of delivering on their goals.

I'd much rather get an ITM Cup coach from New Zealand.
Seems to be a breeding ground for quality - just look at how good the Chiefs have been since getting Keiran Keane on-board from Tasman. Their attack is the best it's ever been.
With coaching positions in NZ settled for now, the better ITM Cup coaches will be looking elsewhere to take the next step coaching. Canterbury won the competition last year under Scott Robertson. Surely he'd be worth looking at for our head coaching gig?
