Boss has allowed me to take the time off.

4. Phillips
5. Coleman
6. Naisarani
7. Hodgson (sorry for doubting you)
8. Hardwick

16. Tessman

18. Faulkner
19. Arnold
20. RHP

Backs will probably be a case of who is fit.

IIRC Ben McCalman will return for the Reds game. I'd like to see him on the bench.

I hope and expect the guys are really smarting from that whallopimg, and it's burning enough to get really fired up for Brissy, cos the Reds are already starting to talk themselves up!

[GIGS20]

We'll need to work Fa'agase over in the scrums, and Talakai in the loose, because they are both pretty specialised.

Has Frisby gotten any better since returning from being dropped? Hopefully not, because if we can put pressure on Cooper the rest of the backline won't even factor into the game. Tui, Smith and Higginbotham make for a dangerous backrow, I hope we take them seriously.

[WFDom]

Is that Korczyk the fella who was talking shit about us?

[chiraag]

Hoff will no doubt try to get as involved as possible.

That's a pretty good looking side on paper for them - obviously not suffering too many injuries. Going to be a tough game given our injuries and recent travel schedule, but we should still be able to come away with the points

NZ ref, but it is nice to see SANZAAR trying to save money by having an all-local assisting team.

Thats a bit suss that one of the match officials has been at Reds training twice this week, bloody Hoffman too.

THE diligent Reds have hollered for “The Hoff” to help cure their penalty-prone ways so Friday night’s must-win Super Rugby clash at Suncorp Stadium is not scuttled by the referee’s whistle.
Top referee Rohan Hoffmann has been a conspicuous on-field extra at Reds training twice this week in a move by coach Nick Stiles to instil more disciplined habits.

[shasta]

Well let's hope that the Referee has a different view of officiating the contests to Hoffman. He has been woeful so it might be a plus.
