Yep, away to Bulls, Sharks then a byeMan, a month between home games from 5-Apr to 3-May. Which I'm guessing is the annual trip to SA followed by a bye (or bye then trip).

Just saw the forgotten man of Queensland rugby (no not Quade or Frisby) but Vanzanti has been named in the Forces 10s to for the Mauritius tournament.
I hope that even though Slipper is banned from playing at the moment that he is not banned from helping the game.
You have to wonder how far the "line in the sand" is drawn. Hunt is not playing club nor allowed to attend a club..
Is that correct? I hadn’t heard that.
it might even benefit him by getting him involved in something really positive as he is clearly having to deal with some negative things in life at the moment.
Such a shit situation all round. I hope we see him playing super rugby again.JAMES Slipper is set to be the fourth highly-paid Queensland player collecting cheques for doing not much.The Wallabies prop, suspended for two months for a second positive cocaine test, had signed a two-year extension with the Reds prior to his bust.Slipper’s deal takes him through to the end of 2020, but word is Reds coach Brad Thorn will not pick him to play another game.Thorn has taken the same stance against Karmichael Hunt, while Quade Cooper and Nick Frisby are also earning big money but not being selected to play by the coach for cultural reasons.We’re told other Australian franchises are keen to sign Slipper, but the 29-year-old is caring for his mother who has terminal cancer.It’s unlikely Slipper would want to leave her at this difficult time — he blames much of his spiral into drugs on her diagnosis — to play for another team in a different state.That means he could remain in Brisbane and earn his guaranteed contract money in 2019 and 2020 while Thorn refuses to select him.With Slipper, Cooper, Hunt and Frisby all in that boat, it’s close to $1 million of the Reds’ salary cap sitting idle.
Reds use the same contract as everyone else.If nothing else it's very apparent that the Reds need better controls around when they can terminate a contract and a reduced pay packet if they aren't being picked to play.

They need better controls around who they are signing to their contracts
