Lol. K

Yeah, pretty sure this has been standard practice for as long as I've followed the Wallabies - especially with the camps leading into June. Somebody has to hold the bags and stand on the scrum machine.

On the topic of talented youngsters, I'd like to appeal to those here much closer to QLD Rugby than I currently am.. In the last 5-8 years how much young, Super Rugby level talent has Queensland actually lost to other interstate franchises (not including Hanson, as that seemed more of a...

The 2011 matches are getting harder and harder to find on the tube these days :( Can't disagree about the sooking - wasn't Genia doing the sook face a bit of a meme on here just a few short years ago?

Tahs have to improve individual body shape at the rucks ASAP or it's going to catch up to them

5th place in the 60m, he's not going anywhere with the track and field team.

Cooper was also posting stuff on his social media about how much of a step up 7's is in terms of fitness. He also played a lot of minutes off the bench so it's not like he was out there rolling for the full 14 every match. Shit, even just from playing 7's and XV's at a relatively competitive...

True, I hadn't thought about the end of the Super Rugby season running through to August. I'm not sure what the implications would be regarding the ARU overriding part of his contract unless they were paying Montpellier for it.

Actually I may be totally wrong about Tomane. I didn't realize that the Top 14 season starts in August, looks about the same time as TRC kicks off. That may even put June Tests into question given the preseason period must start in July at the latest?

Well put. This isn't even to mention what it's like being a player who is part of a team having a system forced on them that clearly doesn't work. Do you go against coach's plan and risk not getting selected because of this?.. Which in a professional sporting environment is one step away...

Henry would surely be missing the majority, if not all, of the pre-RC trainings so that might rule him out at least for the initial rounds. Tomane should be around unless he elects to head over early and start brushing up on his French. Wish he wasn't going - most athletic winger that's been up...

Would put him comfortably in the Top 3-5 highest paid players (in raw contract value) worldwide, crazy Would be a shame to lose him at 27-28 years old. One of a handful of players that is pretty much irreplaceable in terms of replicating their skillset

Really hard to argue against Gale getting a shot at the starting jersey soon. His speed of service has made our attack look notably less impotent when he's come on.

Well, it took a good few years for things to get to this point. Here's to the long road ahead and hopefully the Reds finding their feet again.

If the try line was behind our gain line or beyond the touch line we may be top of the table in a few months!

Using 11/14 as inside runners, having some 12/13 switch moves, structuring 2nd touches for the playmakers, the fullback calling for adjustments to moves, and using the openside winger to pin opposition defenders near the touchline are all essential elements of any backs moves sheet.. The Reds...

Seriously, we would be better off if the backs would mutiny before the game and commit to playing flat on 2nd/3rd phase and just running "hands" down the line with an occasional overs/unders line from 12/13. Then again, that would have to be preceded by us getting quick ball instead of getting...

Because we have a bit of depth at LHP currently and are about to go through losing our #1 and #2 THPs within the same year (something that would seriously screw up any test rugby side - we were actually incredibly fortunate to have 2 THP that could be interchanged without much difference in...

Houston was/is a gun that I was really disappointed to see go overseas a few years ago - although retaining him with Samo and Higgers both on the books (and in form) would have been difficult. His presence would immediately change the shape of our back row and bring back some of the dynamism...
