Do we think Tayler Adams is a real shot at getting a gig with the Reds next year? I do.
He's been very solid at 10 and 15 for Brothers and has some professional experience already.
Could be very needed if JOC (James O'Connor) (James O'Connor) is busted again and/or looking to move.
Yeah, I think it'll be between him and Twidale for the President's XV and Adams is probably in front at the moment. A good performance there will be give him a pretty good shot at being offered something for next year.
The QLD Reds Development XV could look like anything depending on whether we want to pick the likes of Asiata, Smith, Hoopert etc. Also no idea who plays 7s. It may be one of the Connors above.
Wallis is the other potential 7 I think, I know Thorn was a fan of his and if the Reds have decided to pick him back up than he'll slot straight in there. Depending on the selection rules they're operating with they may even play him without a contract on the Reds side of things as a capped player.
As far as the established pros go I think it'll be everyone who's not with Australia A/Wallabies/Injured, but probably a bit of change over between the two games if there's a depth in certain positions - e.g. if Angus Blyth isn't selected for Australia A he might only play limited minutes in the Challenger series. Guessing Vest won't be available either, I think the NPC finals start at the same time and Auckland should at least be in the quarters.
