Gosh, even Chuck Norris didn't beat up his cat and steal his dinner until he was 5.
No one is ever 100% right, but we too often only remember their errors
It is a difficult notion to get around often that less becomes more.
His statement highlights why I like Foley as a 10 and also why when Cooper stops trying to win a game on his own, he is also a fantastic 10, probably our best.

pffft - the reds will be rode hard and put away wet by the tahs
It's his thumb not a pinky. Impossible to bind.Interesting question. When does Holmes return?
Never heard of someone been out for so long because of a pinky injury. I suppose it makes it hard for him to grab a jersey when packing a scrum, but gees
1. James Slipper, 2. Saia Fainga’a, 3. Sam Talakai, 4. Dave McDuling, 5. James Horwill, 6. Adam Thomson, 7. Liam Gill, 8. Jake Schatz, 9. Will Genia, 10. James O’Connor, 11. Chris Feauai-Sautia, 12. Anthony Fainga’a, 13. Ben Tapuai, 14. Chris Kuridrani, 15. Lachie Turner
16. James Hanson, 17. Ben Daley, 18. Sef Faagase, 19. Marco Kotze, 20. Curtis Browning,21. Nick Frisby, 22. Sam Johnson, 23. Campbell Magnay
So no Kerevi, with Taps coming straight in to 13.
JOC (James O'Connor) stays at 10.
Kev back in the starting line-up with Dools his partner. Kotze onto the bench.
The centres worry me a little. Fainga'a's ability to take Beale out of the game will be critical.

Kerevi must be injured right? The only 2 players in that backline that will get over the ad line are on the wings and the only time they see the ball is broken play or off Genia. Those centres sure as hell won't get it there. Taps must be doing some amazing things at training.

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) out through injury. One to be omitted from the bench. My guess is it will be a forward and will probably be Lousi.
Folau named as co vice-captain for the first time ever.

Ant at 12 and Taps at 13?
I don't recall that being a success last year.
I understand RG not wanting to frig around with the back line - but I would have thought his primary 12 was Taps and his primary 13 was Kerevi heading into the season meaning that Ant was his reserve centre and therefore would fit in around the other two (much as I appreciate Ant's defensive starch he provides).
I recall RG even said last year that Taps favoured position was 12 when heswitched returned Tapuaii there at the end of the season when Anthony was injured.
Disappointed to hear about the Kerevi injury

How many weeks for a cork? Knowing our luck it is season ending.

I think with the guilty plea and the sudden freeing of funds, there is a concerted push by the powers to start giving Folau every reason to stay put in Sydney and with the ARU. They would (and should) throw everything to keep him in the game.
Am starting to get fired up for this one, am really keen to see how hard the NSW forwards are going to hit this one up after two reasonably weak performances against the 2 "weaker" aus teams. QLD will be like a bull at the gate waiting for this. I think the NSW backs will have to much class in any event, but gee the forwards match up is looking like some interesting viewing. I wonder if the NSW boys have taught Potgeiter how to hate QLD yet?

Even with Kerevi injured, it's like a punch in my guts everytime I see
12. Fainga'a
13. Tapuai
IT'S BETTER THE OTHER WAY AROUND RICHARD YOU MORON!

You could make an argument that the Reds, Force and Rebels are all playing their centres back to front.
The Rebels is the least obvious, but you could certainly make a case that 12. Ellison 13. Inman would be better.

What did Naiyarovoro do to get himself drop? I much prefer seeing Betham there.
