    Melbourne Rebels 2024

    I'm starting to intensely dislike that term "exciting". At least the way it is used and overused in rugby. Edit: @Reg, you're confused. Waugh starts a response to whether the Rebels plights will cast a cloud over Super Round in Melbourne (which it will, surely) and responds with it is...

    Melbourne Rebels 2024

    At the real cost on the bench? The bloke is a great player, all I'm saying is that isn't enough necessarily to walk into any team - especially when you consider spending and time spent developing player squads which may or may not leave room. What is needed is for a team in Melbourne to...

    I can't see many teams willing to afford him on the bench, at the Reds at least I'd be disappointed if he was starting (injury excluded).

    The Math is not working. $1.7m x 3 = $5.1m Claimed PAYE tax bill = $11.6m Conclusion: RA and the RUPA wage guaranty is not the main issue here, even if correct as claimed. I'm stunned that the ATO has apparently been mute a) for 3 years; b) until the debt climbed to 8 figures; or c) until the...

    The day after beyond? I hear Chinese fishing vessels have been dragging anchor chains around the Pitcairns.

    Queensland Reds 2024

    He's a great back up with considerable experience and maturity and the ability to play many positions. He should lock down all the game play and Coaching intentions. He could be fabulous for closing out a game. [If and only if his performance hits the right levels.]

    Queensland Reds 2024

    Completely agree, just well, how long do we give him? I thought there was a planned connection with Petaia coming inside and Vunivalu wide waiting for a break created by Petaia. It was right there almost for the taking several times, but I don't think worked at any point. It could be...

    Queensland Reds 2024

    Do your self a favour and go back and watch the first half once the broadcast system is back on replay. It is worth a Reds fan seeing how things were looking for this one.

    Queensland Reds 2024

    I'm pretty chuffed with our options at 10. Based solely on the televised trials I think that HMP was well in front. Of course the coaching team has much more data than that. Certainly yesterday HMP was behind a pack going forward with certainty and Lynagh behind a ruck line that was more...

    Reds v Waratahs - Roma Festival of Rugby 10 Feb

    I would imagine that there was something of a difference between the two packs in work load management in the run to the trial. The disparity could easily be answered by this.

    Reds v Waratahs - Roma Festival of Rugby 10 Feb

    Thanks Santos - great to see country rugby. Reds were on fire in the first half, Tahs pulled them up in the second. Plenty of work ons but plenty to like and definite improvement from last week.

    Reds v Waratahs - Roma Festival of Rugby 10 Feb

    The last one held. The one before that dropped both sides. The one before that, strangely was Reds. It has to be consistent fail on one side.

    Reds lineout dropping off all of a sudden. Dont think it was the throw, Cormak should probably have caught that.

    Yep. Awesome work from Hodgman carving up the maul , can't remember who broke to score.

    Reds v Waratahs - Roma Festival of Rugby 10 Feb

    I think the Reds work on the forwards making ground in tight is a huge improve. Continually making some distance, makes it hard to defend and the Reds backs are taking opportunity.
