With Phipps announcing his departure at season's end, I'd like to see Stirzaker get much more game time, as per last year's tour. Regardless that this time, it's at the start of the season.

If anyone is keen on watching it at 2am with others, the Imperial looks like a good location, with a 24/7 license. Turf is unfortunately closed it seems.

Pretty sure he's just doing that to spite my team selections. Will be JOC (James O'Connor) at flyhalf then, Mitchell will stay 12. Hopefully he doesn't fall over this week.

Any one else see the pictures of the Rebels in SA, looks like Pyle might be nursing a knee injury at the moment.

Think Roberts at 10 in his second game is a big call, it is something I would like to see this season though.

If JOC (James O'Connor) and Roberts are the 10 and 15 I would play them the other way around to the team that played the Reds.

I think JOC (James O'Connor) will have a bigger impact from 15 and Roberts should be reasonable at 10 with his kicking game and giving options to those outside him.

The other option would be to play Woodward at fullback, Roberts at 10 and JOC (James O'Connor) at 12.

JOC (James O'Connor) at 10 limits the Rebels best player in having to do too much himself when he is closest to the ruck and lots of defenders.

First time this year I will be tipping against the Rebels. It hurts but it's 5 rounds in and the bye is keeping me alive!

I think we all know it's going to be this

Phipps
JOC (James O'Connor)
Vuna
Mitchell
Inman
Kingi
Roberts

And another 10 point loss where we try really, really hard but can't actually score any second-half points.

I think Kingi is likely to go to the bench and Woodward to start. Have been reading that Beale is likely to play, which if it is the case it could be the strongest back line we have had available all year.

He's an excellent goalkicker as well. The side looks so much better balanced with him in it. Mitchell, like Phipps, is a bit of an undroppable though. We're going to see those two in the XV, it's inevitable.
