The methodology in how the Brumbies play is just so outdated. There was a time when it worked but that was long ago. It is a big flaw in the coaching that they know no other way. The talent is plentiful but how they are encouraged to play is a big shame. It is no surprise that more hard...

I get what you are saying RH but there is some context behind those stats. EJ (Eddie Jones) and RG are clear cut. Mooney and Link are a bit different. Mooney embraced some good young talent and in his short tenure changed the ethos in how the Reds played. By a long shot not the complete package but he...

O'Connor has to make the change but not in a manner that hinders a young players development. The blame rests at O'Connors feet. What does he do with his backs at training? So far to me it looks like he doesn't know shit from cake. Another poor coach that needs to be purged. We have zero...

Frisby is back on track at 9. He got dicked around a lot last year remember. He is fine. Cooper we need back as he is that communicator we are lacking. Sure 2011 was his height of powers but since his career has been injury disturbed and not stringing lengthy game time has showed. I wouldn't be...

Tahs would be close to having the worst tight 5 in the comp at the moment. That bench lock looks worthy of more game time than your starters. Tahs fans also need to get on their knees to the rugby gods and prey for the return of Foley. Beale has no game management skills frankly...

None of this is surprising given how unwilling they were to make changes last year. Graham is an incompetent coach but the first blood spilled needs to be the enablers who have kept him there and got him there in the first place. Hope of improvement will only become evident when the whole...

Marto was a bloody good full back. I also understand a cancer battle cut short a lot of his rugby career. I don't particularly like him but I respect anyone who has faced down a battle like that. It takes an enormous amount of guts and character to fight through that. As for saying dumb...

Losing Genia, Horwil and Cooper while Keeping Graham. We are going to need to find a shitload of intellectual capital from somewhere, then transfer it onto the field somehow.

The media did a real number drumming up the Quade Cooper booing thing before the test this week. Pretty cheap shit in order for a cheap headline in my view. It was old news before these wankers beat it up again.

I would like to see teams with a penalty after time is up be given the lineout option. Like in the NRC last year. That way they have the full advantage that comes with the penalty at their disposal.

Without going to the usual player x vs player y argument, I think it's a shame we didn't get to see Arnold get a shot. Maybe there is an injury concern or he didn't put in on the training paddock during camp or something but I am curious as to what he would offer.

No, I would of said we got beaten by a better team on the night but I don't accept the premise that it was a likely result. We mind as well throw in the towel now with that attitude. I think we squandered a great opportunity by making the changes we did. I don't claim to know better than the...

First up, there is nothing ungracious about my comment. Of course we were outplayed as we did to them last week. I take nothing away from the AB performance. They certainly did play to the benchmark they have set for a long time. It is what we should of anticipated from them as how they play...

And this weeks changes were going to fix that? Really? Last week was the simple problem of having a stand in caller who though capable of doing the job, does not do the Job on a regular basis. Simple logic would say a second week with the same pack and caller would have ironed much of that...

No, he can own the changes he made. I'm sure he had his reasons but he still has to own it. Only the bloody stupid would be taken by surprise at the quality of the AB performance tonight. It's obvious they would have been hurting after last week. None the less they were there for the taking...

That sucked. Chieka took the good from last week and changed it when he just had to fix what didn't. It was crazy on his part. Blaming one or two players is ignorant. It was a shit team performance period. anyways enough of that. Congratulations to those AB's who played their last...

We can't say shit about AB forwards loitering. We did it all game, obviously to slow Smith down and we got away with it.

Every Reds fan to engage against the Reds admin and RG. We may still be able to drive them out yet.

Forwards played bloody well but the inside backs sucked. The bench bailed them out. Cut the crap and insert that bloody Cooper To'omua combo period. They could really go great behind a forwards performance like that. AB's off their game but Wallabies played the game to take them away from their...
