[QUOTE="Wally, post: 98547"] Quade Cooper wouldn't have started and Johansson's shithouse form from last season had carried over into this year's trials. Still, the Reds had little backline depth to begin with so losing any player is going to have a negative impact. Possible Queensland XXII 1. Greg Holmes* 2. Sean Hardman* 3. Rodney Blake* 4.

Henari Veratau * denotes Australian representation, ^ denotes Australian A representation Arguably the competition's best young forward pack, but they are inexperienced and still a few years away from peaking. Could have done with a Sharpe or Kefu around to lead the way but ah well. At this stage the backline lacks any real penetration so they'll be relying on some decent ball from the forwards this year so their kickers Berrick Barnes and Schif have some room to breath.
