Great news, but I dont think I could fit in all 3 of them, maybe 2 of them.

Harris is a definite for the bench. Davies or hynes the other bench spot with Lucas the back up half.

What happened to Lucas last night injury early looked bad but then he played out the game (quite well). Just a cork?

I heard yesterday that the black arm bands the Reds were wearing in the Crusaders match were for the passing of Jake Shatz's mother. I would just like to express my condolances to Jake and the Shatz family. The bloke is way to young to lose a parent. Chin up mate as you have your team mates and the rugby community in support of you.

I'd say Harris would come back starting 12 (even though Tapuai has played well). Then you gotta work where Hynes, Davies, Lucas and Morahan go. Personally, I'd have Morahan and Hynes starting, with Lucas and Davies on the bench (with Lucas also being half-back cover).

Either way it's win win, lets just hope Beau Robinson isn't out for too long

And his old school - Churchie, Brisbane - 1st XV recently wore black arm bands for him and his family as well.

I must say that Ben Lucas does a great job for the Reds. He tackles his heart out and comes into the line as second ball player really well. He has no fear and is happy to take on guys who are close to twice his size. I couldn't leave him out of the starting 15 the way he is playing.

Just as an Aside Aiden Toua has suffered a knee injury and is having a Recon this week - season gone.

Yeah the Courier Mail said he would be out for the rest of the premier rugby season I think. A real shame

THE Queensland Reds have suffered a major blow with tireless blindside flanker Beau Robinson ruled out for up to five weeks.

Robinson, who dislocated his elbow in the second half of Queensland's gripping 17-16 victory over the Crusaders, may miss the play-offs.

More will be known after he undergoes surgery tomorrow but he is expected to be ruled out for three to five weeks.

With specialist back-up Liam Gill in Italy as a member of the Australia's Under-20 squad for the world championships, the Reds are pondering whether they should ask the ARU for permission to send him home.

Coach Ewen McKenzie described Robinson's injury as a huge blow and admitted there was no stand-out replacement.

"There is a range of options," McKenzie said.

"We obviously have some internally. It is something we will look at this week. I think you guys have asked the question in the paper.

Blindside?

Anyhow, pretty bad news. We NEED Gill back.

I forgot about him. I hope Link leaves Gill as a last resort type selection.

If they dont get gill back they have to pick from either:

Tomiki, Coridas, Luafutu or schatz.

However if I was link I would be doing what vidiot suggested:

Give George Smith a ring. He can play some real rugby before tucking into the suntory.

The bloke hardly ever plays a bad game, and im more than sure that with the reds bandwagon the way it is at the moment some businessman would put up the money to bring him to qld until the end of the season.

Tasi Luafutu is a left field choice but he has done the business there for the Reds before, and would be match fit from his stint in NZ, and now playing Prems in Brisbane.
