WEDNESDAY JULY 9 2014 SPORT 43 V1 - NTNE01Z01MA Exodus to rock Reds QUEENSLAND Rugby coach Richard Graham believes the Reds need to sign six outside backs to cover the imminent departures in that area. Aidan Toua, Rod Davies and Dom Shipperley are among at least seven players leaving the Reds at the end of the season. The franchise has still to confirm whether Wallabies back James OConnor will be one new signing, as has been widely speculated. Queensland will go into Saturdays final-round Super Rugby encounter with NSW in Brisbane without halfback Nick Frisby, who suffered a broken jaw in last weekends loss to the Force. Frisby joins a lengthy injury list including first choice halfback Will Genia, fiveeighth Quade Cooper, and other backs, Anthony Faingaa, Chris Feauai-Sautia, Toua and Dom Shipperley, and forward Eddie Quirk. They are also without livewire flanker Liam Gill due to sevens commitments. Prop Greg Holmes is the only player scheduled to return from injury for the clash with the Waratahs. Graham has identified defence as an area that he should have done better with this year. The Reds have already conceded 459 points, an average of just more than 30 a game. Folau record is unrivalled FOOTBALL freak Israel Folau is poised to achieve another unprecedented cross-code double as the first player to top the season tryscorers list in both Super Rugby and the NRL. Already entrenched in sports history books for numerous Test and tryscoring records in rugby league and rugby union, the NSW Waratahs and Wallabies superstar is set to notch another unique milestone in the last round of Super Rugbys regular season this weekend. With 12 tries from 11 appearances for the Waratahs in 2014, Folau enters Saturday nights tussle with the Queensland Reds three tries clear of Crusaders winger Nemani Nadolo. Barring an improbable fourtry haul from Nadolo against the Highlanders, and none from Folau in Brisbane, the Waratahs dynamic fullback will match his feat from his NRL debut season with Melbourne. In 2007, Folau finished the regular season as the leagues equal-leading tryscorer with North Queensland fullback Matt Bowen with 21 fourpointers the most by an NRL rookie, eclipsing Storm teammate Billy Slaters previous record of 19. The latest double will add to a lengthy list of records set by the only player to compete in the NRL, AFL and Super Rugby competitions. At 18 and 194 days old in 2008, Folau became Australias youngest-ever rugby league Test player. After a two-season stint in the AFL, Folau last year be came the first player to complete the NRL rookie of the year and Super Rugby rookie of the year double. He capped his spectacular entrance to rugby on the 2013 European tour when he equalled Lote Tuqiris record for most tries by a Wallaby in a calendar year. If the Waratahs convert their minor premiership into championship glory, Folau will join fellow dual internationals Sonny Bill Williams and Brad Thorn, along with countrymen Will Chambers and Peter Ryan as only the fifth player to win NRL and Super Rugby titles.
