I know a lot of people seem to rate the art of lineout calling right up there at the level the medical fraternity rate chiropractors, but coaches seem to feel it’s an important skill.
hang about - lineout calling is way, way more scientific than chiropractic !

Are Slipper, Folau F and Samu fit? Think the Brumbies are toast if all 3 or 2 out of these three aren't playing

I can't see any reason that Wright is benched for ASY (Angus Scott-Young).

I think a few people are forgetting just how good a player Liam is

I can't see why the love affair with Kalani Thomas. Against the Force, when he came on, there was no X factor - it was as though the Reds lost momentum.

Frost at 6 is interesting. No slipper hurts, Brumbies have already struggled at scrum time at the back end of games.

Clearly thorn seems to think there's going to be a lot of kicking in this game and has put Hegarty there to run the territory operation with Campbell being solid on the wing, and Daugunu to come on when things get looser. I'd be very interested to see if Vunivalu is being left out for injury or selection reasons or both. Honestly thought he'd at least make the bench.

Not as mad about the Wright move, he can still come on and make a big impact including with the hand of god. On tix, looks like about 36k sold atm, i reckon they'll get 42k.

Who is reffing? Has to be Nick Berry for me. Damon Murphy is just not up to the standard. Jordan Way is incredibly litigous. I'd be fine with Amy Perrett too who's been in good form

If I had my choice it would be Perrett.

If I wanted a Ex Red 9 with a clearly obvious bias to undeservingly hand Qld the match then I'm happy with either Berry or Murphy.
