Great decision! Well done to all involved in solving this issue.

I'll see your Wells and raise you a Paddy Ryan.

I'm pretty sure Khunts latest behaviour would be a termination event in his contract. The Reds might make a commercial decision to give them certainty,and throw him something. The Reds might decide to play hardball, in which case KHunt would need to be very confident or he could be crippled with...

I think there's a huge difference from not rating him,and therefore not intending to use him, to excommunicating him from the squad.

My understanding is that they are required to pay him,but are not required to play him, whilst still having veto rights on his participation in other sports whilst he's under contract.I recall there were extensive negotiations about his first fight,which would support my theory. I'm also on...

The only guarantee is that without some sort of external assistance, they are terminal. It might not even involve $$, what if they got all the fringe Tahs players that had no demonstrated ties to a SS club? Last year they could have had Mason,Maclean jones,Wilkin and probably a few more that...

Why would they allow him to do that? For whatever reason, they want him to bugger off, and get off their payroll don't they?

It's a battle. How can they improve without community support, but how can the community become engaged with their current offering? They need a circuit breaker to alter their current trajectory.

Haha, whoops! Still,I'd back him to outlast Gibson if there was a market.

You make it sound like each coach is on equal footing, which is clearly not the case. No coach is under more pressure than Gibson to retain his job. The Reds only need to show promise for Thorn to be safe,I can't see a scenario where Larkham is under the pump. And the Rebels have never had...

I think ATM the coach prefers proven performers rather than players with upside, given his tenuous grip on his job. Step 1 save my job Step 2 plan for the future.

You've not been to HK? Our boys get booed when they come out to warm up It's like a pantomime.

on what basis has QC (Quade Cooper) been banished to club Rugby? it's been long time since he's been poorly performed in public. hard to play Khunt and not QC (Quade Cooper) isn't it?

Despite losing a few players for this week, we still looked strong yesterday. I thought we were a touch unlucky with a few crucial decisions going against us in a tight game v Fiji. Did I see the coach played Porch twice in that game,so he didn't have to put Lucas on?

I'm more interested in how the new faces & fringe guys went than the score. if a few of them step up we'll be ok, if not things could get sticky when injuries kick in.

We have drawn well, we are likely to be meeting either USA or Kenya in quarters. NZ have to contend with SA or Eng,a much tougher assignment.

I'm suggesting that if these squads are filled by the 19 year olds like Horwitz and Deegan, they are throwing money away. Deegan never played a game in his two or three years,Horwitz didn't make a contribution until his 5th year. Again, sign the exceptional ones when they pop up,that's not an...

That's pretty much my point. If it's not entirely obvious,don't give them a full time contract.Seems to me they have an unofficial quota, and the decision is about which is the best option. Let them develop in colts, just like most of the current Tahs did, when an exceptional kid comes along...

It's a reality that resources are finite. It's a reality that the Tahs have a poor record in picking winners from School. There are no black and whites. I think there is a huge difference between judged the best of the crop by amateur selectors, and being recognised as being a standard higher...

That's not supported by history. Schoolboy rockstars have a poor track history at the Tahs.
