safe to say Genia is a core player and wont be benched. His partnership with Cooper is important to both the Reds and Wallabies.
 
Reds team will most likely be:

1. Ben Daley
2. Saia Faingaa
3. James Slipper
4. Rob Simmons
5. James Horwill
6. Scott Higginbotham
7. Lei Tomiki
8. Leroy Houston

9. Will Genia
10. Quade Cooper
11. Digby Ioane
12. Anthony Faingaa
13. Will Chambers
14. Rodney Davies
15. Peter Hynes

16. James Hanson
17. Greg Holmes
18. Van Humphries
19. Ed Quirk
20. Ben Lucas
21. Mike Harris
22. Ben Tapuai or Aidan Toua
 
St.George Reds team (from fullback): Peter Hynes, Rod Davies, Will Chambers, Anthony Faingaa, Digby Ioane, Quade Cooper, Will Genia, Scott Higginbotham, Ed Quirk, James Horwill (c), Van Humphries, Rob Simmons, James Slipper, Saia Faingaa, Ben Daley
Reserves: James Hanson, Greg Holmes, Leroy Houston, Beau Robinson, Ben Lucas, Mike Harris, Aidan Toua, Jake Schatz (23rd man).

For the Clash against The Waratahs, Seems they decided to keep Ed Quirk and drop Leroy Houston, in my opinion Ed Quirk was nigh on hopeless, but I suppose Ewan knows what he's doing.
 
Well it wasnt what the game I thought it'll be it was quite boring IMO. The 'Tahs had the control from the start and stayed in charge throughout. Polota-Nau got stuck into his tackling and it rubbed off on the 'Tahs who seemed in control in defence.

Reds attack seemed rather dull which I found surprising given the players they had. A few injuries for them so it'll be interesting who they field next week against the Brumbies.
 
I knew we'd miss Daniel Braid this year... and what's with Genia and the countless number of box kicks? Seldom a good option and an even worse option in your own quarter. What happened to keeping the ball in hand? Back to the drawing board.
