"I have that sick in the guts feeling that we are going to be given a lesson again this weekend. That is not going to stop me from being there. I have been a reds supporter now for 20 + years so a few losses is just what happens. Last year was great going to game and expecting a win, rather then...

I'm going to the game. Been through the ups and downs over 20 years. They will get there shit together, if not now, eventually. Some good playes in the academy pushing forward, just need another number 10!!!!!! Go the Reds

I liked the look of some of the combinations in the Easts team. They get them going and they will look sharp. I recall 4 fairly young academy players out there so 'full of' might be a bit full on! Souths looked good. Fitness to play a full 80 will see them brining a good contest to their season...

It's been a dead horse that I have been flogging for years. Just think of the extra rugby up for watching! I say bring on another comp.

I sincerely hope that the powers to be in the ARU are taking note. A 30 man squad with 5 EPS backups are just not going to cut it in the professional game. We need to have the Provinces A team playing each other, and even a few OS games, at the start of the season at least. Expecting players to...

Frisby can kick. Murphy can kick also. Quirk hasn't been injuried to my knowledge. He played the first QLD A game and did such a great job they stopped him playing the next QLD A game and he was selected for the 22 in the Reds game against the Force at home. Good to see him back in the 22...

It was awesome watching the Reds last year. Surely we all knew that this year was going to be fard. Being the most closely scrutinised team + Premiership hangover + injuries = a very tough year. Go the Reds

He has a high work rate and aggressive in the tackle. He might be young and raw but he has a good aggressive edge. Don't know why he didn't get a run over in SA. Gotta be mad to not use him this weekend.

Wrong coast for Enever. He was Sunny Cost and Sean Cox was inside centre I believe.

Agree to disagree. Smaller sized players have a great role to play but you still need biggers players to take the brunt at times. Especially when the bigger guys are pushing us backwards.Horne is big but Ant and McCabe aren't that big compared to world classed players. Have a look at the Sharks...

My concern, for Australian Rugby as well as the Reds, is the size of our players. Rugby is for every size and shape but we really do need some bigger centres and players like Higgers. He is big and agile. Face it, we got smashed by the Bulls. They hit our guys and hard. Same happens in the Sevens!

Cave dweller - 2008!!!!!! Really.. thats when some players were still in nappies!(nearly) If they were last year or even the year before, but shit, how long are we going back. Doesn't his good record after 2008 come into account. Also that he is not a malice player. I am over the going back to...

Maybe an option is Genia to ten and Frsiby to nine... Major blow with so many injuries to key positions. Half team there and half just missing. Higgers had a great game. The alarm bell to wake some of them up from their premiership winning dream of last year might just happen now.

Spewn - a gong for best actor would have taken pride on his mantle. I was going to say chuck him a soccer ball but that might not be appropriate at the moment!!!

So has NZ picked their squad yet?

Conversation came up at work about expctations of these boys winning the comp when the naming of the team is still over a month away! How long have the other teams been playing together so far this year!

Tackles are bound to go wrong at times. Some hit them with malice and some just go wrong. The unfortunate thing is that you only have splits of a second to try and correct. 2008 is many rugby games ago and that much of a break is a positive not a negative. His style of playing does not indicate...

Appealed immediatley but original ban stands.

Didn't say he didn't. Said he has a powerful leg drive and tends to go low, thats were he gets into trouble.....especially when he then drives up.

Digby tackles low and has a powerful leg drive. Thats were he gets into trouble. Here he didn't keep the lift going. If he had it would have been a spear tackle. The tackle went horizontal and the guy hit the pitch shoulder and side. No spearing involved. He didn't land on top of him persay but...
