It could be, that with the exception of Higginbotham, that a few years ago none of these players were the Reds. So in a sense the team identity needs reestablishing. That's not taking anything away from the players (as you suggest). Just that at the moment its not like the snug ole sweater, or...

What excites me is that for 2019, the Reds finally have quality in attack coach Jim McKay and defence coach Peter Ryan. Brad Thorn is good as a head coach in that he has the respect of the players, knows how to get maximum fitness from them, and is a great motivator. But he does need good...

A bit hard to keep Rory Arnold there as he was flown home with a fractured eye socket

I thought he's been doing that all year.

After beating the Springbok and losing to the AB's by a contraversial TMO decision, his team will put the sword to Japan & also (probably) the Wallabies:(, then he'll probably be able to wrap up a deal with England Rugby for after the RWC, assuming that's what he wants. And money does have a...

Why would Eddie vacate his existing position when it probably pays four times what he'd earn coaching the Wallabies?

Was Beale continually kicking up the field to the Welsh back 3 also part of the game plan? It was at that stage I nearly threw the remote control through the TV screen. If I'd known it would have hit him I would have. When Beale is bad, he's awful.

I don't see Beale wearing anything but the No 12 jersey, and I see Kerevi starting at 13, as that's where Cheika needs him to be. But as he only played part of the previous game against the AB from the bench (and what a cracker of a game he had), he will start and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) will be on the bench as a...

I'm guessing that the Reds haven't got enough in the piggy bank to get any marquis players to fill in the 2 vacancies, especially on a 12 month contract.

Wayne Smith, rugby sports editor at The Australian newspaper, reports, "Queensland Reds poised to announce the appointment of Jim McKay as their Super Rugby attack coach for the next two seasons". If so, then Halleluya Smith further said, "in his 15-month stint with the Wallabies, McKay...

Rebels don't have to have a salary cap, I suppose.

I was pleasantly surprised at the organisation that went into this game. Car parking management was first class, and plenty of catering facilities.And lots of kids having a good time. There was a feeling of professional rugby admin neatly wrapped up into premier club atmosphere, and the quality...

Use the back door please, unless you can come up with a better effort;)

I suppose Maddocks got the nod in that he travelled with the Wallabies on the spring tour last year

Could you whisper it. I won't tell anyone

It would seem one item on the agenda for the Red's board should be re: the culture of staff including the HC on down. They are all part of the team, and if they don't respect the player's families, feelings, needs etc, then the player's will not respect them

If I was a hairdresser, this would be my favourite forum. No wonder the Reds are struggling, with a fan base like this.

Not with today's Aussi Super 15 coaches. Any "X" factor by a fly half is regarded as not sticking to the game plan, just ask QC (Quade Cooper).

You could always be a Lions supporter in the AFL. I have a few mates there & they virtually had an orgasm when the Lions had a win last weekend. Very rare indeed.

After some of our forwards playing the Irish, you'd have to think that the Reds have got one of the strongest forward packs in Super 15: Front Row: J.P. Smith , Brandon Paenga-Amosa, Taniela Tupou Locks: Lukhan Tui, Isack Rodda Loose forwards:Scott Higginbotham, George Smith, Caleb Timu Those...
