The quotes from Hunt’s lawyer are breath-taking! He’s just coming to terms with what’s in jeopardy? So presumably the last punishment meant very little to him. The QRU and ARU deserve this situation as they were the ones who lacked the balls to terminate his contract the first time around.

What a fiasco the last 5 years at Ballymore have been: this confection only adds to it. I support the decision to replace Stiles but not with another coach who is completely untried. Adding TT into the mix, who has shown no ability to improve players since his return to Australian, is simply...

A great arvo out on the Ballymore Hill watching two incredibly committed teams. Well done Heavies who faced the challenge of the GPS pack and came out on top. What is it with the QRU temperance society however? 25 mins to get a beer because not enough bar staff. Every year this happens.

An entirely predictable result. Cheika has nowhere to hide with this one. He blamed the June series piss-poorness on fitness, and vicariously the super rugby coaches but this result is all his. Ponderous selections, non-existent execution, diabolical skills, these are the things that have...

Booked my tickets and looking forward to a great game. Lets hope the QRU don't rope off the middle of the hill so no one can there as they did last year; fucking hopeless. 'Carn Heavies.

Agree entirely re Tui. Makes the argument for having 5 teams to build depth even more tenuous.

The Rebels contributing to building depth in Australian rugby one international forward signing at time.

Ticks all the boxes. 1. He's from Qld. 2. He's a mate.

A different perspective on Gill; despite him being overweight and lacking leadership skills as implied above, he won the Pilecki Medal in 2015 (with a record points tally) and then won it again in 2016 (by a considerable margin despite missing the opening rounds of the season). Not being able...

Scrap it. The depth argument for it doesn't work when Aus rugby still needs to bring back old stagers from OS or sign international players to fill teams. Last year the average score across all NRC matches was 70 pts/game which shows defence is an after thought. Yes I get it that tries are...

I was at Yoku Rd on Saturday and thought CFS played a decent game. Very strong ball carries and some solid defensive work. Scored a try dragging a couple of GPS players behind him. Still carrying a fair bit of condition and came off after 60 odd mins. Massive strapping on his knee and upper...

In other news, the 'Rebels' forum thread is the most positive its been in months!

At least they've dispensed with the 'world wide search' charade and are now just directly appointing under-performing mates; that's some form of progress.

Fella who I work with told me today that he saw Folau and a group of other Wallaby players last night and asked me why they were in town. Sums up the level of engagement the casual Wallaby supporter has with the game at present.

the team is on similar to the trajectory to the Wallaby team under Deans. Mystery selections/non-selections, abysmal skills, lack of accountability for performance, straight jacket play, telegraphed option taking, poor leadership et al. There is nothing to suggest that Cheika can turn this...

The optimism for this season was justified but the risk was always the coaching staff and the management of the team. There really is no end in sight as we've got the current set-up for a few years at least. Wayne Smith in the Oz saying Reds are the most penalised team in the Comp which is a...

I like reading these pages for the various 'snippets' of information that posters' post from 'sources'. As was proved during the RG saga, most of what was speculated on from sources proved to be entirely accurate despite the under-current of QRU 'boosterism' that prevailed on these forum...

I have a solution, let's conduct a world-wide search to find the best coach we possibly can. That'd work, surely?
