Queensland Reds sign another ex-player as Hunt Cover
By Online Editors
After signing former playmakers Jono Lance and Ben Lucas, the Reds have gone back to the past again to sign another former fullback in Aidan Toua to cover Hunt's absence.
Toua has just finished a season in Japan with the Honda Heat and will return to the Reds, his first club where he played only 10 games from 2011-14 due to numerous injuries.
He found his feet at the Brumbies where he has managed 30 games over the 2016-17 seasons, becoming a consistent starter for them.
Hunt's court case was adjourned on Monday until February 19, which means he is certain to miss the Reds season opener against the Rebels. Hunt's drawn-out court proceedings have allowed the Reds to sign Toua under "emergency cover".
The Reds now have much more depth with utility Lucas, Toua and Jayden Ngamanu all fullback options. Former Force flyhalf Jono Lance is still recovering from a broken hand.

I think we need to get innovative with the new laws.
Now red cards are only 20 minutes, Razor should send Finau on a head hunting mission to hospitalise their 10 with a shoulder to the chops.
Give the conspiracy theorists a win.
Go to commentsEngland played well enough to win but couldnt score when they needed to and couldnt defend a couple of X-Factor moments from Telea which was ultimately the difference. They needed to hold the ball more and make the AB's make more tackles. Territorially they were good for the first 60. Defending their lead and playing pragmatic rugby in the last 20 was silly. The AB's always had the potential to come back. England still have a long way to go, definite progress would have been shown had they won but it seems they are still stuck where they were shortly after the six nations and their tour to NZ
