Karmichael has been doing a bit of training at inside centre reportedly, and the Reds have also added Marco Kotze to the Reds development squad after his performance for Brisbane City.

Thor looks like an inside to me.

I cant wait for 2015 to start. Feeling really positive. Simmons, Slipper and Fainga'a.S are better players now than ever before. Liam Gill, who has had neck problems, looked like he was getting back to his best in the NRC and people forget he is only 22, and pre-hooper was the pre eminent no 7 heir to the great David Pocock. Jake Schatz had his best season in 2014.Thompson could be a great signing, hopefully a really good cultural influence as well, like Daniel Braid was.I like the look of McDuling and Kotze (is he eligible for AUS?). Bit thin at THP I'll admit, if there are injuries.
With hopefully the forwards getting parity or dominance, an injury frree Genia can snipe away, and Cooper can get some opportunities against retreating defences. Oconnor , Kerevi, a hopefully intact CFS, Turner and Hunt would be a backline any province would be happy to have.
In A world cup season, all players will be super motivated, perhaps especially Genia and Cooper, who seem to be a bit on the outer with the set up as it is.
come on boys ............lets believe !,,

I think between; Holmes, Slips & Sef we should be okay on the tight side. Slips, Daley & Paraka on the loose.

Sef didnt play any Super Rugby last year did he? i know he was on the bench 1 or 2 times but i dont think he got on. Paraka did gets 1 or 2 games i think.

S.Fainga'a was having trouble locking down the Reds starting positions few months ago, I even suggested he should move on to allow Hanson to start regularly..
I have to admit he has proven me wrong this tour, possibly the best form he has been in for a long time, regularly rating in the top 5 players on the pitch.
It'll be good to see more of it in 2015!

That PCYC cafe that used to be at the Caxton Street end of Suncorp is where we met him. Bloke only went in for a coffee but that didn't stop him from saying hello. My brother explained that this game was our annual trip down from Darwin to watch the Reds vs Brumbies. When he learnt we had come that distance he pulled up a chair and was more than happy to spend a few minutes chatting with us. Top bloke and really re-enforces the spirit of rugby. As frustrating as the Reds were this year, I couldn't forget that RG was a nice bloke.

Signing Kotze is a good move by Reds HQ!

They needed a 5th lock in the dev squad, and they lost Enever and Payne and Arnold from around Brisbane. Seeing how Kotze went in the NRC, and considering how much other lock talent is gone, it's not a bad signing at all.
The thing against Kotze is probably his age, but the Reds will probably lose both O'Donoghue and Horwill next year so if the next best is 28 now, might as well get him signed.

What happened to Payne? has he signed with an overseas team?

My judgements regarding RG are based completely on his failure to own any of the blame for the debacle known as Reds2014. (think any press conference)
He should change his name to Neo as he was dodging that many bullets.
And Sorry guys, it was a tongue in cheek joke. I woulda typed it in Comic Sans font to accentuate the sarcasm but alas, there is no option.

Reds have made this little video on pre-season week 1

Thanks for posting those videos TOCC - both were good to watch
I was a bit critical about Tupou's body composition (thought he was very fat!) but he actually looks to have a pretty solid build for a prop in that video. No doubt being under the coaches eye will help keep his diet strict!

Can I just ask wtf are the QRU making this "Scrum" monument out of? $580,000 to build an abstract sculpture at a time when the code is apparently on the verge of bankruptcy seems a touch ridiculous. http://thescrum.net.au/index.html#donate
