Queensland Reds 2025

[Ignoto]

I believe he and his missus even split up because of it and she wasn't keen to move with him.

Hahah bloody hell that's rough.

Sounds like Massimo is still recovering from his busted hand?

Yeah, Massimo was listed as unavailable due to injury when the wallabies squad was named.

Expecting something like this:

1 Blake
2 Fourie
3 Fa'agase
4 Canham
5 Brosnan
6 Brial
7 Herbert
8 Uru
9 Thomas
10 Mclaughlin-Phillips
11 Ryan
12 Henry
13 Pakeho
14 Anderson
15 Campbell

16 Hough
17 Harris
18 King
19 Vest
20 Muller
21 Martens
22 Rubens
23 McCulloch

With Bloomfield, Robinson, and Conway the extras. There's a fair bit of flex from a few of those players in terms of position though, and we might get thee coaches keen to see how some of the fringe guys outside the squad go before Super AU so the may mix it up a bit.

Tbh I’d just keep Bloomfield and king as your tight heads rather than having fa’agase switch sides. Vest to start at lock and replace him with Bronson.
Your backline is spot on.

 

[Sword of Justice]

We've all come up with the "I need to move to a foreign remote island for work" excuse before to get out of a relationship.

When they agree to move with you:

Tbh I’d just keep Bloomfield and king as your tight heads rather than having fa’agase switch sides. Vest to start at lock and replace him with Bronson.
Your backline is spot on.

I'd probably have Robinson over Muller too, since there's likely plenty of lock / six cover between Uru, Vest, and Brial anyway.

The main reason for that is to take a look at Harris for next season - I think we're more likely to be in need of a loose head than a tight head at this stage.

Similarly with Robinson I think Muller as a possible lock to round out the squad is more important. I don't think we're in as immediate need of depth at 7 in the squad, but if we are Herbert would be the one to bring in (with Robinson already on a development deal).

Is Bryant already in Italy?

Should be.

So, we got Ross, Blake and Fa'agase on LHP side with Hodgman a serious threat of retirement. All those guys can get the job done. I agree with playing Harris to get a look at him (never seen him play) with Blake on the bench - or vice versa.
I agree, Muller should get a go, 2nd row is a weak point depth wise.
