I was making a (obvioulsy bad) joke about signing a massive Lock. Just on the nepotism thing, blokes can't hide behind their Dad on the paddock.

He might be able to find us a couple from Italy.
I wish the kid all the best moving forward. The name Lynagh could be thought of as a detriment because the rugby community will be picking the young bloke to bits before he even plays a game. Same thing happened to Tom. Time will tell? Hopefully he sets the world alight!! More concerning is Tom is a head knock or two from an early finish which is a shame.

I have never been the biggest fan, he has been great for QLD but I always fear he is moments away from a stupid decision and 10 in the bin or worse.
He has an impressive highlights package, but I find him lacking in between his moments of outright brilliance. It seems like he will put in 10-15 average to below average kicks in general play but will have a single brilliant kick that everyone remembers and this makes them overlook his average one.
As I said, it is players I want to see, I would not have LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) in my teams for disciplinary reasons as I simply don't trust he won't cost us a game from being sent off. I know nothing of the new 2nd row options, so I had LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) in my team out of necessity.
As he has aged he has become a bit of a loose cannon, you can see him getting over aggressive and being more concerned about a big hit / cheap shot than sticking to a game plan, it is similar to Tupou, he was my favourite player for a few years, but he also lost control of his temper at times. This is why I was shattered losing Smith, he did the hard yards and was always going to give you a solid 80 minutes and not leave the team with 14 on the field.
I recognise that others will disagree, and I am ok with that as a forum would be pretty boring if we all had the same thoughts.

What a load of crap.
Did you see Horan's lad signed and fast tracked? Cornelsen?
Did you have the same concerns with Scott-Young, Brial?
I'm sure there others.
Professional clubs don't sign a player on their dads credentials.
It's a ridiculous assertion.
Message from our Premier today, Reds obviously aren't from Qld. I guess 2 NRL games at Suncorp doesn't leave room for Reds, shame.

It's the first week of the finals, you can't exactly schedule a Reds game in ahead of time. They also don't have a QLD based opponent to play like all the others.
It might be a bit awkward if the Reds end up hosting a QF that weekend, but there isn't any reason they can't host on the Friday and have it billed as the start of the celebration.

This is pretty standard now. The Reds also aren’t part of the QLD sports lunch which this year was just a Broncos and Lions panel.

QLD sports lunch?
there’s half a dozen of these luncheons each year, under different names and organised by different groups. There’s one literally this Friday at the Star where Stirling Mortlock is the rugby union rep alongside other codes speakers; Thurston, Fevola and Andy Bichel.

The same Fevola who stole a wage from the Lions after being booted from the Blues and yet still barracked against us in finals footy. SMH.

There was literally a lunch this year called the Brisbane Lunch and it was hosted by the Lions and Broncos. That is what I’m referring to.

Were the Roar, Bullets, Heat or Bandits there? I'd be more pissed off if I was one of them seeing as it was a "Brisbane" lunch.
At least we have an excuse for not being there being the Qld Reds....

Sure, my question mark was because you originally said the "Queensland sports lunch", which is one I hadn't seen before. My point stands, though, these corporate luncheons are a dime a dozen and an area rugby has traditionally done well on anyway.

I’d take Steve Cummins for a year or so.
