No longer the Festival of Hate.

This year we have the inaugural -

Festivus of Apathy

Not sure the Gibson/Stiles trophy is a suitable name, both men likely to lose their jobs after the first time it is held.

I think this season has more meaning that any that have been played in the past.

Imagine getting beaten by the 2017 Waratahs team!!! It would never be forgotten.

You'd expect minimum changes for the Reds, perhaps with some adjustments on the bench and Rodda starting for Lukhan Tui. I guess the question becomes what happens to Moore? I'd actually like to see Mafi start again:

15 Hunt, 14 Perese, 13 Kerevi, 12 Paia'aua, 11 Nabuli, 10 Cooper, 9 Tuttle

8 Higgers, 7 Smith, 6 Tui, 5 Simmons, Rodda, 3 Talakai, 2 Mafi, 1 Faga'ase

16 Ready, 17 Sanday, 18 Tupou, 19 Douglas, 20 Houston, 21 Frisby, 22 Mcntyre, 23 Magnay

As for the Tahs, they'll have to make changes. Kepu is back right? He'll be straight in for Ryan. Taquele to go too? Could Izzy go to 13 with Horne to the wing and Heagerty to fullback? Mumm will likely start again.

Like it Reg, also would select Mafi to start.

I don't see the advantage of McIntyre on the bench. If needed 10 can be covered by Frisbey or DP - something I think you suggested previously?

What is the gossip out of training around Houston? Unless there is something interesting I would have selected Korzcyk on the bench.

The only thing to watch is whether Stiles thinks another size 12 boot is needed.

You may be right about McIntyre. Well, you are right. Not sure who we pick on the bench then. The talk that Magnay and Houston will be back to provide impact from the bench. If not McIntyre then do we need Teafu to cover the inside back role? Only really Maranta or Kuridrani as other alternatives.

I don't think we need 6 forwards on the bench do we?

Wouldn't mind seeing more of Stewart. We need to be developing a decent 10.

It's the tahs. 5/3 surely.

To be announced later in the week, but here is the new look trophy to be awarded to the winner, it is called the Hankey Nugget.

If the reds don't concede unnecessary cards they really should beat the Tahs. Besides Hooper and Foley the Tahs look genuinely soulless.
