Interesting that Alcock is selected at 7 over McCutcheon. All the preseason rumblings and selections pointed to the opposite.
Terrible shame that Barnes is out. The Reds must become firm favourites now.
Hangers is going to need to play out of his skin.
Edit: I take it that McCutcheon must be injured as Jenkins is on the bench.

No Quirk is probably the only surprise for the Reds, guess he didn't impress enough in the trials to force Samo to lock reserve instead of Van the roller.
Doesn't look as strong as last year, but on paper looks better than the severely weakened Tahs who are already injury riddled.

Shit I like that! Van's back to roll some! That's a good bench.

I can't speak for all the other geries on site but I don't mind that at all. It would be a bloody sight more interesting than watching fools in blow up suits make idiots of themselves.

The Tahs also have no lock reserve. Guess Dennis will be it, unless L. Timani can sub as a lock in an emergency?
Some Tahs players missing that would probably otherwise be in the 22 named:
Vickerman, S. Timani, Elsom, McCutcheon
Barnes, Mitchell, Turner, Pakalani
Did I miss any?

It is an odd choice considering Foley named an 8 man leadership group and Halangahu wasn't part of that group.
Sadly 4 of those 8 players are currently/permanently injured.
