Frighteningly true.

It’s been declared as that since at least 2014, if not 2013. The ‘progress’ level’s rate of progress implies a Super Rugby title in 2083.

The Reds’ coaching team is simply not adequate if the goal is a Super w/l % > 50%. There is adequate talent in the squad to achieve 50% +. Corozza is the worst in his ‘attack’ area, McGahan, yesterday’s bad news, is close behind. Overall, this Reds team is little better now late in the Rounds...

Oh dear, Reds halves Phipps/Foley v Chiefs - 7-8/10 Lucas/Lance so far tonight 4-5/10 at best

Just as an aside, that NZ Super viewing data you quote would also tend to confirm a speculation that current poor Aust Super viewing figures are in significant part propped up via our large Kiwi expat populations here.

Has it been posted that it's now confirmed Ireland are indeed sending a full-strength squad to Australia for the June Tests: SQUAD Forwards (18) Rory Best (Banbridge/Ulster) 111 (capt) Tadhg Beirne (Scarlets) * Jack Conan (Old Belvedere/Leinster) 7 Sean Cronin (St. Mary's...

Yeah man. Slipper has this morning stated he's been dealing with depression for some time. Anyone who thinks a notable % of our 200 best rugby players haven't suffered from bouts of severe anxiety, mild or deep depression or elements of bi-polar disorder needs to experience a bit more of what...

Strong rumours in London that Matt Taylor - key AC for the Reds in 2010-11 - is about to be appointed as Defence Coach for England under EJ (Eddie Jones): https://www.rugbypass.com/news/england-look-north-not-west-gustard-replacement-reports/ Absolutely blows me away that this obviously very talented...

If Thorn has any planning sense - I hope he does - he MUST now make those changes at 9 and 10 with 2019 in mind. For 2018 he's got some 'legitimacy of excuses' for a poor (in results terms) 2018, but that will have completely evaporated in his Year 2 at the Reds. And as stated before, the...

A quick comment, not on the whole shooting match, but on this IMO _fundamentally important_ consideration: Whatever format may be chosen or tested, for any configuration of Australian teams within such, we must only configure as many teams as we have (or can recruit overseas) high quality...

This sadly may be the time when the Reds regret taking those two early penalty kicks v trying for 5/7 pointers.

Please please Brad - forget J Lance except for Xmas and birthday parties

Higgers and the TThor - go you good things

^^^^ I’d hate to think, shudder to think, what Dismal Pilock could do with and to the phrase ‘escape the humiliation’.

Lucas is really totally out of this level

Canes look like they thought they’d come to a picnic

Haha no one (v much incl me) would have picked this score and 2 Reds tries at 28 mins in!!

Our defence - FFS

Mistake to keep kicking for 3 points - never will you beat the Canes with increments of 3
