I plsyed against Cairns at Barlow park a billion years ago. That was a great trip.
Against the Chunder? I still know a few blokes who regularly make that side.
We used to play and train on the Buchan st field, not too far away from Barlow park. Then they moved our home games to Barlow Park. The facilities and field are a million times better, but it didn't have the charm of run down old Buchan St. Went looking for that field on my last trip back, seems it has been converted to an aussie rules ground now. Sad really.
But anyway, back on topic. I'm interested in seeing how the Reds go, but also interested in seeing what the Rebels do as well. Being a trial, it will be a good opportunity to give some fringe players on both sides a go. I'm interested in seeing how the backrow(s) go, and what sort of ball they give their halves.
