Brandon Paenga-Amosa from southern Districts signed for 2 years
Talking of Southern Districts, the player that I really like who never seems to get a mention for higher honours is Michael Carbone.

S&C staff have had a bit of a makeover as well:
S&C Head Coach: Nikalas Superina, previously in Italy in Japan as S&C coach
S&C Coach: Daniel Cooper, previous S&C and SF Operator at the SAS in Perth
Interesting mix, Daniel Coopers mentality towards training will no doubt suit Brad Thorns more traditional theory and attitude training, not sure how Nikalas Superina fits into the picture, hasn't been in Australia for the past decade.
As expected, Carozza will join coaching team:
Carozza will join newly appointed Head Coach Brad Thorn and recently appointed Assistant Coach Tony McGahan to form the coaching team for 2018

I managed to miss this. Who is Carozza and what is he like? I thought we had reports here that Tony had decided to move on. With or without Tony, it still seems very light on in terms of coaching staff.
That'd be Marcus Carbone

Carozza is the right kind of nepotism. Great player with a lot of heart and toe. Been around Qld rugby for 15 years coaching our younger sides. He bleeds Queensland Reds. I'd have loved someone with experience at a higher level but I just can't see Paul letting us down.
Hi Dru, take a look at this, as Reg says he famously got smashed after scoring a try v the ABs but still managed to play on and score the try to win us the game. Small bloke, quick elusive winger, but pound for pound one of the toughest I've ever seen play. One of my favourite Reds of all time. Go to around 1:20 in this recap from Fox Rugby HQ - sorry mods if this is against forum rules.
Ngamanu is no longer eligible for 20’s and I heard the Reds were not too keen on him or Riley and only offered them a no contract training gig, they must have someone else in mind. Alex Horan and Tony Hunt could be the development players in the squad at centers but I can’t se them getting a run any time soon.really light on in centres - not even a development option like horan or riley - hope the next batch of qld u20s unearth something. Feel a bit sorry for ngamano (spelling), hopefully he gets another crack at u20 if he's young enough.
