I imagine that if the Reds get out to a quick start ie up by 17+ in the first 20 minutes it'll be a blow out. If the Rebels can hold on to be within 7 within 20 minutes to go I can see the sneaking a win especially with Vunivalu being on the wing which has been our downfall over the last...

The last couple of weeks without McReight has shown while he is absolutely excellent, that the Reds did not lose too much at the breakdown with Wright and Bryant at 7. Given Liam can play 6/7 and Valetini and Wilson have been the outstanding backrowers this year, I would add Liam to 7 and see...

In a game where we complain about our players getting less and less access to high quality games, stuff Queensland for trying new and novel ways to bridge that gap? Again highlights the efforts Queensland goes to keep rugby great in this country.

But Queensland is the one developing all these juniors though. Hell, West's is essentially the Rebels feeder club at this point now.

Bloody hell, was half expecting a Doleman special there at that scrum. Glad that's done, don't think I could have done a repeat of last week. Also, that's 3/5 Kiwi teams we've beaten this year. Must be close to a record for us??

Decades of domination and the second they're struggling they do nothing but whinge.

I doubt it was one particular individual, more likely you were paying a premium on attracting all talent. An extra $50k per player adds up very quickly.

Buy him a suburb?

The Sydney Orthos don't want to touch the midfield that is Bell's foot. They see it as nothing but risk. In other words, they're no Charlie Teo!!!

Foster wouldn't be pushing for Havili at 10, just remember that you backstabbers!!!!!!

Hoiles has also been pushing the Kurtley Beale to return to the Wallabies narrative as well. Quite frankly I DGAF with Hoiles has to say as he doesn't have any skin in the game other than at a Shute Shield level.

Other than Len, what centres in Australia over the last 1-2 years have locked down their spot in the Wallabies. It sure hasn't been Foketi or Perese as they've been busted most of the time. Hodge is the only other centre (outside of Hunter and Kerevi) that comes to mind.

Europe aren't really having all that much success once the horse has bolted. The FFP rules are more effective in keeping the status quo than stopping someone buying a club, running out of cash then going tits up. The Premier League is voting on new spending restrictions that clubs will only be...

Joe, let's stop with the rose tinted glasses on Foley. If we have him at 10, we may as well tell the Ref to give the opposition the ball on our 25-30 metre line after every reset. Foley can kick at sticks but his pop gun clearing kicks puts us significantly under pressure.

It'd be interesting to know much of this "cluelessness" comes from never having a settled man inside of Vunivalu. I lost track on Saturday who moved to 13 when Flook went off, but between all the injuries, that change would have been close to the 4th or 5th different person Vunivalu has had on...

At this stage, who's left to replace him? You've got Vunivalu, Grealy, Ryan and Aubrey to cover the wings at this stage of the season. Grealy and Ryan have taken their moments this year but geez a backline of; Lynagh, Grealy, Hunter, Flook, Ryan and Campbell would be an average weight of 80kg...

I don't mind that the Reds went for the 3 to make it a 7 point game. With how poor the Blues were kicking, you could still give up a try and you may be still be up by 2. Only downside is, you're now giving up huge field position to the Blues so you've then invited them to score a try to tie...

It’s bullshit as the blues dropped a forward to be in the backline. How the hell do we always end up with the kiwis reffing.

We're talking about the same directors / leadership team that pulled the shady license transfer business in 2017 only for 6 months later to be trading insolvent......
