Am I reading this right? This means that the HC "pathway" is a requirement to leave not just the Reds, but Australia? No, more than that. You'll have to find the right overseas pathway. Not US for one. And then fingers crossed they return to the Reds. At the right price. Look, Wilson, you may...

This is frequently completely forgotten. Or ignored. If a club wants these players it is incumbent on the club to attract them. It is nonsense to blame another party (eg RA) for failing to allocate. Do the work in the first instance for goodness sake.

Hell yes.

Not entirely correct though. You still get the notification of posts, albeit the post is yellowed out with "you are ignoring content from this member" and you pick up the quoted posts. And when you dive in to check things out then you need to scroll through page after page of dross, but can miss...

Mods - is there a reason that we are still wearing the trolling sock puppets? It's starting to make G&GR something I'm no longer enjoying.

Well that much is clear.

Ha ha! OK, possibly distasteful but entirely on the Japanese.

Am I wrong or is this statement quite distasteful?

And both things can be right. The Reds not valuing JOC (James O'Connor) the same way that Crusaders did. I'd be happy if he was to return, and just as equally happy that Reds made a call and have other priorities.

Hey Dave, still chasing those Kingies? Mate, a couple of points. 1. Generically I agree with you and would have loved to have seen an alternate approach that locked in from the clubs. but... 2. It's incorrect imo, to say that that the NRC was unsuccessful. It was that in NSW where the SRU...

I can’t deny how much I enjoyed Linc’s 2011 with the complete disparate game plans built on who they were playing. I feel here however, much of the bitching is fans concerned about the WBs and on this thread I’m completely fine with the “style” and chuffed that we held our ground for another 12...

I'm completely comfortable with the Kiss "style" at the Reds. Maintained through wet weather game after wet weather game. No, not comfortable, I'm enthused.

My preference would be to strike Super Pacific from the record and to set the first actual premier as cast in bronze. But you know, that's just me.

There is a culture thing here. I'm stuffed if I can follow it. But that doesn't matter. They can't come back if there is that sort of undertone. I'd love it, but no. Can't happen.

Now dear Brumbies. The hard work has been done by the superlative Blues. Who have given the Chiffs the inglorious humiliation of being smacked, but returning via further humiliation. Now then, all you have to do is finish the job. That can't be too hard, can it? [Yes, it's my first time...
