Thursdays game

[Thequeerone]

I like Jason - always brought my kids to matches and the like - reckon it's good for them but if Jason is babysitting ....... I'll admire (from a distance) him even more - PS Laura has some posters and stuff - do ya want us to send you some

Jason will be at work, doesnt finish until 8. But my plan is if I am out all day Ben wont sleep so he will be so tired he will crash making for peaceful rugby viewing. And if not it cant be as painful as the time I took him to watch my brothers Gridiron game. So i just need him to drive me home afterwards because it is a long way on the bus at that time of night.

probably starting lineup for the Reds on Thursday

15. Mark Mclinden
14. Digby Ioane
13. Charlie Fetoia
12. Berrick Barnes
11. Peter Hynes
10. Quade Cooper
9. Ben Lucas
8. Leroy Houston
7. Daniel Braid
6. Scott Higginbotham
5. Hugh McMenimen
4. Van Humphries
3. Greg Holmes
2. Sean Hardman
1. Dayna Edwards

16. Saia Fainga
17. Laurie Weeks
18. Rob Simmons
19. Potasi Luafutu
20. Will Genia
21. Anthon Faingaa
22. Brendan Vaalu

Ah thats the probable 'TOCC' lineup, although i wouldnt be suprised to see Genia start ahead of Lucas, and im not sure whether McMenimen will play lock or blindside flanker, Higginbotham has played extremely well in the trials so he may get another chance at openside flanker.

Horwill and Taylor are all still out injured, Turinu is probably going to be ruled out injured.

Not a bad side. A good backrow, smart halves and extreme speed on the wings. The Reds will surprise a few this year

Force by 10

Probably need to swap the Props too TOCC?
I haven't seen Lucas hardly at all to judge him other than media praise, but I reckon Genia has the best/fastest/flatest pass of the Aus #9's.

[TOCC]

yeah i noticed after i posted it that i mixed up the front row, i rate Genia highly as well, and i would not be suprised at all to see him take over Lucas.. Lucas only slipped in front of Genia last year because Genia broke his hand moving a fridge in pre-season.

Bloody coaches and their strength training! He should have used both hands.
