Frisby flies back into Reds XV against Rebels

After a six week hiatus, Nick Frisby is back in the Reds starting XV.

The polarising halfback has not started in the number nine jersey since being dropped for the Jaguares clash in round five and James Tuttle has made the starting spot his own over the past six weeks.

There were also some off field issues contributing to Frisby’s return to club rugby but Nick Stiles has decided the time for change is now ahead of a must win clash with the Rebels.

Tuttle’s omission is a surprising one and he has been left out of the 23 altogether, with Moses Sorovi to warm the pine instead.Karmichael Hunt also returns to his regular role at fullback after missing the Chiefs loss with a knee knock.

That has triggered other positional shifts in the backs.

Duncan Paia’aua shifts back to inside centre, Samu Kerevi moves to outside centre and Campbell Magnay will start on the right wing ahead of Izaia Perese.

Adam Korczyk also comes back onto the bench ahead of Leroy Houston.
