Filipo Daugunu is a member of the young brigade of rugby players in Australian rugby capable of performing the extraordinary feats in rugby that brings the fans to the games. He definitely has the X factor. But the recent exposure of his defensive flaws makes him vulnerable and a risk to his...

^^^Based on form? Definitely a NO from me Nelic. BUT Im not BT.:p Of the 3 wingers Id say Filipo is likely to miss out based on form(mo). Form being D&A. Letting in five tries in past 2 games and scoring 2? It's simple maths there I think. I wouldnt be surprised if Reds go with Perese and...

oooops, should have used a desk top. sorry for error ridden msg before.

But you'd have to think Lance will remain 10 and Stewart should be in the team. I'd be more inclined to bench Petaia then. As a rookie it won't harm him. Why would you bench the kid? All things being equal, fact hes only 18; fact hes been close to our best back line defender since he started. So...

Upsets in order: Doggies will bite back against East who have enjoyed the service of their professional stars in past wk but are missing. Doggies will bite back. Dragons will blow fire all over a Cooper-less Maggies.

"According to stats he was the third most effective Reds backline defender tonight. Petaia didn't miss one of his 7 tackles (100%), Lance missed 2 of his 13 (85%) and Kerevi missed 3 of his 11 (79%). Then there was Stewart on 71%, Daugunu on 70%, Paia'aua 60% and Lucas 55%" Nature vs Nurture...

"knock on Wood",:cool: he stays healthy and remain aggressive filling the 'dark spots' void,required to win close games. Something the kiwis have mastered.

^^^^ You would think so HB. If your Super rugby employer believes your'e the best fit for their team. then its a no brainer in the best interest of your professional career to play super rugby and therefore open the opportunity to push yourself for the ultimate honor of the chance to be...

"I so disagree with these players not touring with the 20s. And that goes for Stewart and Valetini too." Why Reg? All young rugby players identify Super rugby as the higher echelon in ones rugby pathway than U20's. You cant judge them because they are good enough to play at that level. "A coach...

Nope he didnt rREG : BT said : . .I thought we got exactly what we deserved. No 'they' in there' as implied. . .

Zero-C, stop fuckin making pretentious comments when you havent watched the game. You insult the young players who played their hearts out and are blamed for the lackluster efforts of the 'experienced'reds players who couldnt be bothered to put in. Its unfair., to jump on the bandwagon and...

“We’ve got a young group and they’re learning how tough this competition is and how you need to prepare and front up each week. It’s an area of growth for this team.” according to BT. Im not sure blaming the youth of the reds on such a performance is unfair. I thought the "older' experienced...

Any news of George Smith returning to the scene . . . ? Just wondered if Reds got picked up by taxis :p or escorted by Samurai warriors . . . for protection?? lol

^^^ mate did you just cut and paste Joe James long-winded posts ?? Thats called plagiarism :D . Its a broken record already fullas. . . Why don't you be brave and name the Qld boys in the U/20's you believe are not good enough to represent their country??

RugbyReg, Of course it is desperate times for Qld rugby and our flagship team (REDS) mate!! Regardless of our disapproval and scinicism about selection esp of 'youth undeserving' , Qld rugby needs all the "SUPPORT" including discounting tickets to the game this arvo. Its a no brainer imo...

Jnr AB's look ominous with every raid throughout their opening game, resulting in the merciless slaughtering of Tonga. I thought the Jnr Wallabies started off extremely well and set the platform for another huge score against Fiji. Apart from the fact some of the boys didnt get down...

^^^^ JJ, you have a huge block on your shoulder wearing you down mate . . .you might need Thor's hammer to knock it off. A FACT of footy : Just because you were a star of the U/18's doesnt mean you are entitled to higher honours. Just to give you an example. . .again . . . Will Eadie a star for...

. . . word is D.P is on the bench . . .and H S is starting 10. youth power sees red :)

It will be a very interesting team to start the Oceania campaign with a number of like starters missing due to Super rugby commitment. Semisi Tupou (away in SA with REBELS) Sama Malolo (away in SA with REBELS) Harrison Goddard(away in SA with REBELS) Hamish STuart (REDS vs Lions) Jordan...

ANyone have any news of Jnr Wallabies(U20's) lineup for this Friday's game against Fiji??? Been errriliee quiet.
