Yeah Cotter had great success with Clermont, with Brock James at 10. Then did an outstanding job with Scotland. Some calls for the Scots to get him back in charge after the disappointment of RWC 2019.

It was obvious when Link left that Cheika was the only person for the job. He did an outstanding job getting the team to the RWC final. In the years since his weaknesses as a coach have been revealed but he still had a lot of credit in the bank from winning the Super Rugby with the Tah's and the...

I actually think we're better off with the French guys and Skeen. The unpredictability will play in our favour. Also I think there is more chance of Hooper and Pocock starting with these guys avoiding policing the breakdown.

It would make any future negotiation interesting when the Union own a share of one of the bidding parties.

I think the best thing for the team would be to have Tupou, Coleman, Genia, Hooper, Beale and To'omua on the bench to come on and make an impact for the last 30mins. In reality Hooper will start the game, both because he's the captain and because of his form this tournament.

We're proper fucked.

Pretty sure he posted a pic of playing wing for Met East U15's.

I'd like to see Tupou at 3 against the strong Georgian scrum. Give him 60mins and rest AAA with Kepu off the bench. It will give hims some confidence for the big game/s. I'd also rest Hooper. He's been outstanding but I want him fresh and firing for the Poms. Dempsey at 6 to see if he can...

Devastating schoolboy rugby fullback who pretty much ran everything back.

Here's a little doco on the Australian Schools Barbars camp...

I think there's a difference between signing the Wallaby Captain, who plays in the position where we historically produce the most talent, to a massive deal for 5 years and signing a heap of up and coming players, all be it some are Wallabies, to long term deals.

Yeah the gameplan in the backs will have to change dramatically. We'll have to be more subtle and show some skill to break through the defence. If they need a battering ram we could see CFS playing on a wing to come in and hit it up, but I'd prefer we use the ball through the hand and get the...

In a wrap up of the tipping season unfortunately All Over It tipped this weekend and won over all. A few people chased some upsets, hopeful that would get them over the line, but alas it didn't work. Thanks all for being involved. Hopefully we can do it again in 2020, I'm thinking of making a...

I think he may have signed the one year deal realising that it was probably too late to sign a long term one. Then goes to the QRU and asks to get things sorted for the long term. I see issues with both sides in this case. We all knew in January he'd signed something in Japan. Why do that if...

I really wanted to dislike this post, nothing against you dillyboy but it's criminal that we don't get a long weekend.

Naivalu and Hegarty were done to deal with Cooper and Hunt, who were being paid money by RA and weren't any chance of playing for the Reds so the position is quite a bit different. From memory LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) is contracted until the end of 2020, he may look to move after that, as others have been locked...

Lots of PR coming out of Newstar on their Facebook page. Quotes from players they represent talking them up. It is a bit childish by the Reds not wanting to deal with a players rep. I'm surprised RUPA haven't stepped in as they give out coach accreditation. If the agent has accreditation then...

It's about driving to be the best you can. If you said anyone over 90% is ok then a lot of guys would hover around 90%. By setting it at the bottom half I'm sure there will be guys at 93% in the bottom half and they'll still work incredibly hard to be better. Also, unlike NAPLAN, these stats...

Hockings is the reason Uni won the QPR title. He deserves to start, but Blyth will get opportunities and could well own a starting jersey by the end of the year. I'm actually hopeful of some rotation in positions this year to rest some players and give them all a chance. If it's planned out it...
