Overview
- The Reds host the Western Force at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday with ex-NRL winger Zac Lomax set to debut off the Force bench.
- Reds captain Fraser McReight said Queensland will kick to corners to pin Lomax and test his limited rugby union knowledge.
- Coach Les Kiss named a new halves pairing of Carter Gordon and Kalani Thomas and handed 18-year-old Treyvon Pritchard his first start on the wing.
- Kiss said growing squad depth now demands tough selection calls as he builds combinations for a long season before taking over the Wallabies in August.
- The Force are 1-5 after close losses, and coach Simon Cron said the team must finish key moments to finally turn performances into wins.
