Cummins & Wykes out for the Force. Hodgson not on the plane today either.

Going to be a good test of the Force's depth.

Yeah Wykes has been out of form and Alcock has out played Hodgo. Cummins is a big lose but he hasnt been at his best so a rest could help. Delitt was playing really good until he was injured so he will be fine.

Team something like this

1. Pek
2. Charles
3. Falkner
4. Lynn
5. MMM
6. Gus
7. Alcock
8. Brown/McCalman

9. Alby
10. Sias
11. Mafi
12. Godwin
13. Stanley?
14. Delitt
15. Tupou

16. Whittiker (unless the Force will give Teesman his 4th game and a full contrac)
17. Maafu
18. Battye
19. Brown/McCalman
20. Snowden/Eaton
21. Haywood
22. Junior

What's going on with Ed Stubbs?

I'm surprised a player of his calibre can't get a run in this Force side.........

He played in the Force A game scored a try. I would rather him at 15 and Tupou at 13 but doubt that will happen as he only just played. He was called in to the SA tour as cover for Delitt when he went down so he isnt far away.

On paper, Reds by a million but it never seems to play out that way against the Force.
It will be fairly close but Reds by 12 with an elusive bonus point, I hope

Force look very well drilled this year.

I really won't be surprised at all if there is an upset, Reds don't look themselves.

With Genia back this week, whether or not hes back in full form (doubtful) his presence on the field adds a lot more attacking options around the ruck channels and will give Quade some confidence to play wider and faster, those factors alone will give the Reds forwards a little boost which should get them on top of a not-so-great Force pack. I can't see the Reds dropping this one.

It's good to be well drilled.
But it's bad that the patterns/style drilled into the squad is all about ball retention,not testing the defence.
I'm predicting that the Force will win the stats(possession,low errors,maybe even territory)but the Reds will win the game.

Depends which Force team turns up. If its the team that played the Kings, shouldn't rtouble the Reds to much - if it's the team that played the Bulls - then it's game on!

Strong team. The right replacements were made for Ioane and Shipperely.

Bit suprised that Wallace-Harrison was selected in favour of Buttler.

think Schatz has made 8 his, puts in a huge effort each week, plays fairly tight, very busy (as does Quirk) which makes life easier for the rest of forwards
Good side but look forward to a better side next week when Horwill returns
