Bloody hell, what a journey Matt has undergone. 18 months ago he was still on the tools, now he's a few matches away from playing in the RWC.

Hell yeah, can't wait for the "Make Sydney Rugby Great Again" hats to roll out. Will they be in Sydney Uni or Randwick colours?

Mine was the "intensity" graphic. That there's a correlation between metres made per X demonstrating a game is more or less intense than another. Also, the commentary highlighted how spoilt we can be Maloney compared to the league ones of Gould and Gallen.....

The moment a second set of hands is on a ball runner the competition for the ball is over. Just because the tackled player is flopping around like a salmon doesn't mean the ball is still live as it's unplayable.

I mean, after all, we are a Tier 2 nation. I don't see it being any different than Folau, Lealiifano or Coleman playing for Tonga/Samoa. Hell, TKB is an Aussie by birth.

Bloody hell, marking those two is up there with Ardie Savea playing at fullback on the weekend for his club. Give Kerevi or Ardie the space that's all too often found in club rugby and they'll just steam roll you.

Perhaps Auckland should help RA push this idea of free movement between the countries and teams. It may mean you actually weaken the Cantubs.

But that money isn't coming the RA bottom line? It's gifted money from a rich Sydney old boy on the proviso Joe gets brought into Rugby Union. RA weren't given the money to spend on the "next 10 best schoolboys".

Hockings, yeah sure why not. Lucas, I don't see the void he fills for the price he'd want. Between JOC (James O'Connor), Lawson and Lynagh, the 10 jersey has enough coverage. At 15, you've got Jock and Jordan along with some young stars coming through.

Jake and his career or lack thereof at the Reds is an interesting one. Those closer to the organisation can correct me if there's been any change. But, look at the next generation of fly halves that have come after Jake in the Reds academy. Carter Gordon, Lawson and now Tom Lynagh. Neither...

When looking at the past couple of years worth of results, is it that remarkable or, have they've had some good wins followed by poor results i.e. mirroring Australia under Chieka?

Looking at the job requirements; https://australia.rugby/about/about-us/jobs/queensland-reds-head-coach Has Chieka had a win record higher than 50% since 2015 or has he demonstrated any form of adaptability in terms of his coaching and game plans? Chieka feels like a stop gap solution for 1-2...

But normalising those stats also can be misleading. A person could top the contribution charts by a significant margin. But, when you dig into it, that person may only play 20-30 minutes each match i.e. they go hard when they're on. Those normalised figures may not carry over if that person was...

I can see us being competitive until the 50th minute mark and then get absolutely smoked when the bench of both teams start coming on. The Reds bench average age has to be close to 21/22?

Yuck, Waugh is harping on about bringing in a draft; I don't see how that solves this issue he mentions earlier; No point having a draft for 18 year olds who need 2-4 years growing into their bodies and growing. So is this draft for anyone who's looking to turn pro as the US have pretty...

CBA, Westpac, St George and NAB. I'd love to know how Phil is able to work within budgetary constraints on a company that can barely keep the lights on. His entire working career he's had access to organisations the literally print money and make billions in revenue. Also curious to know how...

The infamous KPMG report does not paint a good picture of Fagan to be honest.

I don't think we need any more Fly Halves or Full Backs. With Lynagh, Creighton could possibly be replaced with a journeyman replacement but funds would be better invested in quality props and second row depth.

Thankfully South, the Dogs should be getting the best fly half playing in Australia back along with a few extras from Mexico?

Would have thought player welfare is up there no? Two illegal tackles on vest along with the others goes to show how farcical they are.
