? Reimer played off the bench against MP (Moana Pasifika). Even allowing for his pilfering ability, I think the starting backrow is settled with any of Valetini, Hooper, Brown and Cale.

Impressed with Cale's physicality vs Moana. Thought he'd get bullied but was very effective. Uses his speed and agility well to get between defenders. Big fan of Brown as well, very reliable.

Cale is impressive, I think he will be playing at 8 for the Wallabies, he is already impressive and should only get better.

I think the Force have shown the Reds to be the pretenders that they are whilst Brumbies class is coming to the fore. You really have to admire them for their ability to command the Australian rugby landscape and develop players into Wallabies. Massive respect from this QLD poster.
Coupled with the Reds near inability to catch a ball this week in training given the rain, gotta be Brums by a healthy 25+ margin.

Reimer was so good in the first couple of rounds. I've said for a while on here that he's the best on ball 7 in the country. Yes over McReight, (not by much) but McReight brings other facets to his game that Luke doesn't. Think he'd be the perfect guy to slow down Tate's ability to recycle possession quickly but I also understand if the Brumbies have a plan to bring him on in the last 20 mins and shut a game down.

Reds with a 6 day turnaround and a trip back from Perth, but having the home ground advantage. Pretty much an even playing field, so probably a close result. Brumbies hit a purple patch of form last week, but no guarantee it will now continue week to week. Until we see a sustained period of high performance from the Brumbies, I am leaning towards a Reds win by less than 7.
It’s just a shame this game is in Easter weekend. Many people away for the long weekend which will impact the crowd.
Assume no Flook nor Petaia which is a massive concern.
Others have said it but the Reds have been found out. Wilson wrecked. Game plan easily nullified. Kiss’s bounce factor over. It was good while it lasted. Brumbies by 12.

Yeh the Caxton St vendors will be filthy.
Broncos v Cowboys on Good Friday which would usually be close to a sellout.
Reds v Brumbies Easter Saturday which probably draws the biggest Reds crowd these days.

Phil you always chime in with some rugby league factoid…
how are Caxton street vendors filthy if they have a Good Friday sellout for the league?

Not a 6 day turn around, game is on Saturday

Because they're all closed? Last I checked trading on Good Friday is one of the last proper public holidays where there is very limited to no trading.

Also applies to beverages purchased within the stadium, so can't imagine Broncos/Suncorp Stadium are too happy either

Stadium has an exemption for Good Friday
