Come on my little beauties, let's give it to them in spades!
REDS prop James Slipper has a “welcome home” hit waiting for defector Luke Morahan yet he is just not sure how he’s going to catch the Western Force winger to deliver it.
The intense rivalry that the Force have taken into every game against the Reds since their 2006 birth in Perth takes on a fresh dimension at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday night.
Slipper and centre Ben Tapuai have been close mates with Morahan since playing together for The Southport School side which won the 2007 GPS premiership.
“We grew up together on the Gold Coast, so it was tough to see him go,” Slipper said on Monday.
“Moz told me what he was thinking a bit earlier than the rest of the Reds boys. It was hard to take.
“You wish him the best, as a mate, to play well but obviously not too well on Saturday night.
“He’s a winger who finds himself a lot of space. It’s hard for a prop to get his hands on a player like that but I’ll be trying.”

May the FORCE be with you!
I'm not sure calling it defection lends itself to the real reason Mozza came over to us.
If they want to give up one of their classiest players to us that's fine by me. We've had a well oiled back 3 since he moved on to the wing against the Brums 2nd half.
Cheers Dicky!
Great game, Fucken battled right through to the 80!
This is going to be a MASSIVE game!!
Anyone know a station that will be streaming the match? My grandson's birthday this Saturday. Better timing than last season where we missed a home game. But I have to take care of my little prop.![]()
