3 steps after the kick, shoulder to head? wtf? Tate stepping up though which is good.

I was just thinking he could be hooked.

Horse shit.

What the score board is calling has nothing to do with the ref. Reds need to pick the fuck up

Jezus, this is not looking like anything less than an embarrassment.

Worst possible start by Reds

This post has had me thinking. The current Waratahs squad is full of talent, even talent capable of international quality. We should expect that in a Nation with 5 pro teams. The difference, surely, is coaching. More than ever I thank Brad Thorn for his build. And I’m seriously grateful that...

Mate, the fans are very much down to the truly rusted-on. Many of them would be happy for a home game every weekend. Not even every weekend as you’d do Townsville and, I don’t know, Gladstone The talent is available, the marketing obvious (City and Country). There is HEAPS that mean this...

Tell you in a couple of days. Love the spirit though.

With Rebels recent contribution any dream of domestic has well and truly evaporated. Maybe with enough time, but right now we can anticipate “shrink to greatness” is a defacto requirement. little supporters of going domestic can do but grit their teeth. still, if you get it up, I’m in.

I think there might be a shot at a club in Ipswich pulling in Logan, GC, Darling Downs, Toowoomba. Base for Q country. I don’t see it as slightly likely though.

Have to wish the Brumbies all the best here. Get out there Canberra, big night.

Between the Wales series and the RC is 2 weeks. We need 3 ideally for finals, maybe we could re-schedule for that week? Kick off the RC with NZ v Aus so both sides are equally impacted by any injuries. So start the season a little later, increase the season for more content to run parallel to...

For me it should be just the 4 best refs.

So I'm just reverting to my starting position here - to all intents and purposes Reds would have to pay enough to Tupou that I would be worried that it diverts funds from others. I like the guy, and if he was taking direction, getting fit and working apparently harder than he has bee - then he...

At the Olympics, isnt that issue pretty much most of everything? Swimming is 25s to 15min. Athletics up to 10,000m is around 25min. I dare say that as a football code/season you have a point, but the Olympics is a bit different. In 7s wouldn't you watch the round? btw, the on the bad time slot...

Apols, but I'm not following how this answers my query. Are we saying that $800k would be $650 (fixed) from the Reds? All I'm pondering is the degree to which on-boarding a "name" player then reduces fund availability for others.

Are you suggesting that lack of clarity errs on the side of RA contributing more? I'd always assumed with the term "top up" that the bulk of the funds came from the State Union.

Personally, I'd be trying to leverage the Women's 7s team into the Olympics. Plenty to sell there.

At what cost though? He can be a great asset. And if the cost then impacts investment in other players, I'd suggest there may be better homes for him. We seem to suggest that the option is yes or no for Tupou. The reality is likely to be yes - with a mandate to no elsewhere. With fixed overall...
