I know Kerr-Barlow is very highly regarded by the AB coaches and they have been watching his recovery closely during his long injury lay off.

I get that but he isn't volunteering his services and the resources to keep him could be better used. We had the option to keep Thompson another year and we have squandered that. I am sure they want to free up the marquee player spot to band aid another recruiting stuff up by pulling out...

Both but it not entirely fair to hold the quality of performance against him after limited time from serious injury. What I believe is we should of kept Thompson over him. I also resent the playing roster becoming a turnstile when the only one that needs to be cast aside clings onto his job...

That is very easy to celebrate unless you are the mob that has had his culture trampled on and in many cases wiped out of existence. To do what you are suggesting (which I think is a wonderful idea) would have to be done on equal terms and that is just not where we are yet. The big question is...

I don't give a shit. He was a bad investment yet he remains. Thompson was a good investment and is gone despite being willing to stay. Same with turner. They pull out of trying to keep the player that is the linch pin of the playing group yet they keep one who offered nothing. I can't help...

The ontology behind the culture is vastly different. Western society is very much founded on inductive and deductive reasoning whereas Indigenous culture isn't. We hear the term country and it means something physical but country in Aboriginal culture, country is holistic in that it represents...

Edit: Post moved to different thread.

I fixed that one up for you Scoey. Thompson had a good year and is an incredibly diverse player but we kept Tui who played fark all. Who is the next big thing that will replace Turner? Without Cooper he is the one with the rugby brain that needed to be kept? Do these morons use any logic...

The heart of the problem is we haven't identified what that is. In this area, you kiwis are so more advanced than us. It is a national shame and often finds its way into the too hard basket. We have a PM that describes Indigenous people living on country as a lifestyle choice. That...

This is all just so fucking cruel. All the best for her future and at very least she is back in the hands of loved ones. I suspect she will always have her rugby family.

This is the sad part about it. It is at the point where if anyone does renew and continue financial support, they are enablers to the dismal situation which is fucking the progress the Reds had made. It is now at the point where things have to get worse before any hope of them getting better or...

The way I look at the big fella is he is the replacement for Holmes when the time comes. He has a couple more years in him and that times well with Thor's development. In the current Reds set piece environment where the coaching and senior players are quality, Thor should be an absolute weapon...

I guess it will give all the keyboard warriors a chance to dump shit on him despite having no idea of the context. Even if it was an unwise snap, as a human being we all have them from time to time. Plenty of people on this forum engage their typing fingers before engaging their brain and make...

Around the 10 channel but not to replace the 10 himself. I want us to be ready to exploit miss matches and the 10 is the enabler to facilitate that. I want the 10 to be ready to send turnover ball wide when the opportunity presents. Those forwards in that circumstance will have their opposite...

Over complicated. Only time Cooper shouldn't defend the 10 channel is when a kick is anticipated and he can be used for counter attack at the back. Otherwise we lose counter attack opportunity up front in the line from turn over ball. This is a core reason the Cooper To'omua combination...

I kind of feel sorry for the poor bastard stuck on the wing in this years Force side. Fella needed a deck chair and a good book stuck out there. I back him to thrive with the width Chieka plays with.

Should of made this side a combined south pacific islands side. Yeah the money is in Japan but the heart lies in these countries. We have all raped these nations for a long time and should have bought them into the fold.

I like Cummins because be runs straight and hard, good support and is one of the hardest working wingers off the ball since Ben Tune.

Were set Slim, we left Arnold at home and we have Mumm on the plane. Pissed off because we need to see if Arnold can cut it. Not saying he will outright but we sure need to find out. Sooner the fucking better.

If we are going to turn Wallaby selections into a basis for players to practice the fundamentals of their positions, we are stuffed. Yep we know what Horwill offers, we seen what Horwill offers and dare I say our front row felt what Horwill offers. Take the name Horwill out of the equation and...
