So lads and lasses, who is staying up / getting up for the game?

Sorry, I was referring to them as a fly half. Maddocks is killing it right now but nether Maddocks nor Debreczeni are really fly halves, at least yet.

Not disputing the list, but Korczyk is Polish! He actually played soccer in New Zealand. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

I'm a big fan of Jooste, I'm not sure he's quite up to Super Rugby level just yet, but IMO can't be worse than Debrazeni and Maddox; and so far as a flyhalf goes he's probably ahead of both of them so far as my list goes anyway. Plus he's got that flexibility to play 10, 12, 15 and you could throw him on...

I watch things like this and it flaws me that they picked Higgers to be captain for the Reds instead of Slipper. But I'm really happy for Slipper to have the (C) next to his name for his 100th. Such a servant of Queensland Rugby. Let's give him a fairy tail boys!

Ultimately there is a pool of money that largely is unchanged. Ultimately that pool is used to sign players to the 4 teams Aussie Teams, some of that money comes from the Clubs, some of that money comes from the ARU/RA. I do agree that we need to pay players like Folau and Pocock otherwise...

That's kind of insane given he earns about 2 million dollars a year, if that's the case we have some seriously messed up financial systems in Rugby Union. I know a few people at the QRU are constantly bitching about the 'Waratahs Centric Focus' of Rugby Australia but if that's true -- that is...

My only concern is Mafi isn't the best lineout thrower, but when you are throwing to Rodda you don't exactly need to be brilliant.

I think this is one of the few times starting Ben Lucas is going to be an advantage over Tuttle. The key to winning this game will be controlling the game. Nothing rash, nothing ill-considered, slow the game down, keep the ball kick for territory don't leave their 22 unless it's with points...

He's so going to the Blues!

Folau is now what 28, in 2019 he'd be 29/30. He'd be on a 3 year contract minimum, at the end of his contract he'd be say 33. Plus he'd be on at least 750k likely close to 1 million. Mix in that Quade and KHunt might still be contracted -- we would be looking at say 2 million of our 5 million...

Yeah, I recall Korczyk had a knee injury coming out of high school so he had that year to get his body to go from 'schoolboy' to 'professional athlete' it'll come for Wright. Maybe towards the back end of the season he could be getting close, but post NRC / Wallabies he should be good to go.

Yeah, Tuttle concerns me. There hasn't been anything mentioned about him being injured perhaps he's just not at 100% and Thorn wants him to get the two weeks off. Also... I see Ben Lucas playing halfback... again... haven't seen him play fly half yet. :P (I don't think it was actually you TOCC)...

Honestly, I'm not sure we would need / want him. I've never really rated him as a 'real' union player, the guy is an elite athlete but he's never shown that Rugby Union nous. His best position is on the wing, I wouldn't play him at fullback as he's not astute enough tactically. We already have...

Anyone seen the 23 yet? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Let's pretend of the sake of the discussion he finds that 2011 love for the game and gets back to that form (we'll also pretend it wasn't that ACL injury), if he shows he's working hard and performing on the field; if that happens part of me thinks Thorn would say 'we'll give you a run'. I've...

Slipper has been playing for the Reds since 2010. He's never played for any other clubs, I don't think he has even contemplated playing for any other club be it in Australia or overseas. Slipper is 28, still a baby in porp years; I almost expect another 8 years of service to Queensland! While I...

So a 'morality clause' normally has a set of clear guidelines ultimately exercising a morality clause is kind of always ambiguous.

The crowd doesn't actually look as packed as it sounds anyone know the attendance?

Not even a little bit surprised. Also now that he's inked that deal what's the bet he'll play like ass until the end of the season?
