    Queensland Reds 2024

    H How did he rat on his mates? My understanding was that he was at the end of his contract and they were told they would be taking a big cut in terms of pay. So he took the option and left. Got a great offer from Japan with a pay gurantee. He has likely earned more in the past couple years...

    Wallabies 2023

    I'm pretty confused about all this chat about Gleeson at 7. An option at 8 or even 6? For sure. I definitely haven't seen anything from him which suggests he could go the distance at intl level as a 7. Happy to be proven wrong but he hasn't shown it yet. We need a workhorse there to balance...

    Queensland Reds 2024

    Always thought he was best at 12/wing when he was younger. Real potential at 13 in his prime too but we(wobs) had big T.

    Reds 2023

    Not suggesting they drop him at all. He is playing extremely well. As is McReight. Never the less I'd like to see the combination at some stage With one of Wright or Mcreight at 7.

    Reds 2023

    Uru was great on Friday. His carries were what Harry's critics say he is missing. Would love to see a backrow with Wilson at 8, playing the wider ranging role which he excells at and Uru at 6 doing what he was doing on Friday. Blythe and Vest were both good in the Row. Probably Vest's best...

    Round 10: Reds v Force- Saturday April 29 @ Suncorp 7:35pm

    I'm surprised more hasn't been said about the Flook non try due obstruction. To me and my understanding there wasn't any obstruction. Not sure how you can obstruct when running a support line from an onside position. Campbell can't just disappear nor should he have to stop and give way to a...

    Reds 2023

    I'm not Reg however I suspect it's because you're shitting on an 18yo rookie for not being Dan Carter. "Even as an 18yo it's below par" Give it a rest. How many other 18yo playmakers do you see running around in super rugby. He has been pretty damn impressive in a couple of his outings for the...

    Blues vs Waratahs, Sat Apr 22 Eden Park. RD 9

    Genuine question, I have only seen the short highlights. Did anyone else think the 1st blues try was obstruction? I only saw it in real time the. 1 replay however it looked like the Blues player had latched in front of the ball carrieder and technically obstructed the defense. I have a feeling...

    Reds 2023

    Didn't have the balls? Hahaha. Heenan has a long history of selecting colts when/if they're ready and have shown they can match it with the guys in grades. The Uni 10 was playing great rugby last year, Lynagh was going ok in colts and improved towards they latter part of the year. He got a fair...

    Rebels v Reds 25/03 @ AAMI

    Well done Rebels, exciting game and did think they would get up. Reds aren't really kicking on under Thorne unfortunately. Tight 5 injuries not helping at all either. A couple of points. The Reds are clearly training for flat passes at the defensive line. JOCs passes aren't being called out at...

    Round 4: Hurricanes v Waratahs, Friday 17th March

    Of course there is, hence the rest of my post. His strengths and weaknesses have been well noted his whole career. No reason the coaching staff can't work into a gameplan/system to get the most out of him and have their systems working well with him on the field. He worked hard on the weekend...

    Round 4: Hurricanes v Waratahs, Friday 17th March

    People have been bagging Nadolo for last week but I thought he had some really quality involvements. Im sure he will be disappointed in hinself for not scoring that try, hardly the only one on the field that made mistakes which led to missed chances. It's nothing new that he gets targeted in...

    Super Rugby 2023 Rd 2: Force v Reds, Sun 5th Mar

    Agreed Reg. Tight 5 in general with the Smith injury cloud and Uru at lock. Force front row should mince the Reds however hopefully the young fellas show up. Reds should have it over the Force everywhere else though.

    Under-20 Competitions including Oceania & World U20s

    Wow not often you see the Kiwis with a tournament ranking like that. Hopefully a sign that other countries have caught up.

    SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) 23 Trial Match - ACT Brumbies v Melbourne Rebels Wagga Wagga

    Both he and his brother played at my club in Brisbane. They're great, down to earth and highly talented men. Joe looks to have really come along over the past couple of years. He was very good in the Qld club comp. Looks to have picked up some extra pace too. Hope he gets some consistent game...

    SRP (Super Rugby Pacific) 23 Trial Match - ACT Brumbies v Melbourne Rebels Wagga Wagga

    Some nice tries in that. Toole's 1st one was great. Ikitau is a freak. Can anyone shed light on players who played well for either side?
