Every single starting player plus half the reserves deserve points.

Without the Pigs going forward and securing the phase ball (and set peice ball) the likes of Cooper and Genia who were both excellent, could not shine. The work from the pigs was top class.

I wasn't going to give points to Cooper due to his missed kicks but I honestly don't think I have ever seen a better passing display from any player than what he did in that game. He is a stark contrast to his other oz competition in that his first thought is to set his backs up first. The others are either runners first (JOC (James O'Connor) and giteau) or kickers (barnes), and the reds outside backs must just love playing outside him.

Another amazing game from the Reds. They are playing fast and loose and it is winning rugby. Plenty of contenders tonight.

3. Quade Cooper
2. James Horwill
1. Radike Samo

QC (Quade Cooper) blitzed this game. I wanted to mark down that heart attack flick-pass and his goal kicking, but even so you gotta give it to him. Harris would do better with the tee but I'd also like to see Cooper improve there.

As mentioned already, the forwards provided the front-foot platform to set up the win. Big Kev was excellent. I went for Samo as well because it was great to see such a big unit hitting it hard in attack and defence. Robinson, Slipper and Genia were also on top of their game. Hopefully the players don't all forget how to play it tight as well when they have to, like against the Stormers.

3- Daley- Would have been a 2 but for his cameo at the end
2- Slipper- Not long ago the worlds refs would penalise the Wallabies if Baxter was at tight head, he was always to blame. I think Slipper has solved this problem, when was he last penalised? He is indestructable at the scrum, the tripod lives on. He gives QLD and the Wallabies certainty at the scrum and it seems his opponants are always penalised. Awesome effort.
1- QC (Quade Cooper)

3 Quade Cooper
2 Ant Fainga'a
1 Ben Daley

plenty of other options including Luke Morahan who's in career best form.

3. Horwill (led from the front)
2. Cooper (audacious as ever, flick pass on own try line, but led the team around well)
1. Ioane (as always, super strong in contact, never goes backwards)

Special note, I thought Morahan had a very good game, jeez he's quick. Also the rest of the forward pack, they played tough when needed and then became ball players as well. Well done Reds, really showing more than any other of the Aussie teams IMO, in terms of structures, ability to change thing if not going to plan, of actually having more than one plan.

Good call on Morahan, Reg.

The bloke has got a bit of size about him too. Always handy at fullback and also when joining line in attack. He made some great runs tonight.
