Furthermore, this whole "Simmons will give away a penalty rah rah rah. . . He's a bone-headed player. . . No discipline" thing is a myth that has persisted long beyond it's period of validity, similar to "Quade can't tackle", "AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) can't pass" etc. I'd like to see Simmons and Skelton start the...

Brumbieman, take off the glasses or get off the sauce. We'd have to be nuts to discard Simmons for Carter at this stage. Simmons is a) Calls the line out and actually pinches more than a few on their throw (best form of maul defence is to pinch it in the air, primary possession and all that...

Offer him something Reds, by the time you see him in the NRC he'll have Super Rugby teams lining up

^ could someone please send the above link to quade's facebook or Twitter

Moore no question. Certain starter, keeper of standards, tactically astute, seniority, hanging around next year etc. Slipper for VC. No formal fucking "leadership group" or "standards group". 1 skipper and a VC and that's it

I accept your viewpoint but respectfully disagree. "The standout No 9 so far" is a fairly long bow to draw. He's been good in patches, and poor in patches (he wasn't just shit vs blues, he was pretty average against the tahs and has had some poor moments in other games). I'll be interested to...

I do not and have never considered White to be Phipps back up. Genia is playing better footy currently in a fucking shithouse team. I have been rather disappointed in White (and Carter) so far this season, sucks because I think he is (they) are very good player(s)

The Reds will field their strongest forward pack of the season this week. If they want to crack a win finally, they should be focusing hard on how they are going to really try and take the Cheetahs on in the set piece.

Look, as far as I'm concerned it comes down to this. - To'omua has played the best footy at 12 of any wallaby in that position over that last 3-4 years - Cooper has more potential upside at 10 than any other candidate for that jersey. His purported downsides have diminished every year for the...

I'm going to have a crack at a calm and rational response. This is roughly what I have put together as the timeline based on first hand accounts from the players about when they heard what. The Reds were never in hunt to retain Harris. I can confirm this because the bloke alluded as such to me...

20th minute

The Reds are just SO FUCKING HOPELESS without quade. They looked so good for 20 mins.

Gill doing the work of two men

JOC (James O'Connor) SHOULD KICK

Horwill you FUCKINGN idiot

How much attention have you been paying Scubber? Taps came off the bench last week and was pretty good. Ant was ok. I'd prefer Taps

Agreed, the World Cup is two months long. Plenty of time for the guys to physically fall in a heap if they aren't managed appropriately. Furthermore, the 11-12 week build up to RWC is plenty of time to make a difference to the squads level of physical preparation (strength, power, speed...

A Reds line up of 1. Slipper 2. FTS 3. Holmes 4. Dules 5. Kev 6. Thomson 7. Gill 8. Browning 9. Genia 10. Cooper 11. JOC (James O'Connor) 12. Tapuai 13. Kerevi 14. Panther 15. Turner 16. Hanson 17. Daley 18. Talakai 19. Kotze 20. Schatz or Robinson 21. Frisby 22. Hunt 23. CFS ...should win....but won't

What I've taken from the above is that there are deep, institutional issues at the Reds, many and varied. The level of ability in the squad is not an issue, most everything else is.

Probably fair enough currently Brumbieman. We all know Pocock can potentially be in the 23 or the 15 but his play is yet to lock that down for him. At the moment I want Higgers somewhere in the 23. You also haven't yet named a reserve tight head. I want Holmes,
