Reds winger wants a sniff

IZAIA Perese’s desperate bid for a Reds recall started with a rapid 30minute drive across Brisbane to score the match-turning try for his Easts club last Saturday night.

Coach Brad Thorn loves players who will do anything to wrestle a Queensland jersey and winger Perese could not have made more of a statement.

If there is a door ajar for Saturday night’s clash against the Highlanders at Suncorp Stadium, it is the prospect of leapfrogging Filipo Daugunu.
