I received the Reds membership info pack and found it interesting that Quade is no where to be seen. These things take a while to put together and he is one of the most popular players over the last few years. I may be looking to deep into this but I smell something fishy. Sent from my iPad...

I think we all just have to accept that the Reds are a very ordinary professional sporting organization. They were lucky at the start of pro rugby to have a very good coach and some of the best talent in the world. Since then it has been a story of mediocrity, where they have picked coaches...

It the coaching box match up that will count the most. Hopefully Cron has a good influence, as I rate him highly. Gibson on the other hand is Gibson. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It's more a reflection of where I see the Reds and the Tah's currently, it might be a bit harsh on the Tah's.

So I can see the MoonDogs finishing 3rd in the Aussie pool ahead of the Tah's and the Reds. I know Joseph is talking up finals but I don't think he has the squad, he is arguably the best coach in the pool though so anything could happen.

In this thread I can only do :(

I see Stewart has been named in the Junior Wallabies squad. Surely he won’t be involved as he’ll be playing every game for the Reds. Good to see Jason Gilmore get the head coaching gig. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

If the Reds make the finals then I’ll definitely give Thorn credit. I’m a Reds fan, always have been and always will be. I want them to be successful. My issue is the way these things are being done. I would hate to hear people say the Reds didn’t make the finals because they had an...

But that’s the trick with professional coaching. You have to manage your list and if it’s not what you would have picked you still need to make it work. Cutting guys who are contracted, days after announcing your squad is a bit ridiculous. Quade could have added a huge amount of support to...

I’d prefer the Reds to live within their means and build from the ground up, rather than go bust paying for players who won’t result in what they are after. Rugby isn’t the EPL, where the most money wins titles. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yeah I think Moore will be picked up in a corporate role. Very intelligent man, would have been a doctor if not for rugby. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I’m not totally sure that Thorn has the public backing. Lots of guys I know are in the “wait and see” camp and the only reason they aren’t incredibly upset is because it’s the QRU and they’ve made us expect this from them. Thorn had success in the NRC, completely turning around Qld Country...

By he sounds of things Thorn is going to be a one man band. I get the impression that he is a confrontational character, based on other guys leaving and a story I was told about how he became QC (Quade Cooper) coach. I’m not a big TT fan but I would have thought having someone in the coaching staff who had...

Is the because the Reds aren’t paying enough coaches who they have gotten rid of or has he found another job and wants out? All his talk was about wanting to come home and be in Brisbane. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So it seems Quade is doing the right thing currently. Has gone to LA to train with EXOS who do a lot of work with NFL players and guys getting ready for the combine. Seems he wants to be in the best possible physical shape to start 2018. http://www.teamexos.com/

I don’t think anyone is saying he should be a 12. Most good 10’s spend some time at 12 outside a quality 10. It allows them to learn from someone on the field. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Cooper has too much to offer to be in clubland. Ironically I feel he would add a lot to the Wallabies with his wide passing game. Also I don’t think his defence will keep him out. I do think the Reds will need to blood the next in line in Stewart with cameos off the bench or even a start at 12...

There is a lot to like out of QLD Country. Hopefully the positives can be transferred across to the Reds, something Stiles failed to do with his City success. Timu and Tupou look outstanding at NRC level.

This is a classic bit of fake news. The Japanese season has changed so it is no longer a possibility for players to play that and super rugby if they also play for the Wallabies. He would have had to leave at the start of the Rugby Championship and that was never an option.

He will be a star come the RWC and league will never get him back. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
